Uh,I missed it....but I still fly 48 & 49 star flags pretty much daily. They are made better and it's not against the flag code in any way. My 50 star flags simply wore out or stained too easily.
7 layout flags on 4 out of 8 layouts, the Christmas, carpet central, micro-tv, and N don't have one..... yet The 4.5x9 has three 50 star versions.. and two 12"x 20" (ish) drapped on the plain side of the backdrop on either side of a view space between them.
