Hey, pennant guys

[Duluth Eskimo]

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.

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.

I only have the first and fourth ones pictured. Never knew there were so many variations of that pennant. Must have been a very limited release back in the day, as you never see these.

I was getting at color vs. lack of color, in case I wasn’t clear.

Yeah, it would be interesting to see the process of these being made. I had a firend with a t-shirt business years ago (late 1980s) and the process involved dragging a blob of paint across somethng like a template that was over the shirt (series of templates, series of different color blobs). Went pretty quickly, but each involved a single person doing each color by hand. I wonder if the process is/was similar.

You are describing silk screening. We did it in high school shop class. I made the image of a flat track motorcycle racer . You “drag” the “blob” with a rubber squeegee, over a thin film with a silk like backing. You cut and peel the film from the porous portion where you want the paint to transfer. This is how I always assumed older pennants were made. Maybe on some I showed, the “color guy” called in sick.

Domer? Paging Domer!
