Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

Fballguy and I had a few beers in Houston last night and he made these pennants (and a few others) available to me. All very rare. Excited to add them to my collection.

Had a great time! And the beers softened the blow of saying goodbye to these babies. They'll look great on your walls Marc!

Thanks for all the help with getting google photos set up. It really was as easy as 1,2,3, lol. Now the million dollar question... how do I share it with the group so everyone can see it?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

In your album, click the icon circled below. You'll then see an option to "copy link". Just copy it and paste it into your message here.

I should've mentioned in my earlier post...I am "culling my herd" of pennants a little (primarily baseball). If anyone sees any that pique their interest, let me know. Would rather see them go to the diehards here than people I don't know.

Fballguy,

I'm interested in your 1940 tiger pennant.

Always looking for variations, upgrades or any Tiger pennants that I need for me collection.

[bocca001]

Nice Tigers collection!

I really like the very 70s Mark Fidrych pennant.

Great stuff, Stephen!

Great stuff Marc...

I’ve been trying forever to find that last 49ers Pennant. Both of those are so rare! Good thing you Guys live close together, to avoid the P.O. right now!

Those must have lightened your wallet a bit!

Money well spent. And it saved me from the dilemma I was having about whether or not to bid on this pennant with some pros (rare, good graphics) and cons (tip, tear, damaged tassel, and two spines?). I didn't bid. It sold for north of $500.

Does anyone know of another dated Giants or Yankees pennant from 1951?

I do not. But luckily I found my Cinderella Boys in NRMT condition for under $300. One of the rare times I didn’t overpay.

Now that I own one, I'm curious to hear more about what anyone knows about the "Champions" grommet pennants. Greg has some and we have talked about this a bit. Based on my understanding, there are similar style St. Louis Cardinals and Browns pennants with a 1939 date and "Champions" pennants dating back to at least 1919 (I think). But no Champions pennants with dates later than 1939.

Does anyone know if each of these champions pennants has more than one known copy? Or is each unique?

I also wondered if they were not somehow tied to the 1939 baseball centennial. Perhaps they were part of a display somewhere? Maybe in St. Louis given the Cardinals and Browns pennants with the 1939 date.

If you have one or have a picture of one, I'd be interested in seeing it. I hear that there is a 1919 Black Sox version somewhere. Anyone have a picture of it?

It was in Halper. If you have access to a Sotheby's Catalogue, you can easily find it. Or perhaps there is an on-line version of the Halper Catalogue that can be linked here?

Here is my counterpart to your Giants... 1936 Yankees. Please excuse the camera flash and sideways image.

Never seen another...

Here’s a photo of the Halper version.
