Hopefully without outting a current auction, is that grey tag-looking thing indicative of a repop pennant? Never seen that before. Am I mistaking what it is?

Not modern or reproduction. Be sure to post the front after it closes (or if you win it!)

This is a recent acquisition, a fairly common pennant with two exceptions (a) purple felt and (b) extremely vivid paint colors. It was the latter that particularly jumped at me. Seems pretty clear now that some of Trench’s paint colors - mainly green - faded very quickly, which is why some stadium pennants that are otherwise pristine have yellow grass in the outfield.
I’ll note that you do see White Sox and Cardinals stadium pennants with bluish-green grass. Never have seen an Ebbets or Polo Grounds version that wasn’t a dull yellow. I’m sure Kyle knows way more about the process, in fact we may have discussed this in the past. |

I too am drawn to finding pennants with unfaded paint. Then I worry that the paint will fade unless I keep them buried in the dark. I was a bit baffled by this pennant that I posted last month, with clearly faded felt and seemingly unfaded pink under the seal. I guess the half-life for pink is much longer than green.
