Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

Amazing, Keith! What year is that roster pennant?

[vintagesportflips]

Thanks Rob.
The roster pennant is 1944.

That seems like an inordinate amount of football pennants. I know nothing about football pennants....would other early teams (e.g. Bears, Packers, etc.) have about the same number?

[vintagesportflips]

I would say the above pennants probably equal about half of the different pre—1970 eagles pennants. When I get time, I’ll post the ones in my collection, although I don’t have photos of them as a group, just individual photos. As to other teams, I think Rob and Mark would likely know better than me since they collect the other teams. I would speculate they probably have more than most if not all teams.

I'd say most early teams have 50 or so pre-1970 pennants. I know the Packers, Cardinals, Rams and Giants do.

Whoop-dee-doo Cheap, though.

Ha! You are less cheap than me (on this one), as I was an underbidder.

I was hoping that you managed to get this one from a few weeks ago. I got distracted and forgot to bid. Did you get it?

Yes, I did. The polychromatic versions are not too bad but the monochrome versions of the generic stadium are pretty uninspiring. One odd thing about my recent pickup is that it’s an inch longer than my other “Polo Grounds” pennants.
