You highlighted the Astros Pennant as “one of the coolest you’d ever seen”. I picked up mine about 6 months before you sent me this photo (along with the rare Keezer Angels). It looks like your collection has grown just a bit since then!

Ps. Also pictured is that great Pirates Pennant with the Ship that you love! We sure had to work lots harder, and network through the mail before the days of eBay and Internet Auctions. And now that it’s much easier, the good stuff has pretty much dried up!

Mark! Whoa that’s fantastic! Yes this was before my collection went off-the-rails crazy. And there’s the Pirate ship pennant! Back then I used to go to the quarterly shows outside Philly and sell/trade, I unloaded it and quickly regretted it. Thanks for sending that pic ...

Back then there was no spelling correction on eBay and I used to check “pennent” and “penant” ... I hit the motherload one day on about 20 pennants that went dirt cheap! .... Now I’m still buying and putting them right into those big Tupperware containers ... I need help!

LOL...I still do this. Did it earlier today as a matter of fact. Don't forget "Pennat". There are about 50 listings on eBay with pennat right now.

No wonder it's impossible to get anything by you guys!

Well, it's good to know that at least two of the red Astros pennants exist. Hopefully there are at least three in the world.

Here is the Houston Colts version of the pennant (or somethng close to the same version).

I am looking forward to Kyle doing his thing for Keezer. It seems like these "round" ones must have been their very last, right when having a license from MLB became required.

And I see several pennants on Greg's early wall that I'd love to find. Cool to see that pic, and cool that Mark saved it.

Here is an updated, panoramic view ... not high on detail

Close up of the “back wall” today, this is where all but one of the oversized pennants go

Greg, that is truly an amazing display!
