How could that be? I started the pennant thread. You mean you guys discussed pennants before I came along?

YES! There WAS a very substantial pennant thread before you came along. Perhaps someone can find it (who's better than me at the search function). I think of it periodically and would actually love to see it.

But when yours/this one came along, it rendered the other one irrelevant (as referenced by the utterly insane # of views )

Also just FYI, the irregular tassel placement is very typical for that '51 ASG Pennant. I've seen others just like that many times. 100% legit.

I knew it was legit. It does look like it used to have three tassels, top and bottom, but lost one on the bottom.

I’d like to see the old thread, too, but I’ll bet half the photos are grayed out Photobucket.

Would be fascinating to read and see what mysteries/theories existed pre-Pennant Guys. Also, painfully entertaining reading collector amazement when a Tobacco era pennant sold for $400.

Whoa Mark...Top 3 in 2007? Imagine where you rank now?!

Very first post too.

Mike: I just joined tonight, and this is my first post.

I think I might have the best vintage baseball pennant collection in the world... top 3 anyway. The collection spans from turn of the century to the late '60s. It stops at the point manufacturers felt the need to cheapen / mass-produce the artwork, make them stiff instead of soft, and include the MLB Logo. Until I can figure out how to display them on the floors or ceiling however, I have had to slow it down a bit. I had hoped to create some type of memorabilia museum someday, but am doubtful that enough people would actually appreciate.

That’s gonna be fun to read through those TWO pages!

I was watching this on ebay...a mailing envelope for the 1955 Post cereal patches. The Phillies patch shows the hat with orbiting baseball. Greg, was this motif used circa 1955 on Phillies pennants? There are a few kind of hard to find Giants pennants with this motif, but I think those ones are mid-1970's.

Rob, yes, there is a Trench which dates to 1955-57 with the “orbiting ball” logo and the “TMC” trademark that dates it.

That was exhausting!

Mark mentioned doing a coffee table book, 17 years ago. Well...?

That old thread was a fun read. Mark do you still have that 1939 Baseball Centennial pennant?

Well, I wouldn't place a wager on that one these days (any more than I'd bet on the Reds to win the World Series).

[QUOTE=Fballguy;2470571]Whoa Mark...Top 3 in 2007? Imagine where you rank now?!

Well I have added some nice ones for sure, but also let go of many that were irreplaceable (including that oversized Red Sox that I led off with )

Thank goodness there's no "registry" for pennants, but if there was, I have a feeling that there's a father and son duo from Wisconsin and a super collector from NJ who have surpassed me. Not to mention a dealer/collector from Texas with the jaw-dropping Red Sox collection and a few other guys who prefer to remain anonymous!

Many thanks to Mike K. for finding that! What a fun look back at my first-ever net54 posts.... funny thing is that I'm not much better at posting pics now than I was back then. Hard to believe that was almost exactly 17 years ago!
