Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter February 16, 2025
Over the weekend I published this week’s unboxing video which features a 31 pound box of memorabilia from an upstate NY collection. There is a bunch of Canadian items in the collection as this guy did a lot of cross border trading. Almost miraculously the weight of the box was not made up of books or mugs – hint you will have to watch the video to see.
I had a visitor in the warehouse this weekend. It’s not often that I get them but a fellow collector was in town to visit family and we made plans to meet up. He also has a warehouse space and we had good conversations about different parts of running a business and our hobby.
This coming weekend I’ll have plenty more opportunities to talk shop at the VA Beach Trade-O-Ree. John Ortt sent out an email yesterday assuring everyone that the mid-week bad weather will not affect the show. I have a lot of Scouting friends in the hobby that attend this show and I try and always make it when the family calendar allows. It’s held at a nice location and the Saturday morning breakfast is terrific.
On eBay I have over 200 live auctions with a big batch of those ending tonight. This run features many Jamboree JSP sets along with a nice Pellissippi collection and more.

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....
