Campaigning to be added to more do not sell lists, I see.

Of course, he could always just come on here and lie about a pennant you sold him too, as has been proven. Tread lightly if you dare venture down his rabbit hole. He's a fun suck and not worth the hassle IMO.

BTW...Back so soon?

Quickly realized that one dishonest degenerate is not enough of a reason to keep me away.

And you make a good point, so yes, for all sellers, please DO add me to your “do not sell” list if you knowingly sell altered items without disclosing the alteration. Especially if you did the alteration yourself. Thank you!

Ok, so not exactly the most exciting pennant, but I bought this white Astros pennant from someone who said it had been rolled up for 30+ years. It is still a bit rolly (I'm sure it will adjust over time), but it is about white as I've ever seen for one of these. So many Astros pennants are grungy/having foxing/bug damage from being in the humid Houston area.

Nice. Having been rolled in storage is what kept it from yellowing. These and the Colts pennants with the circular logo are the only ones I know with that copyright inside the logo.

And yes it is interesting how those early Astros and Colt 45 pennants have moth eaten spines .... very hard to find one that is not damaged or even nipped a little. Never considered that it might be weather related.

Pretty sure at this point you don�t need to request that.

For the sake of this thread and everyone on it, I�ll let you have the last word. Have at it.
