Hey, pennant guys

Greg owns 15 of the 16 pennants from that series ... just needs the St. Louis Cardinals one, I believe.

That was certainly my understanding as well.

Correct. I don’t think this is a knockoff but an earlier WGN. I’ve seen the Cubs and Phillies versions with tassels also.

I think Rob was referring to the 49ers pennant Marc pictured.

Crap, you're right.... thanks for clarifying. That'll teach me not to post after midnight with 3 martinis in my system. Yes, that oddball 49ers has to be a one-off. Great pennant!

Been there done that. I always cringe when I wake up the next morning and wonder what I "wine posted" the night before.

Yes, I was.

Nothing wrong with a little drunk posting!

Just picked up the big (5") patch. A bargain at $7.50. Since it still has a tab, I was hoping for a maker on the back. Alas, no. I guess we don't know who made the pennant and the patches...

I recently bought this very colorful Houston Colt 45s pennant. The seller told me that he bought the pennant at Wrigley Field in 1962 or 1963. It's an Adflag pennant (thanks, Greg), so it being from Chicago makes sense.

I guess I never really thought very deeply about this in the past, but I guess it's possible (likely?) that this pennant was only sold at a handful of non-Houston stadiums. Houston fans may have never seen this pennant in Houston because the vendors in Houston were selling other pennants, such as the second and third pennants below (which would help to explain why they are more common).

What do you guys think?

I think that's a great looking pennant!

And congrats for christening page 100!
