Hey, pennant guys

[Fballguy]

I'd find out what the "L" stands for on the Kansas City Monarchs pennant before placing a bid...but that's just me.

I hate seeing this thread off of the front page.

I purchased this Giants/Candlestick pennant recently. It is in really nice shape and this version seems to be pretty hard to find. The colors are great.

Also... if you want to see some football pennants, go and check out Fballguy's webpage. It is really well organized and will probably make you jealous.

Nice pickup, Marc...

That one (with that color scheme) is indeed a real toughie. Possibly their very first pennant after moving from Seals Stadium to Candlestink (pun intended!)

Never had a bad time at Candlestick!

I call Marc's pennant one of the "cartoon font" series. I count nine pennants with that font. Here are a few others:

Thanks Marc. Glad you like it. Consider this an open invitation for all who wish to share pictures of pennants not shown on the site currently. I'd be thrilled to add some of the rare ones that I know people on this forum own. No pressure...Just message me if interested. I've reached out to about a dozen people so far, both on this forum and elsewhere and the feedback and willingness to share pictures has been great.

Picked up a few new ones since the last time I posted here...Recently snagged this elusive little elf after years of looking.

Sadly this one appears to be lost in the mail. Shipped to me from Illinois on 05/16. Tracking updates stop 05/25. Opened case with USPS but not too optimistic. Not sure if it's a midwest thing or if it's the case nationwide, but the USPS has become extremely unreliable in this area over the past 12 months. Don't know when I'll get another shot at this one.

I bet it turns up before too long. Sometimes the Tracking just stops, and the item still appears on your doorstep when you least expect it. I would not give up on it yet!

This thread need more pickups! After a long dry spell, I've been fortunate to acquire some nice ones recently.

Baseball first... Very stoked to re-acquire the rare Jackie Pennant, and a Tigers version I'd never seen until now...

The weird thing on this one is that it was shipped on 05/16 and as of 05/25 still hadn't made it's way out of Illinois. Very odd and the reason I'm not too optimistic. Not sure why this one went in circles for 9 days....almost like it was going down a drain.

Great pick-ups Mark. The orange Tiger pennant is one that I've never seen before either. I once owned that New York Yanks football pennant. The movie FBI Story with Jimmy Stewart has a scene of a football game at the stadium, the pennant can be seen in the background of the concourse.

A few other football pickups...

Great pickups, Mark and Rob!

I agree with Mark on the “lost” pennant. I think I have 2500+ ebay transactions. The vast majority were sent USPS. Not a single one has been lost.

This would be my first lost one as well if I remember correctly...Though your post jogged my memory of another incident. About 5 years ago...The first time I attempted to buy the New York Yanks football pennant Mark posted...I received a poster tube in the mail with one of the end caps missing and nothing inside. I was always suspect of the seller on that one. I won it in an eBay auction for a pretty low winning bid...around $100. He didn't seem too surprised or upset that it was lost and refunded my money no questions asked.
