Hey, pennant guys

[Duluth Eskimo]

This is one for Rob in defiance of all the Giants pennants. It's a tough one that I have not seen before or since that actually has a piece of felt fabric glued or stitched at the bottom. Rob, hopefully you got the Giants version as I think the seller had the matching Giants one when I bought it.

The second is a tough Phil Rizzuto pennant that I like. A friend wanted me to send him a photo of it, but never got around to it. I think he will see it here.

The third is my favorite photo pennant. Another tough one to boot. The photo looks bad for some reason, but it is clear.

Thanks for sticking up for us Yankees fans Jason.
Those are some really nice Yankee pennants. Love the Mantle photo pennant.

That is a great Mantle photo pennant! Here is the 1965 version of the Dodgers pennant when they played the Twins.



Here is another very tough photo pennant.

Jason:
Those are all 3 insanely rare. I have never seen the bottom two. Especially love the Rizzuto, and didn't know it existed.

As for the '62 Yankees... I have only seen one other, and it did not have the "Giant Killers" caption. I do have the matching Giants Pennant, and it doesn't have a caption like that either. Great stuff!

DWR:
Love the Dodger Banners.... They really capture the era and look very cool.

Jason:
Below is the regular (common) version of the Rizzuto/Yankees Pennant.

Also a much less common version, with blue fringe instead of tassels.

DWR:
Below is another cool earlier Dodgers Banner (from Jackie's Rookie Season...)

Rob:
Below is the Giants Pennant that I most regret selling. It's really rare, and is from Willie Mays' time as a New York Giant. I thought I might see another one turn up, but that's not been the case. Still feeling the remorse, but it went to a great collector with impeccable taste. He specializes in 1950s "Player Pennants", so it found it's proper home. This is the example pictured on the cover of Mike's Pennant Price Guide. I'm curious if you have this one, as it's about the only Giants Pennant I didn't see pictured in your wonderful collection.

I'll throw in one more Giants Pennant below... I sold this one 3-4 years ago, and haven't seen another with multi-color graphics. I believe this one to be to be fairly rare, too.

If you EVER want to sell (or trade) that Dodgers / Twins, PLEASE let me know.

Great Yankees pennants, Jason. FYI, I'm a D**ger hater, not so much with the Yanks. That said, they are far from my favorites.

So, the "Giant Killers" was glued on after the Series? That is cool...never seen it. I also have the Giants version in orange on black (reversed).

The bottom pennant is seen in other colors. I also have the red one. Don't know if the Yanks got "top billing" in the ones sold in NY.

Loved the description with this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MLB-Flag-Pen...item338bde938e

"This item was rolled up and stuck in a drawer since 1961 and is in very good condition.

There are no Pin holes that I can see or stains.

Some of the stitching is not perfect on the flag end but it has not been altered or messed with in any way.

Thanks for looking and enjoy it as much as I have!"

i.e. stick it in a drawer.

That description is pretty funny, but I would rather see that than some of the other moronic descriptions from people that should probably know better. At least with that you know you should most likely be getting what you expect with no deception.

I believe the other Giants pennant I saw was your orange version. Very clean. You can tell that blue version you have is tough as well just by the manufacturing process or lack there of. Both very nice pennants.

For Doug,
Both DWR and I come across those Dodgers / Twins banners every once in a long while. They are tougher than the Yankees version, but not impossible to find. The hardest thing to find is either version with a good hanging rod with string that is still complete. If you want to PM me I can try to let you know if I run across one in the future.

Rob,
Here's one that's not quite a Giants, only a Giants farm club that still fits the bill with the batter.

Mark,
I found a couple of the tassel versions too in both colors. I have only seen red and blue. I had another of these, but I think I sold it on Ebay a few years back. I used to have the World Series version, but they are so expensive now that I ended up selling it. Have you ever seen any other tasseled versions other than these three? I have the regular versions as well so I just have always assumed that the manufacture put the tassels on a few to dress them up. Either that or they got a better deal on some closeout gold tasseled piping and went that route to finish an order. Either way, it looks nice.

Players Pennant Wall -
Mark - Love that Mays - I do not think we will ever see another one like it.
Appreciate very much that you let it go to me.

Jason - Thanks for helping me with what I think in the best example of the Jackie Robinson Portait Pennant. I have also posted a photo of the fringe 1955
World Series Pennant. Not perfect with coloration - it had a red pennant stacked on top and got caught in some rain - but in great shape

[Duluth Eskimo]

Jerry,
Those are fantastic. I finally showed a photo of the Phil Rizzuto pennant as well earlier in the thread. Better late then never I guess.

Jason -
The Rizzuto looks great.
Also, I have never seen another of the picture Mantle. Actually with as popular as The Mick was, you would expect to see more examples.

Beautiful wall!
