What’s weird is the airbrushed cap. He had only played with the Cubs, 1965 through 1971 before his trade to Oakland. What other cap could he be wearing? I can only think of a trademark/copyright issue with the team… the “Cub Power” cloth pennants seem to date to approx. 1969.

What's the chance that that Holtzman pennant is a fantasy piece? The fabric looks different to the other Cubs Power editions. This is the back of my My Ernie Banks Pennant from the series. It has the MLBPA logo but not the Copyright text above it. It also has the name and address of All Sports Company. (My full size Cubs Power pennant has exactly the same).
Besides all of that...what are the odds that anyone would produce a pennant for Ken Holtzman?
