But when yours/this one came along, it rendered the other one irrelevant (as referenced by the utterly insane # of views :eek:)

Also just FYI, the irregular tassel placement is very typical for that '51 ASG Pennant. I've seen others just like that many times. 100% legit.

I knew it was legit. It does look like it used to have three tassels, top and bottom, but lost one on the bottom.

I’d like to see the old thread, too, but I’ll bet half the photos are grayed out Photobucket.

Would be fascinating to read and see what mysteries/theories existed pre-Pennant Guys. Also, painfully entertaining reading collector amazement when a Tobacco era pennant sold for $400. :cool:

Whoa Mark...Top 3 in 2007? Imagine where you rank now?! :)

Very first post too.

Mike: I just joined tonight, and this is my first post.

I think I might have the best vintage baseball pennant collection in the world... top 3 anyway. The collection spans from turn of the century to the late '60s. It stops at the point manufacturers felt the need to cheapen / mass-produce the artwork, make them stiff instead of soft, and include the MLB Logo. Until I can figure out how to display them on the floors or ceiling however, I have had to slow it down a bit. I had hoped to create some type of memorabilia museum someday, but am doubtful that enough people would actually appreciate.

I was watching this on ebay...a mailing envelope for the 1955 Post cereal patches. The Phillies patch shows the hat with orbiting baseball. Greg, was this motif used circa 1955 on Phillies pennants? There are a few kind of hard to find Giants pennants with this motif, but I think those ones are mid-1970's.

Mark mentioned doing a coffee table book, 17 years ago. Well...?

Rob, yes, there is a Trench which dates to 1955-57 with the “orbiting ball” logo and the “TMC” trademark that dates it.

Cool. Pic? I had thought these were like 20 years later but I could be wrong. Bocca?

I think those Giants are 1970s. There are several "similar" pennants for the A's and Mets (circa 1973 or so.. with players names) that seem to be from the same maker. I'm guessing they were inspired by that long used Phillies logo.
