Love the 49ers pennant Marc. Personally, I think the tassels that you've added make a big difference.
I might be the only one, but I like getting "loosely rolled" pennants. Especially when they're done properly. One auction house that I've used a few times, uses a thick cardboard tube to roll the pennants around and then wraps the rolled pennant(s) in plastic film. It arrives safe and sound every time, is much easier to ship and doesn't get beaten to hell by USPS or Fedex. |
I've warmed up to the rolled pennant packages as well... except when it's rolled too tightly and the painted graphics crack.
There can be problems with flat boxed pennants, too. Most sellers fail to use a plastic sleeve, which presents potential problems...
1. I received one last week with a hole punched all the way through the flat box. Pennant was ruined.
2. Pennant can move inside the box, causing the last 3" of the tip to look like an accordion.
3. Sellers get lax, and let the tip or tassels get caught up in the tape on either end. I've experienced a few lost/destroyed tips and tassels as a result.
So "loosely rolled" is fine with me if they do it the right way.
