The National Thread

[MK]

First National I had been to in many years. Saw several pins I was interested in but the prices were out of sight. Even if they came down some, you were still overpaying. That was disappointing. Did find this BF3 type pennant, which is the large premium size, for a reasonable price. Does anyone know how these were distributed? I assume you had to mail something in to receive the large ones, as they are much tougher than the small ones.

Nice pick-up Mike. That is a type nine bf3 premium. There are only four teams in the type nine set, the cubs,white sox, bees and cardinals. I have only seen two premiums in the set, the managers for the cubs and white sox. My un-educated guess, based on the few premiums I have seen is that they were probably store display pieces, used to advertise the smaller pennants. But your guess is as good as mine.

Thanks Matty39. I never considered the store display theory. Could explain why there are so few of them. Really glad I picked this up. It really looks good along side my smaller BF3s.
