Default The Tattered Faded Worn Pennants Thread

Hi and welcome to the Tattered, Faded, Worn, Stained, or Otherwise Seasoned Pennants Thread! I will refer to these pennants of course by the obvious and catchy acronym TFWSOOSPs.

Anyone who has a TFWSOOSP please post pictures here! I would love to see them!

What exactly do I look for in a TFWSOOP? What makes a great TFWSOOP? I will share my vast experience, as I have been collecting for about a month now, which is probably a month longer than anyone else has collected TFWSOOP, since no one else knew this acronym until now. I will show you a couple of nice ones to start. (I also have some poor ones). The best example I have so far is not a baseball pennant, but a Knicks one, the first pennant I bought. Almost perfect amount of tatter, nice even heavy fading and wear, graphics still crisp and clear, logo is clear and classic, but also is outdated giving it that vintage look.

The other one is a Reds one --pretty nice wear and fade, a bit of nice cracking on the letters, nice font, this one would be a prime TFWSOOP also, but for the unfortunate original design. Why someone thought a splatter design that looks like a giant pile of bird poop landed on the pennant was a good idea I have no idea.

I've been scouring ebay for a month, but TFWSOOPs are hard to find! I guess all you collectors hoard them and they probably mostly only exchange hands in private sales. I would like to see some nice ones if anyone has them, as I'm sure other TFWSOOP collectors would also.
