Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

That is a nice copy of that Oliers AFL pennant, Greg. As you probably know, it is not super rare, but finding one in great condition isn't easy.

Here is my other recent Houston purchase. I already had the Black version. Glad to add this bold Orange version.

And Greg's post about the Oilers had me searching through the completed ebay listings (why do I do that?) and I noticed this rare "atomic" style (I've never see it before) Giants 1960s/1970s pennant that sold as a BIN before either Ooribay or I could get to it : (

Very cool Giants pennant for the era. The only other team I've seen using those baseballs "orbiting" around the Cap is the Phillies. I know the Astros 1960s-70s Logo used something similar as well (but without a Cap).

Gotta be rare... hope you can find one!

I have an A’s version as well. And I recognize the background in the Giants pic as belonging to a fellow Net54er...our good friend Erik C. This one sold pretty quickly if I’m remembering correctly.

Great memory, Rob. Yeah, that's correct. It sold very quickly which made me wonder if I priced it too low! Egner purchased it (hope that's okay to mention). I go back and forth about auctions vs. buy-it-now. I rarely ask this group if interested - it's a good reminder to do so.

Looks like that pennant was snapped up within 20 minutes of being listed. I'm guessing JR may have grabbed it, he seems to actively search for good deals and grab them very quickly. You might try contacting him, he would probably flip it to you but the price might be kinda high.

That pennant with the orbiting baseballs was made for a bunch of teams actually, I think they are early to mid 70s. All of the ones I’ve seen are stiff felt. Here’s an Expos and Braves without the baseballs but seemingly from same maker.

Are you referring to the Giants or the Oilers?

Sorry, meant the Giants. Haven’t checked on the Oilers pennant.

The Oilers sold in 11 minutes to JR.

Ahhh...11 minutes? He must've been asleep at the switch. I've seen him strike faster than that.

About the blue Oilers, it does look dark. It's always hard for me to tell how different these things are sometimes based on picture quality.

How do you see who the buyer was on these items? (I know there is someway to at least look at the feedback number).

I tried to contact JR through ebay. We'll see what happens. If it was Erik who sold it, I feel kind of bad because I would have paid him more.

Interesting ... my guess was that the color was super duper rare. I see it much more often in light blue.

Cool pickup with the orange Colts. They have great pennants. We’re taking about trademarks .... this brings to mind that Houston was one of the first to trademark their own logo; same with Astros. Referring to the little circled C inside the design, in the Colts it is to the right of the right gun handle and Astros at very bottom. .
