Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

A while back, Marc (bocca) posted a picture of a previously unseen SF Giants "Keezer" pennant. I'm not sure if Marc's pennant was marked, bit it is indeed a Keezer.

Nice to see the stamp. The seller also had, if I recall correctly, a Rangers and Royals pennant from the same series. I figured they were equally rare. Maybe should have bought them but I try to stick with SF and Houston. And, of course, there is the Houston pennant from this same series (I think Greg has this one). I think I've seen it come up for auction once or twice, and it has sold for good money. The most recent one (not the one below) had some moth or silverfish damage and still sold for around $500. I'd love to get one of these.

Love these Keezers (even the D**gers)!

Do you guys have the red cloth Astros Pennant with the white Astronaut? It's my favorite Astros pennant, and I believe their first-ever.

I don't have that red one, but I think Greg does. His is the only one I've seen. Also Keezer?

And, Rick, I assume that your Dodgers pennant is also super tough to find?

I've only seen that Dodgers pennant on eBay once...and it was just a couple weeks ago. I believe this is that exact one. And if it is...it was a nice deal.

Rob, yes, it was the one on ebay. Someone actually bought it with a $15 BIN within hours of its initial listing when it wasn't listed as a Keezer, then relisted it to flip it a few weeks later as a Keezer. I'm fairly new to pennant collecting (I have bought a few over the years, but don't really know much about them), so when I saw it relisted I asked Kyle for some info on Keeezer's, which was extremely helpful. And of course the info provided by all of you on this thread is terrific.

I can't really speak to the rarity, but I really like the simplicity of the graphics.

Kyle has not addressed Keezer in his blog, has he? If not, he needs to!

Marc, yep, here you go along with my other Keezers. The Phillies is my favorite …

Greg...

Attached is a pic of a pic you sent me, waaaaay back before the days of eBay. I think this was in 2000 or 2001, so nearly 20 years ago!

You highlighted the Astros Pennant as “one of the coolest you’d ever seen”. I picked up mine about 6 months before you sent me this photo (along with the rare Keezer Angels). It looks like your collection has grown just a bit since then!

Ps. Also pictured is that great Pirates Pennant with the Ship that you love! We sure had to work lots harder, and network through the mail before the days of eBay and Internet Auctions. And now that it’s much easier, the good stuff has pretty much dried up!

Mark! Whoa that’s fantastic! Yes this was before my collection went off-the-rails crazy. And there’s the Pirate ship pennant! Back then I used to go to the quarterly shows outside Philly and sell/trade, I unloaded it and quickly regretted it. Thanks for sending that pic ...

Back then there was no spelling correction on eBay and I used to check “pennent” and “penant” ... I hit the motherload one day on about 20 pennants that went dirt cheap! .... Now I’m still buying and putting them right into those big Tupperware containers ... I need help!
