My BF3 Collection
 

At 86, I'm probably one of the oldest members of the forum. For the last 35 years, I have been collecting BF3 pennants. I wanted to start sharing pictures of my collection. Here are my Type 1s.

Jim

Here are my Type 2s

And Type 3s

That is a truly awesome collection! Is it complete?

Amazing collection! Thanks for sharing it :cool:

Incredible!!!

I agree and wonder the same.

I really like the variety of player poses used in the Type 1 set — nearly every one is unique. The second series only uses a few different poses, while the third series has none.

I have another 8 types to post, if I can get my son to do it. I have over 450
of a possible 475 bf3s. There is no compete check list of these.

Agree.... I like the Type 1 set the best as well. Great stuff... what an awesome collection!

Stupendous. Thankful that you shared these.

Beyond words
 

That is just fantastic! Congratulations on a real lifetime achievement and for being a part of such a great hobby for so long! What’s the first things you bought as a younger man? You must have some great stories…… Rocky

Jim Very impressive!

Bf3 collection
 

Love it! Amazing to see so many of each type all at once. Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful collection Thankyou for sharing it!

Thank you for this wonderful display.

Very nice! The off the beaten track collectibles often give the greatest joy to a collector..

You have probably amassed the best/most complete collection of BF3's and the collectors among us can appreciate the time and trouble required to find these.

Amazing stuff, thank you VERY much for posting.

Sounds like you need to create a checklist to post on OldCardboard...


Edited to say that it looks like you took my advice a few years ago : https://www.oldcardboard.com/eNews/2.../eMag177.htm#3

How did you manage to make the “photos” you posted?

Type 4. This is a salesman sample that shows information on Red Ball premiums.

Type 5

And Type 6

Amazing collection! I really appreciate seeing them.

Rob, just a large piece of white paper on the floor and the pennants on top.

Ha! Old school. I thought maybe you were “ cutting and pasting” with some sort of photo software.

Old school is sometimes easier than new school, especially with 4 inch pennants, not so much with 19 inch posters...

Such a great collection, Jim, It was moved over from the memorabilia section.

Thanks for putting this thread where they would probably go otherwise too. I have (personally) sort of lumped these in with cards but they aren't.

Love the BF3s. Probably moreso BECAUSE there are still unknowns out there. This is such an impressive collection!

Amazing group of pennants, especially like the Bees.

Wow, wow, and wow! Did I mention wow...

collection
 

Yes, quite nice

Man did I enjoy seeing those. Thank you for posting!

Thanks for sharing. Quite the collection. Over how many years have you sought out these pennants? Love the type 1 variety. Keep collecting!

ok, now that is incredible! Thanks for sharing it with us

Matt, awesome BF3 collection! I'm personally only trying to collect the Ruth and Gehrig varieties, and some of the variations can be really tough to find. I don't think I've seen that Type 1 Gehrig before, and some of the Type 2's with the block vs script and throwing vs batting variations are tough to find.

I'm 50 years old so hopefully I can build something as amazing as this over the next 35 years.

Types 7 and 8

Type 9

Type 10

Type 11

And these used to be in the Big Book under BF3s, but I actually think they are the BF4s that Jefferson Burdick refers to in his book. They are slightly larger than BF3s.
