Nice pick up...Your first pic and second pick are in vastly different realms of value.

I was looking at some of my Santa Clara football pennants tonight and was wondering about the generic runner/kicker/passer images on them. I have several pennants that include a generic player image (see below). I've seen most of these same images used for other teams, but not the first one (I admit that I haven't serched extensively).

I was curious if anyone has a pennant with this same runner image?

I'm also curious to hear what people think about which one of these pennants might be the oldest.

[ooo-ribay]

I think the one with the guy throwing the left stiff arm is the oldest.

Why? I dunno.

[bocca001]

It is the dirtiest.

The oldest is the small one with the runner that is facing you followed by the one with the player stiff arming with his left arm. Then the other two that are just white would likely by 50’s with the one with pink on it being from the 60’s

Agree with Jason..but I'll say the three oldest are probably pretty close in age. I have a "Los Angeles" Rams version of the small one and the Rams didn't move to L.A. until 1946. The stiff arm RB and the punter style were used pretty commonly for AAFC football pennants and defunct NFL teams (Boston Yanks, New York Yanks) from the 1940s and early 50s. The AAFC existed from 1946-49. The Boston Yanks from 1944-48. The New York Yanks 1950-51.

Interesting to note (to me anyway) the punter graphic made a comeback with Trench in the early 1960s. I've seen Cowboys, Raiders, Packers examples, with the Cowboys and Raiders not existing until 1960. But these are distinctive, because the flags around the stadium look like flags now...compared to the 1940s version (Marc's), in which the flags look like star blobs. All of the 1940s pennants have flags like this.

1940s version (star blob flags)



1960s version (normal flags)

I just added the middle 49ers pennant to my collection. About the only vintage piece I've been able to add lately.

I also added the more modern white Astros pennant (below). This pennant is more difficult to find than you'd think, especially in decent condition (see the yellowed version above it). Love the tequlia sunrise colors, and the Astrodome (which dominates most Astros pennants of the era) is nowhere to be seen. Because the Astros version has been so tough to find, I went ahead and picked up a clean version of the Giants pennant (I think it is the same series). I believe that these date to 1982/1983, as there are a number of similar looking Phillies world champs pennants for sale on eBay.

That's a very nice addition! Lifelong Rams fan here, so it pains me to look at it.... but what a cool pennant (and rare!)

Great stuff!

Did one of you guys buy the football lot that was in Heritage? Nice lot of very nice pennants. I bid, but for resale and figured it would go well above what I bid.

Someone got a nice deal. I already had most of those, and didn't want to deal with selling off the majority. But the total price was lots better than they would've cost individually.

I bid early but dropped out pretty early as well. I wanted the Chicago Cardinals and planned on selling the rest. Last I checked, the lot had exceeded what I wanted to pay with 28.25% added on. What did it go for? Went to check HA.com but they've been hacked.

[ooo-ribay]

Do you guys have examples of this? I'm wondering how it happened. Hell, I don't even know if 1960s pennants were printed by hand or came down an "assembly line." I'll bet Domer05 knows...

BTW - the first two and last two are hard to come by.
