Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter February 2, 2025
I got as far as Beckley, WV last night in my drive home from the Indy TOR. I dashed from the show quickly on Saturday afternoon and had a picking opportunity in Ohio that went every well. I’ll record a video sharing that story and what I got in my Patreon group – the Scouting Hot Finds Insiders this week.
The Indy TOR did not disappoint. It was interesting to see how many people get to town on Thursday night so they can be in the door early to start Friday off. I enjoyed having conversations with so many people and exchanging some cloth over the weekend. The live auction featured a patch blanket that sold for about $11,000 which was a show stopper.
The folks who run this show have figured things out. They must have run 15-20 rounds of silent auctions so there is no doubt who made the most money off the show. We also paid $12 for a pulled pork sandwich from the host troop for dinner so the locals did very well this weekend.
On eBay I have 239 live auctions running with 80 of those ending tonight. My Sunday night lineup is very diverse with items from all over and many different categories.

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....
