I spotted this pretty ordinary shirt while building the Hot Finds and had to scratch my head. What am I missing. This shirt already has a bid that is higher than many other listings that I’ve searched through. What are the chances the seller is shill bidding? If you have ideas as to why its so high please fill us in.
Vintage Early 1960’s Cub Scout Uniform Shirt with Official Pins Patches & Badges
The seller highlighted the circus parade patches, so maybe that was what sparked the high price. The council still issues Baraboo Circus World patches today. This was the winter headquarters of the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus.
i think that was probably inexperienced enthusiasm– the winner, with only 3 transactions, placed both bids shown for the price listed by the seller… i guess he figured it was worth at least that if that was the opening bid… or maybe it was his shirt from long ago… i’d pay that for MY cub scout shirt!
