Hey, pennant guys

I think trading might be more prevalent between general collectors rather than between team specific guys.

Agree with both Rob and Jason. Here are both pennants, yes they are hard to find. Killebrew has a more common ASCO pic pennant but this one rarely surfaces.

Being a “general” collector I do have interest in trading, as I still favor some teams over others and generally I go for aesthetic appeal. I prefer trading to selling (the latter of which I rarely do.) Personally I’m not the biggest fan of these later WGN pennants but I am not oblivious to its rarity. (And yes I’ve been in touch with Erik.)

I won the green SF Giants pennant. I'll post pics when it arrives. I've picked up a number of nice Giants pennants this month after going a long time with nothing all that special Giants related. Here is one that just arrived today. Great colors.

That's by far the nicest one of those I've ever seen. Love the deep purple cloth, and impossible to find this one with uncracked graphics. The cool orange tassels are just icing on the cake. Great pickup!

Regarding the Killebrew pennant: are there any difference on the back compared to the version with the color photo?

My color Killebrew is buried in a tub, but here’s a pic of the black and white version we are discussing. I think it’s the same?

Yep it's the same. Thanks for the photo.

The only SF Giants pennant depicting Seals Stadium. It's rare in any form, but the version with only black graphics is more common (the second pic). I had only seen a worthpoint picture of the one with white paint. The discoloration seems to be how the felt aged, as the discoloration did not affect the spine.

Did you get that Giants pennant Marc? Nice find.

I just had these arrive in the mail today. I believe the White Sox pennant is pretty rare but I'd welcome any additional info. The tip is blunted but otherwise it's in pretty good condition.

The Indians pennant looks like someone used a marker or crayon to color some of the graphics. But I'm going to see if I can gently clean it.

Good pickups here. I can’t say I’ve ever seen that White Sox before.

The white version of this pennant is exceptionally more difficult than the other colors (blue, black, red, green, and white) due to staining etc.
