I am still looking for the Dodgers, the tear in the knapsack scared me off the numbers it was getting. Congrats to both the buyer and seller and Mark, you’ll love the Yankee pennant!

Thanks Greg...
I agree it was a good decision to back off the Brooklyn pennant, given the torn sack and the big price it was getting. Looks like your other two are in stellar condition, and beautiful. That Giants pennant (holding the tiny ball) is off the charts cool. Also relieved to see that these pennants fit into a top loader. I was really worried that the Yankees protruding Top Hat would prevent it from fitting inside the sleeve. Last edited by perezfan; 12-09-2019 at 03:48 PM.

What’s extra cool about these pennants is that all the printing has a felt like surface to it, but it is rigid (i.e. it cracks like paint). Very unique! I only saw the Red Sox pennant once and I think Rick H. won it.

Here’s a question. Why do the Tigers have the most attractive pennants ... far and away. Probably the most variations, too, and the most dated pennants that do not commemorate a championship. But I don’t know of any scroll pennants of theirs besides the funky 1940 and the ‘45.

I agree that Tigers pennants throughout the years are the best by far. It started in the teens (with oversized beauties) and continued all the way through the sixties, with more variations than any other team, by far. They also had more “Stadium” versions than any other team.
Would love to know why, but it would probably take thousands of hours of googling, only to come up with nothing. Perhaps their person in charge of concessions just loved Pennants the way we do!

The Tigers were one of the first teams to really give them that. That's because the Tigers were the first team to partner with Sportservice. Once Navin Field's ballpark concession stands were run by Sportservice in the 1930s, that opened the door for Trench's pennants. Trench seems to have capitalized on things by the early 1940s, making some really cutting edge pennants for their exclusive use. If you look at 1940s Tigers pennants, I suspect many were made by Trench. Whereas other Trench pennants from this era utilized generic ballpark designs, their Tiger ones featured custom renderings of Briggs Stadium. Several different ones, in fact. By the 1950s Trench was making stadium pennants for other teams; but, early on, not so much. The Tigers enjoyed early access to Trench pennants via Sportservice; and that connection seems to have generated some really special pennants for them and them alone. I think that best explains why Tiger fans have it so good when it comes to terrific pennant designs.

Was not looking to sell, but $350 shipped, if anyone wants it. The spine is clean (that’s just a shadow). I’ll be listing a bunch of others on the BST later today, in all price ranges. Thanks!

Speaking of favorite pennants and cloth vs. felt, I'll submit this example. Kyle pointed out earlier that it looks like the Giants are playing in Busch stadium, which makes it randomly fun. Also, I had this pennant out the other day and I swear that it is made out of denim. Very strange. But no loose threads.

Too funny....
The Cubs did the same thing with Busch Stadium. Clearly that's the case here, but with "Wrigley Field" comically printed below. I guess that was the pennant company's "stock drawing" of a stadium. Or maybe someone in the art department just got lazy!
