Speaking of bins ... finally found the perfect-sized shelves so I don't have to stack them all on top of each other, also a perfect fit under the pool table ...

At least you don't have the Giants and Dodgers together.

That’s some great organization. 👍

I’m so jealous of you guys and your “bins.”

Greg and Mark - what size are your bins? I may need to buy one….maybe even two!

The first team page on FeltFootball.com to reach 100 pennants belongs to...the New York Giants...thanks to this rarity.

Per the Dec 23, 1966 issue of Time Magazine...

Then there was New York's Allie Sherman. Last week, as he gazed around Yankee Stadium, what to his wondering eyes should appear—blue-and-white pennants, thousands upon thousands of them, all emblazoned "Goodbye Allie." The fans even put the words to music with a roaring choir to the tune of Goodnight, Ladies. This never bothered Sherman; he told reporters that his pro philosophy was "They paid their money, and can do what they want," and joked that he owned the rights to the banners and song and made a fortune in royalties.

Perfect size for two stacks inside

Thanks, Greg. I need to take some measurements where I might be able to stash one.

Since it's Super Bowl Sunday and all...

Watching this badly faded, early 1970s (not 1960s as described) Raiders pennant eclipse $2,000 got me to thinking. What is the early 1970s baseball equivalent? If there is one, I've never seen it. I'm not sure I've seen a 1970s baseball pennant sell for more than $200-$300...if that.

Then I got to thinking...If we listed the 10 most valuable pennants of the first half of the 20th century, they'd all be baseball. No surprise there. But what if we listed the 10 most valuable pennants of the second half of the 20th century. Would they all be football? The rise in popularity of football is attributed to the 1950s and often to the "Greatest Game Ever Played", but has anyone ever noticed that's where the pennant value tipping point occurs too?

What are the baseball pennants post say 1956 that approach $2000 in value? The only that come to mind would be the 3D pennants but are those post 1956? Below are the early bookends to big money football pennants with the Raiders above likely the modern one. I know there are multiple factors that play into this but it's still very interesting to me that if you're talking big money pennants of the last 70 years, you're largely talking about football pennants.

^^^ The seller, who has been around forever, described the color as “very bright.” He also charged $32 shipping.

For post war baseball pennants there's a number that would sell for over $1,000. The Mickey Mantle ASCO Photo Pennant comes to mind and the 1955 World Series tassel pennants, 1972 Clemente Memorial, Willie Mays, etc.

The selection grows a lot in the $500+ range, depending on the condition of course. Not all pennants are as bright as that 1970s Oakland Raiders penannt But a number of the ASG and World Series pennants would cross the $500 threshold and possibly the Koufax ASCO photo pennant.

Appreciate you listing. I’ve been looking for a way to store my pennants too that are sitting on top of a shelf. Looks like a great solution.
