Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter March 25, 2022

    This week I published my latest unboxing and this one was a little different. I rarely am offered collections that are less than 10 years old. When I am they are usually a parent who's kid was in the program for a skinny minute and they are left with the $100 worth of uniform parts that they invested...Read More

    For better or worse over the last four months I have been piling up small collections that I've purchased in the corner of the office. During that time my focus has been squarely on trying to work through and list the inventory that was already bought and paid for here in the warehouse. So I was letting the...Read More

    In the Friday issue I shared with ya'll that I got a "generalist" collection that has a broad swath of Scouting topics included. Saturday morning I drove down to Augusta GA to purchase a collection from the Midwest that was heavy on local stuff but also included a couple of niches that I can keep for an instant...Read More

    Wednesday I bought a collection that is very different from the ones that I see in my area. Most guys in the Carolinas are heavily focused on OA and a few have advanced camp and council collections. But I don't think I know of anyone that is what you might call a generalist. By that I mean someone...Read More

    I got an agonizing (for me) request recently that some of you can appreciate. Through my strategy of acquiring stuff I have lots of collections come through small and large. Recently I posted some cool camp staff pieces on eBay and was contacted by a Facebook friend that runs an upstart camp museum. He was looking to see...Read More

    Saturday I got to spend the day at the Santee Lodge Spring Fellowship and see some old friends. I was also working on a project to update and finalize a patch checklist for Camp Coker. It's ironic how many issues I didn't realize where issued at the camp and council level over the last five years that I...Read More

    Yesterday, I published a really fun unboxing video that at first I was filming exclusively for my Patreon supporters. But I decided it was the type of video that should be shared with a wider audience because there was stuff in the box I had never seen before. The story of how I got this collection was part of...Read More

    Sunday I filmed a quick unboxing that was a bit nontraditional for me. This box only had 7 patches in it. But five of those were killer needs for my CSP collection that Steve Austin agreed to sell me from his collection. I wanted to share the moment with the readers because in this hobby you rarely get...Read More

    I have a lot of irons in the fire in the patch warehouse and I thought I'd share them with the readers. Some of these are projects that I've already mentioned and a few are new. The update on the sash project is that we are 1/2 through ironing and sorting about 200 OA sashes that I cleaned...Read More

    Several weeks ago it hit me that Matthew Delk would be a great collaborator to help share some patch stories. Matt and I have collected the same areas for 3 decades (he was a mentor for me in collecting other lodges). So yesterday we published the first video in hopefully a series for CarolinaOA.com sharing some BOLO (be...Read More

    Today I'm releasing my latest unboxing video on my website. This one was fun as I had no idea what was coming. The collection was from New York and included about 20 pounds of stuff including patches, neckerchiefs and more. You can see it here on ScoutPatchCollectors.com.   I filmed this video a few months back so I apologize...Read More

    I got home around 9 PM last night from the VA Beach TOR. I had to make a stop to look at a collection on the way home that threw me off a few hours. It wasn't a great collection and it's not available yet but it never hurts to go see what someone has.   I thoroughly...Read More

    I am on the road to the VA Beach TOR. I have one stop over at a coffee shop in North Carolina to buy a small but nice vintage collection from an old timer. My strategy for this TOR is a little different as I am emphasizing really higher value items under frames versus the tub strategy trying...Read More

  I got sunburn in February if you can believe that. Sitting on the beach in a hoodie and sunglasses gave me the classic raccoon tan but it was great and I'll take it. It's good for the soul to sit by a campfire, make a Dutch Oven dinner and see your kid love the outdoors. Now back to the...Read More

  The launch of over 200 first flaps on www.SmartScoutPatches.com earlier this week was a rush. You can still see (for now) the sold items to see what has already moved. The website now has over 500 great OA pieces from his first flaps and odd shapes collection available.   In a few minutes I'm leaving for a camping trip down to...Read More
