Hey, pennant guys

I have a number of pennants in toploaders laying flat under a chair. It's not the most elegant solution. I'm curious how you're storing your pennants.

I know that Rob, Rick and Marc have shown innovative "storage" solutions that also enable the pennants to be readily displayed. Great stuff!

But (as a fellow collector who has also covered every inch of wall space) my solution is pictured below. These plastic bins are probably made for wrapping paper, but really work well for storing pennants. Available at any Target, Meijer, Container Store or Wal-Mart, each one will hold over 36 pennants.

The rigid covers (toploaders) are a bit smaller than the soft sleeves, and fit better as a result. You can face the pennants both ways, as shown below. Plus, these bins will fit underneath a bed, or are stackable if that's your preference. They provide great protection from dust, sunlight, carpet beetles and moths... not to mention kids and pets!

Hope this is helpful and best of luck!

Funny that they include the Cubs and Pilots pennants with this "1951" grouping. Especially since the date of the Pilots is right on the pennant.

That Cubs pennant sticks out like a sore thumb......

I can’t even imagine how much that frame weighs. Would need some real anchoring on the wall.

Not very practical but I love the ballpark backdrop.

Brutal! Not just the repro Cubs but the tips of the pennants in the left column are covered ... my OCD would be blown up by that monstrosity. There’s a certain feng shui to proper pennant decoration, mixing colors, etc. Or maybe I’m just nuts.

I store mine like Mark, in tubs ... I have nine under the pool table and a tenth is in a closet (with mostly 1970s).

Speaking of pennant decoration ... I was psyched to get a good deal on this oversized White Sox until I realized it doesn’t display well in the dungeon. All my pennants run parallel. I might have to turn the letters

Glad you were able to add this to your collection. I was almost relieved it wasn’t a Cubs version or I would have been in the bidding and probably a lot poorer in the end.

I'm not really a fan of that presentation for multiple reasons (overlapping on the pennants being one, and just the general "hodge podge" of it being another), but in their defense the first line of the story says "...pennants dating back to 1951..." so it's just the title that is misleading.

Also, there seems to be a glaring typo in the write up : when they say "making sixteen pennants work collectively in one 57” x 88” case provided an exciting challenge." I believe that they meant to say "stuffing", "wedging" or "forcing" instead of "making".

But I could be wrong,

Just from a decorative standpoint, the way the pennants are displayed is rather unsightly. At least he didn’t make a wheel out of them ....

Just acquired this fairly tough version from the series which included several different Cubs examples.

There’s a lot going on in that pennant!

This is about the nicest and cleanest example of this pennant I have ever seen. Really nice and tough pennant.
