After three weeks and $480 spent I am happy to say the results of my first pennant framing exceeded my expectations. I went with the suede board and the deep shadow box period frame. I love every aspect of this piece and will be painting and reconfiguring my office soon. I hope you all like it. |

Very, very nice Mike. Was the $480 just for the framing or was that the total cost for the pennant and the framing? |

I didn't realize it was that expensive to frame a pennant the "right way". Worth it in the long run for sure, but wow... |

Mike... I don't see how you could have done this any better. It looks gorgeous. The suede matting matches the "Detroit" lettering to a tee, and the black frame really picks up the black felt of the pennant. You found the ideal combination... |

Mark. Thank you again for making this happen. For those who don't know, Mark parted with one of his treasured oversized pennants and I was the recipient of his generosity. |

That's a lot bigger than I had imagined...I can see why it costs so much. That's about the same length as my Lincoln panorama and you just don't realize how long 42" is unless you're looking at it in person. |

Very nice Mike. I could get into pennants like those....What year is it from? Was it from a Detroit championship year? How many known? Let's start a thread about pennants...Mike show some other great ones. |

Hi Carlton. You should definately stay away from pennants...ha ha. The year is unknown, but probably 1910 to 1919. It's the only example I or others I have communicated with have seen. We had a few great pennant threads a while back, but I always love seeing them. If you use the search feature you will find them. |

I love the cane idea Greg. The background is interesting, but I wonder if it would distract. |

Hey, I just picked up an old c1920s carnival cane that has a porcelain or ceramic baseball on top of it. That would be perfect for a pennant. You guys just gave me an idea....thanks. |

I would love to have all of my pennants framed, but it is cost and space prohibitive. |

Mike, that is a beautiful piece that you have there. It looks real sharp. I think items that are custom framed look so good displayed. I have to share a couple of mine that I have. I came up with the design and layout and a company from California did the hard work. The Reese piece is framed with an original photo from 1942 that is one of my favorite items in my collection. The Musial and Williams piece was framed with a wire photo from 1959. |

Great design work and items Todd! You really enhanced every piece and the mixture of images and texture are terrific. That took some real skill on the part of your framer and I'm sure it wasn't inexpensive...ha ha. |

Thanks Mike. No they are not cheap as I think in just those two I have about $750 in framing cost, but I think it is well worth it. |
