SHF Radio: How’s the Patch Biz Chris Jensen?
As a Scouting memorabilia dealer for over three decades Chris Jensen has seen a lot of the changes in the hobby. He was one of the first big sellers of Boy Scout memorabilia when eBay launched and remembers the good old days when he couldn’t list stuff fast enough. In part 2 of my interview with Chris we talk about eBay and its changing fortunes in the hobby. The conversation then turns to Trade-0-Rees a subject that Chris knows quite a bit about! He shares the three reasons that people attend TORs. Finally I ask him to share the story of Boxware his most famous product in the hobby.

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
