An autograph?
Given all of the issues with bleaching red graphics, I just wasn't sure about bleaching that one with Orange. Every copy of that pennant I have ever seen has been pretty dingy. I may try picking up a second copy at some point and bleaching one. It's an uncommon pennant, but not super rare.

And, yes, the blue Colts does have autographs, from two relief pitchers. I'm usually not a fan of autographs on vintage pennants, but there was something I liked about that one. It reminded me of my kids getting autographs at games and being excited with any autographs, even the random relief pitchers (who are usually the only players you can get to sign during warmups these days). It was at a local antique store and I figured that I would help to keep it in the Houston area.
