Wow! I've gotta think you have the world's best collection of pre-1940s pennants.

I agree Mark's collection is second to none. Not only is there a large number of great pennants, but the condition is amazing.

Mark:
bee-yootiful pennants as always, but that framed Wrigley's ad (which kinda disappears when shown in your post) is outstanding as well...nice stuff. DS |

Don't be bummed, Mark, but I prefer what Jerry does with his matting.

Incredible collection Mark! I am always hoping to find a ratty oversized teens era pennant at a flea market for very little money (I can always hope). This is a fairly recent antique shop pick up. Has anyone seen this before? I checked Google and only found the Connie Mack ring leader pennant that looks similar, although mine is smaller and does not have Mack's name. Could this have been issued after Mack's passing?

Thanks - It is just a matter of what catches the eye. Mark's presentation has a great "floating look" that captures lightness of the pennants. Mine is just a little more structured. Jerry Monday night - LA vs SF - Kersh vs Madbum........................ |

Thanks to the members above who made such nice comments
![]() Actually, I believe the '49 All Star Pennant is the rarer of the two. Both are scarce, but that '49 circular design is never seen. I've seen only one other, that was offered by Hunt Auctions. So if Jerry's example came from Hunt's, then that is the lone one. Rob: FWIW, I also admire Jerry's impeccable framing and presentation style (and actually prefer his to mine as well!) Nobody does it better than Jerry, and Board Members like "Mike H", "Scott G" and "Jester", just to name a few. The reasons I do mine the way I do is three-fold... 1. I don't like to hand the pennants over to a third party Framer. Just my own OCD affliction... would much rather do the framing myself. 2. Double-matting them that way requires an adhesive (tape or glue) or using a micro-thin "fishing line". Something to hold the pennant firmly against the back mat. Even though experienced framers can do this virtually invisibly, I can't bring myself to tape the reverse or stitch through the actual pennant. 3. Cost.... By doing it all myself (with sectional frame components) I save at least $120 per pennant on framing. 50 framed pennants X $120 is over $6,000 I've saved in framing cost... that's more disposable money for pennants! Alan: Unfortunately, that A's Pennant is a Mitchell & Ness Repro
