Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter August 13, 2024
I am halfway through my next book club and this time it’s got me thinking about Best Hobby Pages. On the website I give kinda the standard list of a dozen reasons why it’s a great product. But what I lack is a story and that’s what the focus of the book I’m reading is called Building A Story Brand by Donald Miller.
In any story there is a hero, a guide, a problem and some other elements. His book also has some great ideas about building a lead generator and focusing on referrals. So what I need to find are some Best Hobby Pages super fans that I can interview about how they decided to use the product. Having sold tens of thousands of pieces of plastic I assume I know why people choose to store their collections in this system but I’m sure each collector has their own story.
So my ask is that if any of you are a new or long term user of BHP let me know if I can interview you over the phone about the product. I want to hear your feedback and comments about your journey.
In a recent collection I got some military patches from WWII that I am auctioning off. It’s easy enough to ID them using Google Lens (thank goodnees) but understanding the market for these is a mystery. So I listed them at auction and we will see what happens.

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....
