Whoever won this one might consider paying you a handsome sum to perform your "felting needle magic". Can't imagine a better candidate, if the right color burgundy wool could be obtained. I am normally against restoration, but this one could really benefit from the "felting" procedure.

Great job on the A's Pennant, BTW!
Despite the graphics being in good shape, I was a little surprised at price this pennant received. Granted it’s rare, but that’s a lot of damage. If restored and then sold again, even though I collect Cubs pennants, I would not be interested. Curious how others feel.
