Hey, pennant guys

I don't see any pin holes and it looks like they were just sitting in drawers for 60 years.

Rick,
Those are great ones. I was talking to a friend during the auction about how nice that Koufax is other than the spine. Doesn’t both leave that much because it’s mint otherwise. Just for info, Koufax comes in at least one other pose. Nice to get the Drysdale too. They are just way too rare to pass up in great condition. Now you just have to keep buying the other Dodgers guys when they come up.

I’ve never seen that Yankees / Dodgers HOF game either. That’s the kind of weird stuff I would have been all over if I saw it. Nice pick up. Rare graphics for 1972.

I see the Yankees pennant with the gold decorative tassle is finally getting some love for how difficult they are to find. $300 in Jon's last auction.

That border treatment is pretty ugly, IMO. But, don’t get me wrong, if the Giants had one, I’d want it!

I am pretty sure there are at least 4 different Koufax photo pennants. There is the one that was in the Mears auction - I have seen a couple of those through the years. There are also these two that I have shown (from Huggins and Scott) and I believe there is a black and white photo of Koufax used in a pennant as well.

I do have the three Koufax color photo pennants, but don't recall ever seeing one with a black and white photo. Must not be very many of them out there.

Jason, I recall a short while ago a bunch of the individual Dodger photo pennants surfaced on ebay, but I never got around to bidding. I think they were in decent shape too. Oh well.

Just picked this up. Cheap, cheap! No color ever added to the batter or ball. Graphic by Trench; lettering by IMPKO? I like how you can see they had to first screen the lettering in white, in order for the orange to show on black.

Nice one, and great condition!

Yep … bought it for $50 or so three months ago … nice profit!
