Hey, pennant guys

One thought on thin holders...some are clear; some are cloudy. I hate the cloudy ones. They might be OK for storage, but not for display, The cloudy ones really dull the colors (which my pics may or may not show).

I only use rigid holders on badly deteriorating pennants. The cinderella Boys shown is riddled with moth holes. I had to put it in a thin holder to even get it into the rigid one.

To get very soft pennants into a rigid holder, I put the pennant on top of one rigid holder, slide them both into another rigid holder as far as they will go, then pull the first rigid holder out from under the pennant and out of the other holder, which leaves the pennant almost all the way in. I then tap the tip gently on the floor to get the pennant the rest of the way into the holder. I've never tried this with a soft holder as the "carrier," but that might work, too. To display on my walls, I use an inch or so of the heavy-duty double-sided tape available at Staples on three points of the back of the rigid holder, then place the pennant where I want it on the wall and press hard on the spots where I can feel tape bulging from the other side. I've had pennants in place for 15 years so far still with the original tape.

Mine are all in rigid holders, I get them in slowly, even the soft cloth ones, by tapping the holder gently. They are fixed to the wall (cheap paneling) with thumbtacks ... one through the holder (upper left corner) and another at the tip on which the point rests (like on a ledge).

I'm a weird pennant collector. I don't have one displayed. They are all tucked away in my "vault". Since space is at a premium, I prefer only the clear, soft ultra pro sleeves.

Very cool room Greg. Unfortunately, here in Texas, we don't have basements and every room I'd consider gets way too much light. I'd be worried about fading.

In Texas, I use blackout blinds for my room. Works really well.

Wow, great pennant collection!

I don't have any displayed yet either. I am waiting to hopefully move to a place where I have room to display my Yankees collection or maybe even have a man cave. Hopefully that happens within the next year or so.
