I ordered the frame, but did the backing and assembly myself. The photo makes the joint more noticeable than it looks in person.
Looks great!

I agree with everyone else. It looks great Marc.

Does the suede backing prevent the pennant moving?

Yes, the suede mat holds the pennant in place.

There are a number of framed pennants in the current Hunt auction. Some are clearly attached to the backing with some kind of thread. See the attached pic (to the right of the 1924). It seems like that method doesn't hold things in place all that well, leads to some puckering, and also could damage the pennant. I'm not sure what the other options are (tape?).

I used my one last scrap, made some no room for error cuts with an exacto knife, and was able to get the seam in the mat under the spine. Now I just need to find some wall space.

The two things that really hold me back are lack of wall space and of course money. Other than that I would go crazy. 😁

Maybe the blue Painters Tape? I would never use any tape/adhesive that's more intrusive or "stitch" a pennant to the mat.

I much prefer to apply gentle pressure of the glass/acrylic... just enough to hold the pennant in place without inflicting any damage. I've never incurred one iota of damage (doing it the same way as your Oversized Giants) for the past 35 years.

From the “Companion Pieces” thread…

Were these just someone else’s pennants? WGN’s maybe?

Whoa.... I don't know anything about this distributor; but, the full size pennants featured are both by ADFLAG.

Not sure about the minis ... but, ADFLAG would make sense.

For just $40 (maybe cheaper?), a 40” poster toploader can give you two oversized holders.

Looks like the Walter Johnson went for a cool $11k. If that doesn’t include the BP, you can add another $2k.

Thanks, Rob. That seems pretty much in the ballpark, maybe even a little low for such an extreme rarity with such significance.
