Chris, fairly tough. I guess you see a few of these each year. I personally like the 1961 picture pennants, this was before they used the ribbon insert and displayed the year under the pic. Looks clean and should display nicely.

Giving the thread a little bump, I really like the colors on this one …

What a cool Oilers pennant. Only AFL-trademarked stadium pennant?

I have one of those with some damage. I thought about going all in for the ebay one, but didn't like the spine for an expensive upgrade. But I thought seriously about it.

Here are my Oilers. Marc I noticed yours doesn’t have the pinkish colored AFL logo. It looks better white like yours. Another oddity is that in the dark blue pennant Oiler Man isn’t wearing #60 (I assume it isn’t ‘GO’) …

I cannot recall seeing another.

The closest I've seen is the Dallas Texans Cotton Bowl pennant, but no AFL logo on that one. And the New York Jets Shea Stadium which was just post merger and has the NFL logo on it.

Exciting stuff is becoming fewer and farther between and as a result I've developed an appreciation for extremely rare modern stuff (80's-90's). Believe it or not, there is some cool stuff out there. Very under appreciated in my opinion. Don't know if it will ever take off from a value perspective, but does keep me interested when the vintage well runs dry.

This pretty much represents the best of my 2021 vintage efforts...The Eagles is particularly intriguing to me as it's black and includes tassels. I've never seen that pennant in any other color and it's always tassel-less.

Greg that Cardinal's pennant is great.

I had a few pennant arrive yesterday including this 1969 Pirates Team Pennant. (It's my first pennant from eBay.) t was described as being in "rough shape" so that price was great.

I hoped it could be cleaned up without too much hassle. So far so good.

• The first photo is from the ebay listing
• The 2nd photo is how it looked when I removed the photo to prepare it for cleaning
• Photo 3 is after I gave it a gentle soak with Oxiclean (or at least it's UK equivalent).

I just need to re-affix the photo. I'm pretty pleased with the results.

I experimented with cleaning another "beater" of a pennant too. The results weren't as good. I'll post photos to share what not to do later.
