This 1962 Giants pennant is... strange. It is on the rare side and I have some questions about quality control. I bought the one on the bottom a week or so ago. My other two have some damage and this new one wasn't all that expensive. The first one I ever bought has the spine bleed. The second one is pretty nice, but it has a hole in it and very strange wrinkles. When I saw the third one (on the bottom) listed on ebay, it looked like it might be in better condition. It turns out that the ebay pic presented the pennant in a very favorable light and it was a kind of dirty. I've managed to clean it pretty well with a wet cloth.

When I put them all together, I noticed a few things. This new one is clearly a slightly different color, even after you take condition into account. And it is smaller (height and length). And the material is kind of different for each pennant.

But the strangest thing to me is that all three have some differences among the batters (see how many differences you can spot). Seems very strange for what was likely a very briefly made pennant. Not sure if this happened because of the screens being copied at some point? There being multiple versions of the same screen(s)? Or.... just natural variation from pennant to pennant when humans are involved.
Quality control must not have been great as with my version they literally cut another piece of screened felt and glued it on the pennant at the bottom. I don’t know what’s underneath, but most likely American League champions.

Much nicer in person. The plastic must've been 40-50 years old. Tape practically turned to dust.

PS...Shipped on 10/1, delivered on 10/7 from Japan. That's faster than mail from Canada.

They sure appear to be. Not sure how prevalent forgery is in Japan. I'm thinking not as likely as in the U.S.

Pennant sighting!

I was watching a video online of when the New York football Giants stadium opened in 1976. They showed a scene of fans tailgating outside, and I spotted this beautiful Giants pennant on the table with the food.

Are they using it for a place mat?

I had this sighting recently. I think this was an ad on eBay.

Even a Giants fan can appreciate how cool and rare that is!
