Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

Well, you guys clearly aren't as bored as I am

Here are a few others I've picked up from ETSY this year. Usually the things I find/buy are relatively modern (1970s/1980s) but much more rare than people think.

One is a one-year pennant that is tough in general, but especially tough in orange (although there is a very beat up one on ebay right now).

The second is the rare cloth/1969 version of a rather common design.

But, yeah, mostly what I see is modern and not at all rare. It helps that I'm only looking for a few teams.

That cloth Giants is an awesome Etsy score Marc.

Here are a few of the very rare modern oddball/bootlegs I've picked up, whose value doesn't quite match their scarcity. I think some, possible all were made in the 1990s.

Those bootlegs are great, Rob.

Here are two that I really, really, really want to find.

It's interesting (to me anyway) that some of the bootlegs (like the one on the left) are made on thicker stock and others (like the one on the right, and all the ones I pictured) on thinner stock.

(Wow...Have vintage pennants really dried up this much?)

Picked up a few locally today. Having good luck finding older pennants in my area as of late.

I like the Indians. Kinda unique.

Where is our 1971 Pirates guy??? This pennant is wild:

It looks like an Ad Flag with “stolen” ASCO graphics. Same style and mascot-lifting logo seen on the 1966 Orioles, but ASCO was still using cloth and the thicker softer felt. Still I can’t say I’ve ever seen this before. …

I alerted him.

I recall that some 1973 Steve Blass pennants were made but the graphics were way, way off center ….

These are very nice, they are from that unidentified company that almost certainly made the pennants pictured here …
