Scout Patch Collectors

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter August 28, 2016

This block includes lots of cool pieces including those Florida OA items pictured below. I’ve got them on my watch list because I love quirky lodge stuff that die hard collectors want to go to war over.

Even I got into the fun at the TOR and picked up some needs that will stay in my collection. The opportunity presented itself to purchase a complete Tsoiotsi Tsogalii Lodge 70 collection and I bit hard. This is a lodge that I had kinda been ignoring since I turned my collection to focus on the earlier pieces. I’ve toyed with the idea of having what you might call a Blue Book I collection. Using the original 1996 book as my checklist and ignoring everything that came after. It’s an idea!

Here is a picture of Dan and Ron going through my dollar boxes like pros. These guys pulled out something like 75 patches that we made a deal on. For the TOR I brought lots of bulk stuff and traded out a Wood Badge folding chair, sold a metal catalog rack (gave another to a Scout) and recycled many patch pages and holders back into the hobby.

Coming up on Tuesday I have some live auctions ending on Jamboree items including many JSP and staff pieces. A few of them are linked in here and you can also go to my eBay store with this link and see a run down of all the live auctions I have that are ending this week. Hopefully when the kids go to school Monday (thank you Jesus) I am going to get more listed to keep it going.
