Hey, pennant guys

So I would say Kyle is the Rod Carew (or perhaps the Tony Gwynn) of this Forum. Greg is the Babe Ruth, and Baseball Rob is the Willie Mays. That guy who started the angry vindictive Glove Repair thread can be the Barry Bonds (roid-rage and all).

Oh man ... I AM ROD CAREW.....

Very well then, I pledge to only use my research for the good of our hobby.

Big thanks to Fballguy for the opportunity to add these Tiger pennants to my collection.

Awesome. You're welcome! Really glad they made it to you. The USPS has been an adventure lately. That was relatively quick considering.

This is the most pristine white Giants pennant I've ever been able to buy. It's in really nice shape. My picture doesn't do it justice. It's not felt... more like a very stiff cloth material. Like cloth soaked in paint. Thanks to Greg for pointing it out to me.

Great acquisitions, Stephen and Marc!!

Marc and I have had discussions about the 1969-197? ASCO set. You may recall I have an unhealthy obsession with trying to complete the 1969 set in cloth, with the distinct fat MLB mark. This is no doubt the same company. I need a few teams still ... I have them in felt not cloth ... but I have never seen the ‘69 cloth ASCO Giants. It likely looks like this one, I wonder if it is multicolor. The felt versions are all black on orange.

Well. boys, it's a momentous day here in the "Hey, pennant guys" thread because I have figured out how you Heavy Hitters can frame your oversized pennants. If you look in the "September pickups" thread. you'll see my latest, low end acquisition. It measured 22 x 28, so I bought a cheap ($12) 24 x 36 poster frame and cut it down (I do this with both plastic and wood frames).

With the leftover plexi, I framed a small NYG pennant. You could do the same with oversized pennants. The only tools you need are shown in the photo (those and a straight edge). You could get one frame out of a 24 x 36 frame or two out of a 27 x 40. Unfortunately, you would not have enough "edging" for the two but, with a steady hand, wrapping the edges with black electrical tape wouldn't look terrible....at least not to a "low end" guy like me.

I really hope someone (Greg?) tries this and posts the results!

That’s awesome!!! You used a utility knife to cut the plastic and it cut easy without chipping? Great work. I have been doing this with 20 and even 40 gauge vinyl rolls. I made 5 holders from a rolls that cost $40 which was almost half shipping. This looks fantastic.

And I should add that it’s an awesome pennant, too!
