Hey, pennant guys

[perezfan]

I'd return it, Rick...

Anyone who rolls up a photo pennant has no regard for the item (or for you as the buyer). This guy probably deserves to foot the cost of a return. Plus, it would bug you every time you looked at it (and wondered how long the photo can hang in there).

I know it would bother the heck out of me (if I collected Photo Pennants )

Thanks Mark, it would bug me as well. I was just wondering if there was a glue that works well for this, as it's a shame to ruin the pennant. I was bummed when I saw the small box, especially since he only lives 30 miles from me and charged $15 for shipping. After I got the package, he said flat shipping would have cost $27. I told him that ebay's shipping service doesn't work well for pennants, and that flat shipping with USPS only costs $7-9.

Pennants can't be shipped flat via ebay for under $4.00 if you can keep the weight under 9 oz. Which I do all the time. That's in a soft plastic sleeve obviously, not a rigid one. Drives me crazy when a seller tries to make it sound like they're doing me a favor by charging $10+ for a single pennant.

One other pro tip on shipping pennants...Use a box cutter to cut the cardboard the shape of the pennant. Don't ship rectangular. Why pay to ship all that extra cardboard?

Kyle (Domer05) recently obtained an amazing collection of pennants from California circa 1912-1915. In that collection were these outstanding oversized Santa Clara and St. Mary's (Santa Clara's football and baseball rival) pennants that he made available to me (thank you Kyle!). (we definitely want to encurage Kyle to show some of the other pennants from the collection).
