Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

I was in Cooperstown today. My son is playing in a baseball tournament. One of the souvenir shops there has been in business since the 1940s, selling baseball stuff since the 1960s. This old ad from their store was posted up by the register, with some familiar looking pennants ($1.00 each).

They also still have some new old stock baseball items (no pennants, unfortunately) from 1950s-1970s. See pics below. The round felt patches have never been easy for me to find. They have a decent selection of them at the store (see pics), for a few teams at least. $10 per patch. Not so bad.

And, prince that he is, bocca called me today from Cooperstown to see if I needed anything. I did and he hooked me up. This is what the hobby is, at its best.

Great stuff Marc! Those sealed emblems are very cool. And hey...I see pennants in the bottom picture.

PS...Try Ommegang.

PPS...Only 99 degrees today. It's cooling off!

Just wanted to revive this thread from it's current stagnancy. Skip the ad, and then check out this video clip from the 8:50 - 8:55 mark...

Wow...A buck a piece you think? You don't see those very often.

Pics in post 6216 … I enjoy these videos. Back then I thought they were Ad flag but they could be WGN. The Trench ASG pennants are best but for some reason they ditched the scroll that year.

There are plenty of cool 1960s NFL/AFL videos and pennant shots are plenty

It has been quite dead, hasn’t it? Some of you heavy hitters need to get busy.

As an aside, I am doubtful I will ever add another SF Giants pennant to my collection. I know what I’m looking for but doubt I’ll ever find any of them.

I feel the same way about the Rams. So my interests expand in other directions. Not a lot of old pennants turning up lately but phantom pennants have been.

Just returned from my trip to the northeast. Took some pictures of the random assortment pennants on display at the Hall of Fame (and, yes, that is my reflection in the pics.. sorry about that). Overall, I enjoyed being in Cooperstown. It was fun to walk around and shop. To see baseball card and memorabilia stores, even if most of the stuff was not exactly what I was looking for. If your kid or any kid you know plays baseball, they should certainly go to one of the massive 12u tournaments. My son had a blast (and hit 6 home runs across 8 games).
