Hey, pennant guys

[Jgwrestlng8]

This is the greatest Pennant thread ever. We are such a niche group and have some of the best (if not all) pennants in the world.

Let's try our best to move forward as group. Occasionally we all have different views but PENNANTS unite us all.

I have been collecting with my father for 26 years. I have bought from numerous members over the years and they have helped me find pennants I have been dying for. I have never shared photos with the group but though for the sake of the tread I would include one. I had custom shelving built in my home to display pennants. Here is one of my displays.

Long live Pennants and our Group!

Great pennants and fantastic display. Don’t be shy about posting more. It would be nice to get back to sharing what we have rather than reading arguments.

That St Louis Hawks pennant is awesome. Nice display

[ooo-ribay]

Love that display!

It looks a little pricey for me, though.

Really nice and yes, indeed, that STL basketball pennant is out of this world.

That NBA St. Louis Hawks Champions pennnant is incredible!! I used to enjoy this thread now its just getting a little out of hand. Trench doesnt knot the ends of the thread and didnt use purple thread . Who new, who cares.

Greg- really great Mathewson pennant. I too covet that one.

Does anybody know how many of these have survived?

Mark, do you have that one too?

Not many. What’s both odd and cool is the extended spine, as if it was part of a string?

Hi Marc...

Great Astros pennant. Impossible to find the white cloth version in that great condition with no holes or soiling. Really a beautiful example.

To answer your question... Yes, I do have the elusive 1914 Matty World Tour Pennant. But mine is a unique mustard yellow version. I have never seen this unusual color on any other pennant. Hopefully the annoying sideways pic at least portrays the color accurately.

And to Greg's point, the extended spine is another pretty unique feature. I have seen similar elongated spines (in lieu of tassels) on auto/boat/cycle racing pennants from the teens... a short lived phenomenon, for sure. Attached is a pic of an oversized teens Tacoma Tigers pennant with a similar extended spine (albeit to a lesser extent).

Congrats to Greg for landing the Matty pennant in REA. It was my favorite piece in the entire auction (biased, though I am!)

Well, to answer your question, those who pay a full price for a collectible believing that it is intact as it was originally, and then it turns out not to be, tend to care at least a little bit.

Campaigning to be added to more do not sell lists, I see.

Of course, he could always just come on here and lie about a pennant you sold him too, as has been proven. Tread lightly if you dare venture down his rabbit hole. He's a fun suck and not worth the hassle IMO.

BTW...Back so soon?
