Hey, pennant guys

He would do pretty well to get $100 for the pair.

Thanks, Mark. I knew you'd come through! Your opinions pretty much mirror what I was thinking. If I had the picture pennant I'd probably try a little cleaning, because....you know....that's what I do.

edit: does the "starburst" ever have tassels?

I can't recall ever seeing one with tassels. But slight chance I could be wrong. As soon as I definitively say that it never had tassels, somebody will post one here!

I see we blew right past 3 million views. There are cat videos that don’t have that many!

It's not easy keeping up with Bocca but all I can do is try. The pink one is new. The gold and orange underneath are presumably older. The felt is softer and the detail is better. The pink is a bit stiffer (not terrible) and the graphics are not as crisp. These tips are good...piled together, they took on a blunt look. There are others on orange felt that are very stiff and the graphics are like a black blob. I kind of like these pennants - they're a unique design with the cheering people, the bridge and the steamer ship. I think Bocca has like eight variations!

When the graphics are bad, it makes me think of Mays. Left-handed Mays being worshiped by Lilliputians.

Mays?

I was being 23% serious.

Question for Kyle or anyone else with an informed opinion: how many pennants could be produced from a single screen before the screen wore out? I’m aware multi colored pennants used separate screens for each color (right?) but my same question applies. Also, were there improvements in screens over the years that would allow them to last longer?

Great questions right there... I have often wondered the same!

Timely, Rob....

I just heard yesterday, that Octo-Mom's kids are all grown up now.
