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

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.

All of the photo pennants that are not Twins are very rare. Most of the player photo pennants shown I have seen less than 5 of. I used to own a Reggie Jackson so I know there are at least two. I have only seen that one Clemente and possibly two Mantles. The only other one I have seen is the one pictured in Mike's book, but it might be this same one. I also know of one Hank Aaron with a b&w photo that I have only seen one of. Super tough though.

Beautiful wall!
