That's a possibility I guess. Still just a shame.

It was fantastic, of course! The Shea pennant is particularly fantastic. It got me wondering which Giants pennant of mine might have the most colors. I can think of some suspects. I’m gonna check my photos…

Speaking of the Giants….is that a black spine on your 1961 Candlestick ASG pennant? I’ve always seen blue. Usually faded blue.

Mark … awesome!!! Do you have a ‘61 ASG from Fenway? The only Keezer All Star pennant that I know of, which makes sense given the company’s location. There’s also a Trench I believe, without a scroll, which I don’t have. I think it’s a “I was there” style …

Not the prettiest pennant I’ve ever seen but pretty awesome for its simplicity and uniqueness!

edit: not to mention its rarity!

Agreed. It is rather unsightly. But still kinda cool. Keezer is underrated.

Nope, I've never found that one in the condition I'd like. The white felt is always dirty or yellowed. Yours is a miracle survivor! Looks like it was made yesterday.... just awesome.

I have a few holes in the "run", but the one I really want to find is 1952 (with the Liberty Bell). Had a few chances at it back in the '90s, but snoozed and missed the window of opportunity. Now it never turns up.

I need 1969, which shouldn't be too tough in theory. But when they surface, they always have some deal-killing condition issue. There's a red and a white version for 1969.

I need 1965, but do not love picture pennants. And the ones I've seen always have a photo that looks re-applied or re-taped to the reverse. Seems to be the norm, as these photos must've easily detached upon simple handling of the pennant.

I also need 1955, as I idiotically sold mine many years ago. Graphically, the 1955 looks just like 1953, and I figured I didn't need both. It was in Mint condition, too... so lots of regret with that one.

That was a successful cleaning job. As for picture pennants, I find myself liking the 1960-61 Trenches, before they started using the ribbon. A real classic look to them and they used flocked print. I just need another damn wall …
