I did manage to pick up this 73 Pirates Team Pennant. It arrived yesterday. It's nothing very rare but the price was right. I'm enjoying picking up team photo pennants.

Gary that’s cool, but isn’t it a ‘71 Pirates? That’s what it says on the pic. Looks like cloth that has stayed very clean.

Photo pennants are very much under appreciated. I think they are way cool. The 1960-61 Trenches even use the flocked velvety graphics.

I don’t think Trench made any photo pennants for the Red Sox, Milwaukee Braves, Giants, or Cubs.

Yes, it is a '71. That's my bad. I have a 73 Tigers Team pennant on the way too and I'm confusing myself. You're spot on about it being cloth too.

Hey Mark, how much would a WGN Philly A's go for in clean shape? Both versions.

Great question. They've really dried up in recent years, so I'm not sure if traditional pricing applies any longer. But I would think around $250 - $300 for the cartoonish elephant mascot, and $400 - $450 for the rarer "realistic" elephant.

Just a somewhat educated guess... perhaps others here feel differently.

I think this, too, is a WGN from the mid-late 1940s. Much more common, as you know.
