These are a softer felt and the graphics are painted but with a rubberized texture so it doesn’t crack. Very strange.
One of the very early posts on this thread shows a beautiful Twins version from this series, might guess there are more of those around since ASCO was in MN.

Yeah, I can see the rubberized texture if I zoom in.
The fact that the MLB trademark is
not super-sized makes me rethink my theory of the maker using 30” silk screens, somehow enlarged. Remember the overhead projectors from elementary and high school? That, or something similar, was the 1969 kind of “technology” I was thinking they might use to draw a new screen.
We may never know….but knowing the obsessive nature of some of us pennant guys, we just might!
