Rob...

That's too funny... Hunt's didn't even picture the better side of the two. Had I seen that reverse side , I might have given you a run for your money. VERY cool/rare pennant.... congrats!

Here's a piece I've been eyeballing for about a decade... and finally landed one! Neat Victorian Napkin Ring dates to the 1880s-90s, with boy holding a Ring Bat and wearing a "Boater Style" Cap...

Boy Mark, that's really sweet!

And Rob, congrats on the pennant. A real killer piece!

Here is a Rod Carew banner pennant that I recently picked up. I am very happy to add it to my collection. I would love to get the similar Harmon Killebrew banner pennant. I have to thank a dealer friend of mine for making it happen.

Nice Carew Banner/Pennant... congrats!

That style is so tough to find. The Twins did some really unique stuff in the mid-late sixties, and that one is a perfect example. Best of luck finding the Killebrew. It may be a long hunt... please let us know if you are able to tack one down!

I think I got a run for my money even without your participation, Mark.

[perezfan]

Yeah... I guess so. Just checked and saw what you paid for it...

It's funny how some of these pennants have been selling by at prices equivalent to 10-year lows. But when one comes along that you really want, seems like it's just as costly as ever to win it.

Anyway, it's an ultra-tough one, and possibly unique. So I still think you did great for what you paid

I just stumbled onto this...

1951 Sporting News Daguerreo Types of Great Stars of Baseball

Should be a lot of fun!

Finally picked up a 1953 Chiefs program...it's been eluding me for a decade...got the bonus Western League managers and ump bios booklet with it..the name at the top indicates it belonged to Jack Hyland who was the radio play by play man for the Chiefs.

Awesome Dan, way to go. I've got one Wichita Indians program to go so I know how tough it can be.

[slidekellyslide]

Only one left to go?? That's amazing. I'm still looking for 1951, 1954, 1956, 1957, 1959 and 1960. I'm not sure if I'll ever find one from 1906-1939 so I don't count those.
