PS. !f I had an historically old/valuable pennant I wouldn't have touched it.

Well here's a rare historical pennant that just sold for 1/10th of its "would be" value in EX condition. Even with all of its faults, the graphics appear completely undisturbed...

Whoever won this one might consider paying you a handsome sum to perform your "felting needle magic". Can't imagine a better candidate, if the right color burgundy wool could be obtained. I am normally against restoration, but this one could really benefit from the "felting" procedure.
Great job on the A's Pennant, BTW!
