Although I don't collect them, I've always been interested in the team photo pennants. My question is what is the earliest one made? A quick search of eBay revealed this 1959 White Sox version. Anyone have one earlier? Also, there are obviously many of these for some teams (Yankees for example), and none for other teams (Cubs). Anyone know of a checklist for these types? Finally, when was production of these stopped. It appears to me at some point in the 1980s, the actual photo inserted into the pennant stopped.

Jeff:
Wonderful pickup on the oversized Cubs Pennant. Definitely Cubs and not Bears. The Cubs used Maroon/Burgundy almost exclusively with their early pennants. That is an early to mid-teens pennant, and the Bears didn't exist until 1922. That's a beauty and in amazing shape, given its age! Mike: I believe 1959 is about the earliest known for the actual photo pennants. I can't recall seeing any of that style that are earlier. Of course it's possible, but seems they were most prevalent from 1959 - the mid seventies or so. Last edited by perezfan; 06-05-2016 at 11:37 AM.

The only Giants photo pennant is 1962 NL Champs. Aren't they all for either league or World Series champs? If so, that would explain no Cubs.

Nope... Not exclusively for Champs and Pennant Winners.
The Reds, for example, did a photo pennant every year between 1960 and 1977 or so. These were sold at the stadium, in addition to the pennants with regular (screened) graphics.
