Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter January 28, 2022
Yesterday I made a Facebook live video to show everyone the results of my trip to Augusta GA this week. I shared the framed art that I brought back including some punch patterns. The other big reveal was a terrific merit badge collection that had 289 pre 1960 merit badges with every few duplicates.
I have collected merit badges passively for about a decade now. So I can speak the language but I have not gone out and purchased individual ones to fill holes. But the two photo albums I got have tons of my needs which is exactly the kind of collection I love to purchase. Today I hope to find time to go through and make a spreadsheet of all the good ones that I pull and cross them off the list.
I have 257 live auctions on eBay this week. Some of the items I brought home Wednesday that were OA just got listed this morning. So far I’ve made back about 1/2 of what I have invested in the collection through Facebook sales so my goal is to get it paid for as quick as possible.
I had another visitor to my warehouse yesterday and bought a North Carolina collection of flaps and conclave pieces from the last twenty years. I am sitting on a mountain of similar stuff and I keep thinking there is a clever way to break the stuff up between online sales, TORs and trading stock. We will see!

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....
