Yeah, ebay has been pretty much a wasteland for me lately. I was just looking through some of jonsstats pennants. Interesting stuff, but none of it for me.

Mark- about the Houston stuff, I think most of us fell in the category of pretty skeptical until there is photo proof, but someone said that these have been long viewed as Astros pennants in the hobby (by people who would have been in the know many years ago).

But, why are these pennants always red, green, black... never blue or orange?

But, then there is the hat in this 1965 spring training photo that is just a star, and more recent hats have a star with a circle (with some other stuff).

I look for Houston pennants pretty regularly. These don't show up very often. Not sure what that means exactly. I also don't seen many pennants for the city of Houston in general. They are almost always tied to a particular place in Houston.
