Nope, that’s one that I need. Actually I am just short of half the teams. It’s a cool looking series, possibly the last one before they went cheap.

So, what am I looking for....MLB logo and cloth? Probably white?

This is a very common Giants pennant from that era. This one is cloth but no logo.

Sorry to go off topic but...Is there any way this lot really sold for over $7K? I doubt anyone here bought it....but if so...was there a diamond hidden in here somewhere?

And, hey, $56 shipping!

Oh it's definitely sold. And it shows up as the highest selling lot for pennants if you sort by highest.



As an added bonus, he doesn't accept returns.

It appears to be this one, based on the trademark which is very distinct. MLB batter logo, then a wide MLB underneath, and c1969 MLBPC underneath that ...

These were also made in felt, no tassels, wide spine, same trademark except for no date. They appear to be from 70-71 since I have a Brewers pennant of that type. But the cloth ones are extra cool IMO

This one also comes with the 1969 and the MLBPC.

I think Greg is looking for one with the big MLB under the logo. I don’t have one.

Kind of an interesting pennant. The size is odd, but it seems to be machine cut. Then, there's the applique. Very thin. Mock up? Prototype?

...and needs bleach.

Ha! Not mine, and I think I'll stay away from the bleaching project. I'm more leery these days about bleaching felt (see below). But I was wondering if the white Giants pennant is the one that might show up in cloth, with the larger MLB (as opposed to the orange one Greg posted).

As for bleaching, I picked up this Oilers pennant a few months ago on an offer. It's tough to find in white, so I took a chance. What I didn't realize is that this pretty old pennant is made of very stiff felt. I started with the 50/50 bleach/water mix I've used before and it didn't do s*%t. It was taking forever for the liquid to soak into the material. I ended up switching to 100% bleach spraying for about 5 minutes, because the pennant looked pretty crappy with the stain and I decided I was going to see how much it could take. The results are below. Overall, it's not great, but not total trash. Given how much bleach I poured onto it, I'm actually surprised that there is any blue left at all (you can see streaking in the blue if you look closely). I had the spine taped, but it didn't mater after I went spray crazy. I may attach a new spine and just hang it somewhere in direct sunlight (where I can't hang any really good stuff). If I decided to try to bleach anything like this again, I think I'd try soaking it in water first, so the belach could get in to the material more quickly. And I'd remove the spine first.

Marc, very cool Oilers pennant and nice job!

That Giants pennant is nice but one of the more common 1969s, not sure if made by the same company that made the cloth pennants. I think the cloth are Trench and the felt is Wincraft?
