Hey, pennant guys

Thanks! I collect items related to barnstorming, so the Jackie Robinson All-Stars pennant particularly caught my attention as I don't believe I have ever seen one.

Jeff, the 1953-4 JR All-stars pennant is the second one I have seen. I purchased a green one a short while ago and just loaned it to the JR Museum in NY.

I'd love to see a picture. That is awesome!

My Jackie All-Stars collection includes:
- 1946 - A couple of 1946 Bob Feller Tour programs against the Jackie Robinson All-Stars (after Feller and Paige split up at the end of the tour, Feller played a few games against Jackie)
- 1949 - Programs in blue and black ink
- 1950 Broadside
- 1953 - Program. I also have 2 Negro League signed baseballs that based on the signators, I believe originate from this tour. They are two of the only Official Negro League balls that I have ever seen signed by Jackie.

sure Jeff, here you go. I posted a photo before when I bought it, but never a problem showing it again. There were a few other JR barnstorming pennants that listed some of the players names, but i believe this is the only one that is dated. Barnstorming stuff is difficult to find, sounds like you have found some really nice items.

Amazing colors on this pennant, just beautiful …

Only I care about this, but I was able to get closer to completing the set of 1969 ASCO pennants in cloth. I had this but in badly faded condition. Still need Giants, Expos, and A’s (I have these in felt) and could upgrade condition of a few others.

Was able to get down to the National last night but it was pretty dry as far as pennants …

Not surprised. I have been to at least 8 Nationals, and have very rarely made any additions of significance to the collection. I have, however seen a few gems that I ended up winning from auction houses who were simply showing them off (but not selling) at the National.

Great looking pennant. I noticed that the MLB logo on the cloth version is red instead of white on the felt version. Is that consistent across the other cloth pennants from ASCO?

I'm surprised those creases in the paint didn't scare you off. I'm sure an upgrade is now on your wantlist.
