Thanks it is one that doesn't show up on eBay terribly often. This one is the fourth bearing the 1971 Champions text that I have added to my collection. The others are more common. They are the black and white scroll versions and the Three Rivers yellow one. The black scroll version is the most attractive. Other than upgrading this one I have been looking for Steve Blass pennant. I am on the west coast so I'm limited to eBay searches.

Most of the writing did come off. The mustard yellow color is much brighter. However, a majority of the stains remain and are now more visible than ever because of that.
