Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

So, I got lucky enough to get connected with a Giants collector who is downsizing his collection. I was able to pick up these four rare Giants pennants. I'm especially excited about the Orange pennant depicting Seals Stadium.

Great pennants Marc! I especially like the picture pennant.

Which brings me to another question for the collectors here… Does anyone know why some teams don't have any picture pennants from the 60s? I can think of two general styles although there are a few I've seen which are isolates knockoffs. Anyway I don't think I've ever seen a Cubs picture pennant, only one Mets before '69 ... no Red Sox either. Has anyone else?

I am personally trying to complete a Phillies "set" from 1960-69 ....

I don't know, Greg. In my experience, some of the 1970s picture pennants seem to be pretty rare, but command little money (less than more common logo pennants). I just picked up this 1978 Astros team pennant. Or, from my Giants collecting perspective, a Bruce Bochy rookie pennant.

Here's a rare (at least to me) 1970's picture pennant I picked up recently.

I'm not sure that there could be a more 1970s pennant than that. Pretty cool.

I swear that picture pennant used to belong to me! The "pinback ring" in the lower left is the giveaway. Small world!
