Hey, pennant guys

That 49ers pennant is way cool. I�m starting to appreciate the 50s FB pennants more and more. Namely the Trench pennants that resemble the baseball pennants from the era ... like the Cardinals simply switched out the bat for the baseball. Those are simple, elegant looking pennants and they came in so many neat colors.

For me, the issue was the color that had leeched into the spine. I had this happen on a pennant that I tried to clean recently (red leeched when I applied just a bit of water). Red 49ers, white spine. I can't get the red out of the spine and the fabric is so soft that trying to clean it is clearly damaging it. It wasn't a super-rare pennant and it was one of those that the price was right for taking a chance.

I thought Rob's bid would get this one for sure. I was willing to go about $200 (maybe $250), and I tend to be competitive for 49ers pennants.

But I've also run into a few 49ers pennants that go $600-$1,000. Like the one below. A bit much for me. And the 49ers runner and punter pennants go for $500+, when I see some for other teams in the $150 range (I think a Steelers one just sold in that range).

I know that the 49ers aren't quite at the level of the Raiders, but it does seem like 49ers pennants are less common than many teams.

I did win this one though. It just arrived and is pretty nice shape.

Nice pickup, Marc.... One of my favorite series of pennants, and love it with the green felt. Congrats!

That looks like a �one off� kind of pennant i.e. not part of any �series.� Yes?

Actually, I believe we determined this pennant came from the "Player-in-the-name" series discussed a few months ago; and, we believe it to have been produced by the WGN Flag Co. of Chicago.

Greg owns 15 of the 16 pennants from that series ... just needs the St. Louis Cardinals one, I believe.

That was certainly my understanding as well.

Correct. I don�t think this is a knockoff but an earlier WGN. I�ve seen the Cubs and Phillies versions with tassels also.

I think Rob was referring to the 49ers pennant Marc pictured.
