Hey, pennant guys

[perezfan]

Great stuff, Rob...

That Pratt Pennant is sweet, and definitely early 1900s.

Been a long while since I've posted any pickups, so here are a few recent ones. The highlights are a super-rare Rockford Peaches Pennant is NRMT shape. I wanted just one example from the AAGPBL, and this was the one to have.

Also a single-year Football Franchise - the NY Bulldogs. A somewhat crazy and confusing history, as the Boston Yanks became the NY Bulldogs. After just one year, they became the New York Yanks for 2 years, and then the Dallas Texans. Thanks Google!

Also landed a rare 1960 All Star Game Pennant, with many thanks to my net54 friend Erik, for the assist...

Well thats a nice grouping!

Thanks... I know... No focus whatsoever.

Just a completely random grouping of cool felt.

Great haul Mark! The 1960 All Star pennant reminds me of a similar NFL All Star pennant. Same team logos design. The Rockford pennant is sweet!

Happy to see that Mating Bears pennant find a good home.

Those are some nice pick ups guys. Mark, I’m surprised you were fine with the wear to that 1960 All Star. I dont think most people understand how difficult some pennants are to find. I have the American and National versions of this pennant, but not in the blue color. They are really hard to find given how easy most 1960’s pennants are to find. I also think a lot of dated 1961 Yankees pennants are very difficult for their age. You would think that anything from New York would be easy to find, but that’s not always the case.

Yes, so true!

Because you never see that one, I was willing to compromise a bit on the condition. It was kind of a missing ink to my All Star run of pennants, so I can look past the stain pretty easily.

Would LOVE to see your 1960 American League version, if you can dig it out (and if it's not too much trouble). Not sure if I have ever seen that one!

Jason -
This 1961 Yankees is the first pennant that I purchased from you. I think it was 15 years ago.
I have not seen another. As you stated - they are hard to find.
