Thanks. The Browns did both pennants and jerseys extremely well.

Another recent acquisition. Never saw this before. The only commemorative Keezers I had seen are either Red Sox or Boston Braves related, which makes sense. This one doesn’t.

That thing really pops! Great pickup. You and bocca consistently take really good pictures (which is why you should be in charge of “the book” ). I’m selling a couple of non-baseball items on ebay and finally realized my outdated iphone takes better pictures than my little Canon digital camera. I’ve posted a lot of pictures here where the Canon didn’t accurately capture the color. Orange is particularly bad and, well, you know….

Speaking of orange and Keezer, bocca’s oddball Keezer Giants is probably at the top of my most wanted list. I’m insanely jealous.

Nice Pirates, Greg. This keezer, as with the minis I just found, just all seem to look well made. Seems like they hold up well over time and are never really in tatters. About the Giants... there has to be another one out there, Rob.

Wow! About an hour away from me. I going to try and find out more about where they got it.

I made contact with the seller who said he found it in a storage locker. Added there were a few other Cubs items but nothing of great value. Don’t know what he paid for the locker but I’m sure he did very well.

When I quit Corporate America (or it quits me), I'm going to become a full time picker/storage unit buyer. I love the hunt almost as much as the find.

Looks great. But I noticed the seller has a feedback of 1. I would have been nervous buying a $5K listing.

I'd love to spend my days exploring flea markets, garage sales and storage units. Unfortunately I'm in the wrong country. I hope one day I can get a rmont long hoad trip with my wife. I don't know what she'll think about taking the trip a big cargo van.

Wait--refresh my memory: what Boston Braves pennant was that?

Maybe “commemorative” isn’t the best word. I meant a pennant that is beyond generic, identifying a season or a championship. Keezer did WS pennants for the Red Sox in 1946 and 1967 and the Braves in 1948. And they have roster pennants for both teams, circa 1949-50 like this one.
