I probably bought that photo 20 years ago, and it was stored in a binder that I hadn't looked through for quite a while. But I was chatting with Kyle about Dodger pennants, and remembered seeing one pictured somewhere in a photo. And there it was. I would gladly trade the photo for the pennant .

Haven’t seen these before. Common? Apologies for the terribly small pics.

Chris...

Those are both fairly prevalent. I believe there was a "find" of the 1966 pennant, that was likely unsold stock from that World Series. As a result, many of them are still found in NRMT-MINT condition. The 1965 Twins version is quite a bit rarer than the '66 Orioles.

Thanks Mark!

A few more...You have to look closely at the Pirates crowd...There are a few in there with the Beat'em Bucs most prominent. And also at the second Jackie Robinson pic to find the haphazard way he stores his pennants.

A few photo pennants and a scroll in that Pirates crowd shot. That Fernando Valenzuela pennant isn't a stunner....but I don't think I've ever seen one come up for sale. Not that I'd buy it..

This was the scene outside Reina's Delicatessen, 95th St. and 4th Ave., Brooklyn, NY on the day Brooklyn won its first and only championship in October of 1955.

Among all the jubilant children, one girl is seen on the floor, crying. Someone called her out by inscribing the notation, "GIANT FAN --> " on the photo beside her (I swear it wasn't me).

Anyway, two cool Dodger pennants by Trench in the window....

Here it is... I've only seen this, and one other in the last 30+ years. To say it's rare is an understatement. It was obviously made after the Dodgers won the pennant, and sold during the 1959 World Series. Had to be a very limited production run for this one...

I haven't found the photo published anywhere, but I did find an article in the Sporting News describing a celebration party in Chicago at the Conrad Hilton on Oct 8, right after the Dodgers won the WS (remember, these were all day games back then). The article says "eight players wives, and the entire Dodger office staff, had been flown in the day before". I can't find any reference to a Dodger party in LA, only a reception at the airport when they flew back. So that Dodger pennant was probably a Chicago version, which may explain its scarcity.

That’s a tough pennant Mark

That's a great point, and a very logical assumption. It certainly does resemble the artwork used for the Go-Go Sox pennants of the exact same time frame. I bet it was indeed the Chicago/Comiskey Park version of the Dodgers Pennant.

I love that pennant, even if it is...you know who.
