This has become comical to me. The blotter provides proof enough for me. I guess if it hasn't for a few people, that is fine by me. All I can add is that Ferguson issued the large pennants, they didn't produce them. The manufacturer(s) could easily have had access and rights to use a variety of photos. Since the large pennants could have been made well after the blotter was printed or if the large pennants were produced in small batches over time, it wouldn't be a shock that access or choice of photos could have changed. At this point, this is more of an issue of who manufactured the pennants, not who issued them. Maybe someday, somebody will find a print ad showing that somebody else in addition to Ferguson had also issued large 9x24 pennants, but we certainly have proof that Ferguson did.
