Congrats Mark! I was an early bidder but I bowed out pretty early. Damn that 28.25% Buyer's Premium in Texas.

Yeah, buying from Heritage is tough when you live in Texas.

Here are a few others I've picked up over the past few months. The Giants pennant is an upgrade. The Houston All Star Game pennant has been elusive. And the random yellow circa 1983 unlicensed 49ers pennant may be the most difficult to find.

Those are all tougher than one would think. Nice pick ups. I have the Yankees version of that Giants pennant where they added another piece of fabric on the pennant saying “Giant Killers”. Odd pennant.

I’d like to see a picture.

I'd like to see the 1962 Yankees pennant as well.

It makes me think of this 49ers pennant that someone tried to "update" for the 49ers next Super Bowl.

I’ve posted it in this thread in the past, but I post another photo later tonight. No pouting though

I only collect pennants directly related to the 1971 Pirates. There were 8 versions of such pennants that I was aware of until today when I discovered this photo of Steve Blass on EBay. It appears that there was a 1971 World Series Championship pennant made for Steve Blass day in Canaan CT. The last census indicates there are less than 4000 residents in Canaan. Due to this I can't believe many of these were produced. Has anybody here ever seen one of these in person?

As requested. You can see it is a separate piece of fabric, but it appears that is was applied prior to sale as it looks the part. I have never seen one like it, but one could pop tomorrow. That Giants one is a tough version as well. Ironic that they are playing right now. I won't tell you who I'm rooting for.

BTW, I've never seen that Steve Blass pennant either.

I like that pennant, Jason.

And Mike has a new Holy Grail.

Do you suppose it had originally read, "American League Champions"? And then they updated their unsold stock after the series ended? Definitely looks like the original manufacturer made this modification.

I guess they had to fill some space; hence the "Giant Killers" addition.
