If it’s pre-1970, just don’t.

I had a post 1970 one that I faded the crap out. Shit happens.

I've also never seen the non-silk version you have. If you ever decide to part ways with it let me know so I can decide what kid doesn't really need to go to college, lol.

LOL! … will do!

I was recently able to make a deal for the top pennant. Still need to iron out the tip. This copy actually has the best/most color (i.e., spray paint) I've ever seen. Those that have evidence of painting are usually even more faded. It's more common to find what appear to be monochrome versions, although it's unclear if the monochrome versions had the paint originally (and the paint completely faded over time) or never had paint. My monochrome version has no evidence of the orange in Giants or on the batter, but maybe has hint of yellow in the "explosion" where the ball is hitting the bat.

Mine is buried in a tub but I did have this picture. It appears to have color in Giants, but very very faint. The spine seems to be a different orange. Maybe the bottom one had the color completely faded away?

About that spine, here is my last copy (it's not an illness, I swear). It has that spine and also has tassels (which is why I had the multiple copies). It has what appears to be a trace of orange in the "t", although I'd need to get it out to make sure that was not dirt. Starting to think they all had paint at one point.

Great pickup, Marc...

That should iron out beautifully. Let's see the "after" pic, if/when you have a chance!

I wonder where the Mays' Mays pennant ended up?

I had a few new arrivals. They need an iron and a clean.

The Expos pennant isnt very expensive but I love the simplicity of the design. Is it Keezer or WGN?

Domer05 08-26-2024 08:56 PM

The first two are definitely by Keezer. I believe the Expos is by ADFLAG....
