Hey, pennant guys

[Birderdj]

Anyone have any Buffalo Bisons/Bills AAFC or AFL pennants for sale?

Quick calculations: we may get our millionth view in two years and our 5000th post this year....assuming there’s still pennants to be had and mysteries to be solved.

Sorry, can't help with either of those teams, but I do have the Yankees World Champions version. Don't see those premiums around much.

I have seen larger pennants before and if I remember correctly they were very much like the ones you showed from 1969. I believe I remember someone saying they were used for display at the stadium. Here, it would have been Metropolitan Stadium for the Twins. Problem is I don't remember them having any grommets or being quite that large (6tf). They were definitely significantly larger than your normal 29 inch pennant and identical in every other feature. Oversize pennants like that are extremely rare as you know. The only one I have in my collection is this cloth 35 plus inch Yankees "Home of Champions" pennant. I've never seen another like this either which is why I picked it up despite the condition issues.

That’s a cool pennant. I don’t recall any other team with “Souvenir of ...” pennants but the Yankees.

These 1969s are really interesting, the felt resembles that of the old ones from the 1910s, has the feel of an army blanket. The printing is rubberized so that it doesn’t crack. You can fold it in half without risking damage. But just like the reg size from this series, the spine is cloth and does fade. ... Speaking of which I did find Giants and Mets in reg size cloth so I am almost finished the set.

I would think after a million views we get our own spin-off ... like Joanie Loves Chachi spun off from Happy Days ..

Interesting acquisition ... near mint Phillies pennant, no sign of tassels, not a single loose thread ... but it’s a Keezer. It’s ugly, but pretty rare, I’ve never seen this before.

Greg, seems to be same series as my LA Dodgers one, same stamp on the back. Interestingly, mine has tassels.

Rare and rarer!

Wish there was a Reds version, but am pretty sure it doesn’t exist. Does anyone have another team from this series? Can’t recall seeing any others in that unique style!

I think that these are from the same series as my Giants pennant (which has a Keezer stamp), and this Astros pennant that I don't own. I was wondering if they were from a line that Keezer was going to produce (or produce more), but then did not due to MLB copyright etc. When I bought this Giants pennant, the seller also had a Royals pennant (and one other... I forget which), which would point to 1969 or so.

Found these photos online. Are they part of this series?
