With regard to eBay searches... He and I have discussed at length the best way to search vintage pennants on eBay (without being bombarded with mountains of cheap modern garbage). Things like choosing the "newly listed" option", specifying a price range, and omitting the words "Soccer, FIFA, Mini, Federation, Boxing, Basketball, Hockey, Roller, Derby, etc, etc.
You need to be careful though... I was omitting the word "new" and as a result was hiding pennants from all of the New York Teams. |
Haha...Yes. I was absent. I took some of my pennant budget and went on vacation with my wife (photo 1 below).
As far as my collection goes...I am about 97% pennants these days. They are the only thing I actively look for. The other 3% is oddball Rams items I stumble across. I flirt with getting back into cards but then I read all the drama and cool on the idea.
On displaying...My approach isn't quite the eye candy that Greg's is. Mine are stored like fine wine (photo 2). I moved 2.5 years ago and this was supposed to be temporary, but then I discovered they stack quite nicely.
