Step Right Up and Get Your Instant Patch Business Right Here

Probably a year ago I did a post on this site regarding eBay fee changes that I thought would make it near impossible for sellers to continue to run very large stores on eBay. In that post I mentioned eBay seller Kindanic (John Wallace) because for some time he has had the largest eBay store in the Boy Scout category...Read More

Grandpa Had One Heck of a Trophy Banner

I had the trophy banner in the Hot Finds and if you saw it there you might be curious to see how it ended up. Turns out the seller answered some questions from bidders and the banner belonged to his grandfather who was apparently a professional Scouter. I don't know much about khaki and red 1/2 strips but it looks...Read More

Insignia Bling Bling

The headliner in this group - the Merit Medal is solid gold. No really it is! The seller claims he could have turned in the 25 grams of 10k gold for $400. I'm glad (and so is he) that instead he offered it up on eBay because it was one of the best auctions that collectors have seen in the...Read More

The Best Handbooks I Never Saw

In order to make the cut auctions have to have at least 1 bid to get placed in the Hot Finds.

In researching closed auctions I stumbled upon these rare Scout handbooks that were sold by TSPA. I...Read More

How Do We Water the Patch Bug?

  I have a question for the group but first a shout out is due. I received in the mail this week a draft copy of the SR-5 Pocket Flaps Guide being written by Hank Birdsong.

You might be surprised just how high some of these went. These mixed lots came from a variety of sellers but when you click...Read More

Uniforms Worth Saluting

I had the Sea Scout jumpers listed in a recent Hot Finds newsletter and I figured they would make a great topic for a blog post considering its been nearly five months since I've posted anything on the site. I have some help now at Hot Finds HQ so my time should be freed up a little more now to...Read More

Awesome Sea Scout Insignia Drawing 4 Figures on eBay

Rare 1916-1924 Sea Scout Khaki Jumper with Patches Its been way too long since I posted on Patchblanket so I'm going to ask the experts to tell us what this patch is? The jumper is over $2,000+ on eBay right now and I figure it will go higher.

The Phenomenon that was the Patch of the Day

Ok so here is an easy trivia question. What was the most in demand set from the 2010 National Jamboree? Well we all know the answer to that question. But do you have any idea how many of these sets sold or just how high were bidders willing to go to bring it home? I've done some elementary research and...Read More
