Hey, pennant guys

[yankeesjetsfan]

Hey guys,

I came home The other night and found a package in my kitchen. I wasnt expecting one so when I opened it up I found a note from Rob fballguy and these 2 awesome Jets pennants inside.

Rob, thanks for the pennants, the friendship and the talks about NYC hot dogs.

Fballguy is a Goodguy!

So, I got lucky enough to get connected with a Giants collector who is downsizing his collection. I was able to pick up these four rare Giants pennants. I'm especially excited about the Orange pennant depicting Seals Stadium.

Great pennants Marc! I especially like the picture pennant.

Which brings me to another question for the collectors here… Does anyone know why some teams don't have any picture pennants from the 60s? I can think of two general styles although there are a few I've seen which are isolates knockoffs. Anyway I don't think I've ever seen a Cubs picture pennant, only one Mets before '69 ... no Red Sox either. Has anyone else?

I am personally trying to complete a Phillies "set" from 1960-69 ....

I don't know, Greg. In my experience, some of the 1970s picture pennants seem to be pretty rare, but command little money (less than more common logo pennants). I just picked up this 1978 Astros team pennant. Or, from my Giants collecting perspective, a Bruce Bochy rookie pennant.

Here's a rare (at least to me) 1970's picture pennant I picked up recently.

[bocca001]

I'm not sure that there could be a more 1970s pennant than that. Pretty cool.

I swear that picture pennant used to belong to me! The "pinback ring" in the lower left is the giveaway. Small world!

My pleasure Mike. You guys going to have a white Christmas? It was actually cold here in Texas (relatively) for the past couple weeks...even got a dusting of snow...but temps are gradually climbing this week. In the 70's now unfortunately.

Happy Holidays to all.

Hey Rob,

We might get a dusting of snow for Christmas. Maybe less than an inch. That could change though.

70's? I'm jealous, lol.

Marc....

Those are all 4 great! Especially the Seals Stadium version that you made reference to. It's one of those that I regretted trading a few years ago (hoping another one would eventually surface). Has not happened so far, but good to see that you found one. It's possibly the SF Giants first-ever pennant.

Great haul!

Merry Christmas everybody!

A few of my friends know I picked these up, but figured I’d share with the group. The condition of the football pennants vary, but there is a good bleach candidate in the Browns pennant. I hope to have better results than my KC Royals attempt...but it’s good to have one under you belt . Maybe Rob can hold my hand with some drying technique, too. Haha

The NY Giants pennant and program were a fun find!

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Gorgeous Giants Pennant!

[Fballguy]

Cool football lot Erik. That Browns pennant will clean up nicely. I'll take it off your hands if you want.
