OK....I didn’t look too closely.

Question ... is this a pennant or a grilled cheese?

[ooo-ribay]

measures 11” by 21”

I can't even imagine how it got to that state. Looks like it has survived fires, mud puddles and teething dogs.

Maybe it's "game used", meaning it fell out of the fan's hand and on to a very muddy playing field, where it got trampled by Curly Culp, Willie Lanier and Buck Buchanan's cleats for 3 hours.

I'm guessing it won't make it to his asking price.

LOLOL!!! That’s a good one ... in fact I can see it now ... “game waved pennant”.

On a similar note, I used to own that awesome ‘32 Cubs WS pennant that you have with the cartoon mouse-cub. Almost certain the exact pennant, has the same weird cut in the upper corner but mint condition. That was when I used to buy and trade at the Philly show like 15 years ago. Anyway I used to think ... this pennant might actually know whether or not Ruth called his shot. Then I remind myself that it’s a piece of cloth and that I’m an idiot ..

Greg...

I forgot that was once yours...

The '32 Cubs is one of my very favorites. A permanent spot on the wall for that one. The "Giant Mouse" Cub is always immensely popular with everyone who visits the house. It is unlike anything made in the last 80 years, so people are always mesmerized by it.

On a more somber note, I'm posting the 1929 Cubs (seen in the second photo) for the final time, as it has found a nice new home.

Wow! You let that great ‘29 Cubs pennant go? I didn’t miss an auction did I? What a beautiful and rare piece.

Why did the CUBS put a MOUSE on their pennant?
