I got into collecting vintage pennants because of Mitchell and Ness. I had about 15-20 pennants from my childhood, bought at Phillies games, they were from the mid 70s to mid 80s. I always liked drawing the logos. Sometime around 1997 I noticed a Mitchell and Ness advertised Super Bowl weekend sale of 50% off items. They did this for a few years. I went in and saw their repro pennants and bought a bunch to decorate the newly renovated basement. In the old store, the owner had original pennants hanging on the walls. Some were nice, like the ‘49 Phillies Blue Jay roster pennant. “Not for sale” I was told. A year or so after that I discovered eBay and I bought a big pile of vintage at a flea market, sold off my repros at the Philly memorabilia show for cheap.
