Here is a Cubs version (not mine). I've also seen Pirates. Very strange series. For the Giants, it seems to be the last use of the left-handed batter used by Trench for so long.

Noticed something. These weird “everything is Vet Stadium” pennants use the same graphics in the body of the pennant as the 1969 ASCO pennants. Here’s my Mets pennant with the ASCO version below it. Also the Cubs which matches the one you posted. Same with SAN FRANCISCO if you compare to your orange cloth ‘69 Giants. The cookie cutter stadium first appeared … when? Busch? These are all cloth, with cloth spine, possibly 1967-68, who knows. They don’t seem like ASCO quality.

Good pickup, Eagle Eye. Although my moth eaten Busch pennant and the ASCO are not quite identical.

Interesting … yours is felt, too. Yeah it’s not exact as if they used the same screen, can even see differences in the Mets pennants. But it’s the same general design.

Read description, and zoom in on the spine.

He pulled it, which is good.

Someone posted this maroon 49ers miner pennant on facebook a few months ago and I've been hunting it down ever since. It arrived today, from Canada. Glad to add it to the group. It's the first maroon version I have ever seen.

Beautiful Niner pennants. One of the coolest pennants in any sport. Especially nice to get it with bold graphics.

Marc, take a close look at the rear stitching on the second one from the bottom in your pic. Am I right that this is different than the others, almost like a double stitch?

That pennant and two of mine are like that, they also have graphics that are less sharp. You can even see it in the letters. I would think knock-off … except that one guy sold off a bunch of 3/4 size pennants that were similar and he bought them all in an old Trench box. More mysteries.

On another note, when I first used eBay there were a TON of mint 3/4 Trench football from the mid 1960s. Like there was a huge find somewhere. Now you never see them.

Would you say the body of the pennant was “good”?

It’s actually back up, but without the description. The seller seems like a decent guy. It just looks very new to me.

Even though the baseball looks like a basketball, at least the felt is triangular.

The Pirates (and thus the Braves) appear to be of the same maker as these, by virtue of similar fonts:

Can't thank you enough for changing the theme back to triangular pennants.

Those die cut "center dowel" creations were starting to depress me. Especially the disturbing and creepy Philadelphia Phillis Sextuplets.

That's a cool Pirates pennant. I've seen maybe 4 from the rare series, but yours is the first Pirates. Must've been made in very limited quantities. Would love to find a Reds version some day.
