Whoa very nice! Reminded me of a Phillies pitcher (Alfonseca?) who had six fingers and toes on each hand/foot...

That Reds pennant is from the cool early 50s series, really thick felt, correct?

Yes...Thick felt. I usually avoid pennants with tip damage. I thought this was in mint condition when I bought it. It was listed at a price I felt it wouldn't last long at so I didn't have time to question the tip, which in retrospect is suspect was strategically cut off in the photo. When I received it I emailed the guy and he quickly offered a partial refund. So I kept it.

The pandemic has given me plenty of time to play with my pennants. Took inventory. Took pictures. Assembled albums. A little embarrassed to share my "Single A Ball" calibre baseball collection amongst you MLB All Star calibre collectors, but nonetheless....What else is there to do? Besides, there's a reason I'm called Fballguy.

Nice, Rob! I see lots of cool stuff in there. For example, I've never seen this Oakland pennant before (I watch Oakland stuff, but don't buy very often). I'm curious to hear from you and others about how rare it is. I also really like this NY Giants pennant. I'm sure that there are gems from other teams as well.

Hey FB Rob - I believe Erik uses water, bleach, water. Not bleach x2.

Yeah but straight bleach is the question.

Pretty damn nice baseball collection for a football guy!

Never saw that A’s pennant, the colors are bizarre. It does share the same exact font of the full team name, with the 1969 ASCO A’s pennant. I’ll snap a pic in a bit.

The Giants pennant comes from the “grommet” series whose pennants span from 1919 White Sox to the early 40s, with emphasis on the St. Louis teams. I am highly intrigued by these.

Here’s that somewhat similar A’s pennant

[bocca001]

Is that the 1969 cloth version for the A's?

My personal favorites of yours:

1. The 1960 ASG pennant
2. 1940 Tigers (stunning!)
3. 1945 Athletics, never saw it in gold
4. Colt 45s (it’s the only pennant from Ad Flag that I like, possibly the only Colts pennant with Colts ‘C’ in gun smoke.)
5. 1959 White Sox with roster in sock

I also like the Colts pennant and have attached a pic of Fballguy's example. I passed on one from a zero feedback buyer a few years and have regretted it ever since.

Also, what's the story behind this unusual White Sox pennant?

Thanks everyone...The 1940 Tigers is the gem of the collection. Amazing condition for 80 years old. It's probably my favorite.

The black Expos pennant is my most curious as it's in a style that I always assumed pre-dates the existence of the Expos.

I think there might be a dated Tigers pennant for every year from 1934 through 1951. Something unique to them. The artist always saves his best work for them. And there are like 10 different Briggs/Tiger Stadium versions!

That Expos pennant is super duper rare. Open mouth lefty hitter was surely retired by ‘69 ..... at least we thought so!

A picture from 1965 to go with your Braves pennant.....

Although I search daily It's been 2 years since a picked up a different version of the Pirates 1971 World Champions pennant . This is the eighth variation of that theme I have found. It is so pedestrian I was certain I already had it. I suppose that was because it draws on so many elements common to the other seven versions.

Also here is a fun fan photo featuring the 1971 White World Series Champion scroll pennant.
