Rob-
It’s a classic, and looks incredible with the bright Red felt. I think we tend to become too cynical when collecting this stuff. Sure, it’s a common pennant, but the Mullin artwork is super cool, and is one of the best looking Giants pennants ever, IMHO. Same goes for lots of the “Stadium” pennants of the 1950s-60s. Not rare, but artistic and beautiful none-the-less. These types of pennants got me hooked on collecting, and hopefully we will never take them for granted. Great stuff!

I agree 100%. People get way too worked up on collecting what other people have decided is great. The reason we all got in to this hobby is because we thought certain items were cool or remind us of the old days. The most common items can bring back the best memories for me. It’s only my neurotic personality that makes me pick up all the other stuff.
Rob, I always liked that old style Giants style too. Looks great.

Some of the coolest items can be relatively common and affordable. And I'm very glad for that.

Can anyone ID these mini pennants?
Hi Guys:
Please take a look at this ebay listing where the guy has things backwards! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-Of-15-P...p2047675.l2557 The ONLY Post Cereal pennant shown is the Cardinals one fifth down on the left. My question is what are the others? Thanks in advance for your replies. Fred

Agree with all of the sentiments above. As I've collected these over the years, my focus has shifted away from perceived dollar value (though I still like that too)...and towards those that I find "valuable" due to their artwork and/or uniqueness. Some of my favorite pennants didn't cost me more than $50 and in some cases, quite a bit less.
Here are a couple that recently came cheap but are pretty unusual...The Raiders one particularly...in the "1967 Single Bar" style right down to the material it's made of. The Raiders didn't move to L.A. until 1982.

Nice bootleg pennants, Rob. I really like the few early 1980s 49ers bootlegs I have been able to find. They are both rare and rather inexpensive, which makes them fun to hunt.
I also have an similar type of affinity for 1970s/1980s minor league pennants that I can rationalize as fitting in with my collection.

Even though I despise the d**gers (even more than you could ever guess), this pennant caught my eye on eBay. The seller claims it's from the 1959 World Series. Don't know about that, but it does show the Coliseum. I like the colors.

Toronto 1965 Pennant
It’s a bruiser! Any idea what it was celebrating/promoting?

 I think we discussed this red Coliseum pennant earlier. The batter, in particular, we identified as being associated with Trench's pennants from that era. But, while I still believe Trench made this pennant, the rest of the artwork doesn't match the many, many other stadium pennants Trench made in the 1950s and 60s. This Coliseum, in particular, is mostly empty. 92,000 empty seats, that is. Most of Trench's stadium pennants, including a subsequent version depicting the Coliseum with a Willard Mullin bum standing over the field, depict full stadiums--illustrated by a random pattern of multi-colored circles representing spectators. Not here. The only other Trench pennant like this that comes to mind is the San Francisco Giants pennant showing the very same Trench batter standing over an illustration of Seals Stadium. That one, we agreed, looked like it was by Trench; but, again, the ballpark was drawn empty. (I know you own it, so I'll let you post it in your response.) I wonder if maybe the normal Trench artist was on vacation in April of 1958, when I suspect both were made?
