That particular Raiders example is definitely misshapen and has something weird going on with the spine/stitching but I've seen other examples of it and think it's legit. They all have red spines for some reason, which is definitely odd.

This one would benefit greatly from a trim job on the nose and a gray spine and tassels. How does a tip get stretched that much without tearing?

The seller got great money, but me? I would have ironed it prior to taking pictures.

Okay so maybe I haven’t been THAT inactive on eBay …

Two super-sized (5-1/2 feet long) 1969 ASCOs popped up. Similar composition to my others except these don’t have grommets. The seller claims these were hung with others at the ‘69 ASG in DC which was initially postponed by rain, causing the noticeable bleeding on the Dodgers spine. (1st pic is from the auction.) Who knows if true but there was a rain out. Maybe it was at an event or something. I’d love to know more about them.

Bleeding typically is, for me, a fatal flaw. I can cope better with missing tassels or tip. But I took a gamble that I could get it out. Turns out I had a metal yardstick that fit perfectly in the spine, so I made a 20/80 bleach/water solution and brushed it on it … it worked great with no spotting at all on the underneath blue. Bleeding all gone.

That makes 6 teams now and 18 to go. LOL. No shot. But Id love to get a super-sized Pilots if one still exists. I think I saw a Twins somewhere …

I don't have this in hand yet...waiting for delivery. But I couldn't believe my luck when I came across this 1936 Yankees Grommet Pennant and managed to win it.

Absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic pickup Gary.

That’s a great pennant. I bid against Mark on the one he has. Nice pick up and obviously I’m jealous.

Not sure if anyone got in on the player photo pennants that Troy had in the last Mears auction. Some incredibly rare player pennants including Mantle and Banks. Brought good money, but if your waiting for the next ones you may be waiting for a long time.

Thanks Jason. Which auction was it that you and Mark bid at? I'm trying to get a benchmark of how often the grommet pennants come up for sale.

He obviously attended Jonsstats' "Who gives a crap...here's a picture" sellers seminar.

Because body parts in pennant photos amuse me...

This looks like a crime scene photo. Suburban housewife finally has enough of her husband's excessive pennant expenditures. Her mistake? Doesn't mourn long enough before attempting to cash in.

Who might have made these? The batter in the moon ball has been done for many teams. A different maker(?) later incorporated it in their pennants.

I think it is the “mystery NY area company”. I gotta find the pic that someone (you?) posted at some sort of 1960s banquet, behind the podium hung a bunch of team pennants. The top on is definitely from that group, likely the others.

I was kind of thinking the bottom three would be a west coast maker because I’ve never really seen anything similar…

Rob: Marc and I have been discussing these anomalies....

I'm pretty sure all four were made by Trench/IMPKO, around the time Tom Storm purchased IMPKO and their patented screen printing process. Each pennant represents a blend of Trench artwork + IMPKO's signature coloring; and all appear to have been made in the latter half of the 1960s, when the two companies became one.

As far as we know, these were only made for the SF Giants.

Interesting. So if the ball moon artwork is Trench, that mean that the other "Batter and Moon" pennants for the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Phillies were by Trench too, right? What about the "Fielder and Moon" LA Dodgers?
