Yeah, I'm going to try to match them as well as I can. No rush. I know we all have our own pennant characteristics that do or do not drive us crazy. For me the ones that bother me are (in order):

1) flaking paint graphics
2) missing tassels
3) bug damage to the spine
4) bleeding to the spine

If the graphics are flaking, I just can't buy it (unless maybe is is super rare and the price is very low). For the other three, I either need to wait for a decent example or I'm willing to buy a damaged example for an appropriately low price and repair it a bit. They are for me to display. If a pennant is very rare or very valuable, I would not repair it. But most of my pennants don't fall into that category.
