What pennant of yours is your favorite, putting value aside, strictly in terms of “eye appeal”?

Not rare but I love the color in these. The fonts are all the same, suggesting the same maker....which is who?

I could use an upgrade on the last one. Bocca has one where the water is actually blue. I've been looking for it. This one has a satin-like spine.

Some great pennants on the thread this week. Love the Texans penannts and the 49er's disply.

I've had a couple of new arrivals this week. The Giants is from the grommet series. Except for some fading to the green color, it's in great shape. It could do with a gentle clean but I'm not willing to risk it.

The Cardinals is a mini pennant but I've not seen it before except in Mike Egner's book.

Love the last Giants pennant. The only SFG I display!

Like I said, Bocca has one with blue (not grey) water. Paging Mr. Boccaccini…

You guys are really bringing it with the pennants. I can't imagine where you're finding all these rarities, but as a pennant guy it's fun to watch.

As you wish.... I think Greg has one of these too, just maybe not on display. It is much tougher to find that the non-blue. Not sure if they were all blue and most faded, or if some were just more blue to begin with.

The one I have displayed in the pic is my “blue” version, though not as blue as yours. And I have a couple that have no hint of blue. So I guess that suggests that maybe they were all made the same way but the color fades easily.

Had this discussion with another board member regarding the color of the grass in Trench stadium pennants. Have seen nearly mint condition pennants with vivid paint colors … except for yellow grass on the playing field. Yet there are some that are deep green. For some reason you see green grass more with White Sox and Cardinals pennants. Were they all made green and it just faded quickly? Who knows …

Look at this rare beauty! Never seen it before!

As far as what to do with the under graded cards, I’m not the guy to ask.

Well, I can assure you that only two TSOG pennants are known to exist. Rarest modern pennant extant.
