Hey, pennant guys

Hey Joe,

I find if you put the pennant between two thick towels, you can go a little warmer with the Iron. This has worked for me for creases and folds on stiffer pennants.
Hope this helps.

Ok...For the ironing novices...Is a cool iron closer to the "cotton-linen" setting or "synthetic" setting???

I agree with putting it between two towels at a higher setting. Also, if you have an inexpensive pennant to use as practice you may want to use it as a test. If too hot and ironing directly onto the pennant you can singe the back (I know from experience). I would not worry about getting every crease out of the pennant. I think its fine myself. Do the Ames Collegiate pennants fit into the hard plastic sleeves? If so I would think the sleeve will help flatten it out. Nice pennant. Good luck. Adam

Good advice! Practice on a cheapie first. And don't worry about getting every one of the wrinkles out.

I only iron the ones that are borderline eye-sores. Or ones in which the tip is curled like a pig's tail. If you can fit it into a pennant sleeve, that will indeed help flatten it more "naturally".

Here's one that is so very tempting, but I can't quite pull the trigger. Was hoping for free shipping, and he just won't bend off the $2.67...

Oh well... for anyone intending to snipe, I am sorry if I outed this auction

There's another auction going on right now for a '59 White Sox picture pennant, that's how it is described.

It's been reposted a few times. Condition is iffy ... the picture is messed up and it's ... um ... missing the pennant.

That's a crackup... wonder if it would even sell for five bucks?

But in the seller's defense, it is $4,850.00 less than the Cubs Mini Pennant. I suppose that makes it a bargain??

Hi all...I'm going to sell off a few low end baseball pennants and was wondering what I should expect to pay for shipping...assuming I use the standard "sandwiched between two long pieces of cardboard" approach. I buy a lot of pennants but haven't noticed a standard shipping charge...it typically ranges anywhere from $3 to $15. I'm going the "free shipping" route on these so want to choose the most economical method.

Do these have to be sent via Priority mail due to size/weight? The soft felt ones probably have more shipping options than the stiffer, newer ones.

Any thoughts?
