Hey, pennant guys

[thetahat]

I have a feeling that the Twins pennant is gonna have GREAT EYE APPEAL!

I added some more 1970's pennants to my album. Nothing good but a Net54 member reached out to me to see if I was interested in a pennant I already have. I also have a ton with the "Big G, Big S" logo that started in 1983, like the last (misspelled one) in the album.

Marc - am I missing any from my latest additions?

These are great, Rob. I'm still after the elusive '69 cloth ASCO Giants. Same as this one in your pic which I am posting here. I've only seen one - had it in my possession as I bought a lot, but it was so beat up (and not described as such) that I returned it. I've *never* seen the A's in cloth.

But then I have *only* seen the Senators in cloth - not felt - so maybe they used cloth for a few years with the same '69 stamp. But then they also made some with a 1970 stamp ...

(Okay, it's a snow day, fellas ... no school ... what else am I supposed to be doing?)

EDIT: I do have the A’s in 1969 felt ... but the Giants is hard in both materials with that dated MLB stamp.

Truly astonishing collection, Rob, especially considering they didn't start until 1958! The Giants should make a display at the ballpark, that would be a must-see for their fans. Which Senators pennant are you referencing, Greg, do you have a picture?

Not sure why I like this one - obscure but cool and can't find info on this design?

That was discussed recently. Either go back a few pages or hang tight.

The best Mariners pennant to exist, and a real toughie. I have it with yellow felt and blue graphics (the reverse of yours).

This is from that obscure series which includes the Padres, Rangers, Brewers and Mariners. The very last series of pennants to feature original artistry and no MLB logo.

Great M's pennant.... Hang on to that one!

It's been a bumper week for pennant deliveries here. I picked these two up in a lot of Phillies Pennants. The auction listing had these 2 amongst a number of 70s/80s pennants.

The artwork and font on both pennants looks the same. Are they made by Trench?

Also, is it even worth trying to clean the spine?

Hank, here’s a pic of it along with my 6 footer, both stamped 1969. I had another one with some wear but just acquired a mint version along with two Senators repros and a beat up ‘69 Trench. This was the only one in the lot I wanted, incredibly hard to find it without cracking in the logo which is VERY thick paint.

ASCO also made a cool 1970 Senators picture pennant which I haven’t seen in quite awhile.

That is a tough Senators pennant, and the 6-footer is just off the charts. The 1970 picture pennant used to be fairly common, I guess everything is getting collected up. The other Senators picture pennant from 1964 is much tougher than the 1970, by a factor of three or four to one, I would guess, but it has been a while since I've seen either one.
