Scout Patch Collectors

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter September 1, 2015

I must be doing something right. I got two boxes in over the weekend from people I’ve done business in the past looking to sell me stuff. It’s always nice when people send stuff on preview. I am not buying huge collections these days but I’m always looking for new stuff.

I am setting up an 8′ table in the garage tomorrow night to start organizing some new frames for the fall. My work space in my home office is still recovering from NOAC so I need to start fresh with a place to organize and label. First up is sorting my merit badge needs against a group that was sent to me by a friend in the upstate. Next up will probably be OA names/numbers.

I don’t know if the Wab book below is a reprint or the real deal. I’m not sure I have an original edition myself. I did however get another copy of the Arapahoe with the most recent collection I got in. I can never get enough of these resource books. The other night I was reading Prince Watkins book from the late 1970s cover to cover.

We had our Girl Scouts parents meeting tonight at the church. It looks like it’s going to be a strong year. We have five camping trips planned between now and May including a trip to the Outer Banks of NC to see the ponies. The girls have been after us to take that trip for a few years so next spring we will punch that ticket.

The good thing about running so many live auctions is it does draw eyes into my eBay store which has 9,000+ fixed priced listings waiting. You can always see what I’ve got by going to the website address www.Patchblanket.com.
