Holy mackerel … I will say, the colors are extraordinarily vivid on this. But that’s a crazy price ..

Yeah, gorgeous pennant but could had been had cheaper. This is just the kind of Trench where I wonder if there were slight font variations like on some of the Giants.

I’m glad Lou made some coin on this. He’s a good guy with good auctions….even if they are often a little Dodgers heavy.

This just sold. Can't recall seeing a WGN professional baseball pennant this recent; or, with the words, "Western Div." on it.

Note that it is not licensed by MLB, as you might expect a post-1969 baseball pennant to be.

Looks to be the dreaded stiff “felt”?

I'm fascinated by the 1970s baseball and football pennants that should have an MLB or NFL logo, but don't. Like this Astros pennant I just got from Greg (Thanks, Greg). They often share a number of characteristics, including interesting colorful designs, really stiff felt, and especially brittle tassels. I think that Mark just got a Reds Johnny Bench pennant that probably shares these characteristics and there is a Willie Mays Mets pennants that has them too (among many others). In the football realm, the single bar pennants with stars seem to fit. As do many single bar Canteen corp pennants (they rarely or maybe never have an NFL logo?).

It would be interesting to know if these were all coming from the same maker that for some reason did not have to include the logos, or somebody (or somebodies) just making a lot of non-licensed pennants because there was no enforcement. And, when I say a lot, I mean a lot of different pennants. Many of these pennants are quite rare individually.

That Astros is the nicest of that series I've seen.

There are also several Redlegs Big Red Machine pennants out there....which is odd.
