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!

Great pennant, Marc. That could explain the rarity, but perhaps fewer were simply manufactured as well. We can only theorize at this point.

Rob:
For me, this is page 166

Page 100 for me!

Yeah that’s a super cool pennant, hard to find as neatly cut as Marc’s. This is right around the time that Ad Flag turned over quality control to a 12 year old with scissors.

It’s interesting to note that this is the same pistol graphic on the two sided Colt 45 pennant, except smaller and inverted.

Beware the pennant eating virus. Not sure if there's a vaccine for this.
