Hi Robert,

I got into cards early, as a 5 year old buying '75 Topps. If the company could make '75 Topps wallpaper I'd blanket the house with it. I bowed out when the grading stuff happened and drifted towards pennants, purely for the beauty of them.

Here's my favorite Indians pennant. To think that some kid (now about 75 years old) probably bought this for a quarter, got mustard all over it, and then threw it away ....

Great pennants! Thanks for sharing your experience and your pennants. I am hoping to venture in later this year.

Greg is being very modest...

That's like the only one known to mankind, and is as rare as it is visually stunning. Wish we knew why some pennants are so much rarer than others... but regardless, this one is the "Poster Boy" for that mystery.

Gotta include this emoji as well .... It means I am very jealous
