Boy Scout Manuals & Paper Highly Collectible

There is no signature in Scouting more well known than that of Green Bar Bill Hillcourt. The handbook that he signed that came in #3 on this list is actually the same edition that I started out on when I crossed over into Boy Scouts in 1984. Of course when it comes to books condition is everything and I think...Read More

Order of the Arrow Lodge Flaps & More

Its very rare that I make one of my own top 5 lists. As always there was good OA selling on eBay last week and two of these listings came from the santeeswapper. What's interesting is that I found four auctions to feature which all received just one bid. The Nentego bucked that trend and pulled in multiple bids. Item...Read More

World Jamboree: The Old & The New = All Good

There were a couple of really good prewar World Jamboree issues that sold on eBay last week and I wanted to be sure to highlight them on the blog. All of the auctions I've got featured here were competitive listings that went for big money. Its sorta strange to put the brand new 2011 issues in with these vintage pieces...Read More

Eagle Scout Medals & Patches Flying High On eBay

Many collectors have an affinity for old Eagle medals and patches even if that is not their bread and butter collection. Especially for those of us who earned the Eagle rank as a youth (present company included) we really can appreciate these classic pieces of Boy Scout insignia. I've pulled up five auctions from last week on eBay that did...Read More

Big OA Blanket & Other Scouting Memorabilia Lots

I am probably going to do a separate blog post just featuring these great OA blankets out of IL but for today I'll include this whopper in with some other nice mixed lots that sold last week on eBay. The other interesting group that has a story is the lot of 45 lodge flaps. Those of you who have been...Read More

OA Flaps, Pies, Odd-shapes…Well You Get the Idea

A quick look at last weeks top OA auctions includes a little bit of everything. The first three items up are from TSPA and were part of a large group they have been selling on eBay recently. I'm always surprised when a relatively new issue makes these top lists but if there is any doubt you should see what the...Read More

Old Boy Scout Merit Badge Sashes Come With Surprises

One of the best thing about searching on eBay and looking at old merit badges sashes is that some of them have bonus material. Back in the day many Scouts would sew (or their mother's would sew) camp and activity patches on the MB sash. Some of these camp patches were treated like awards and so it seemed like a...Read More

Boy Scout Camp Patches Lighting Up eBay

There are fewer items in the hobby that people are more passionate about then their home camp. I know in my area people count early camp patches as the crown jewels of their collections. For this reason its neat to see when others fill in big needs on eBay by winning a bidding war for a classic Boy Scout camp...Read More

Boy Scout Memorabilia That Only A Mother Could Love

Ok so my title is a little harsh but what I'm trying to feature in this blog post is the collectible items that sell for great $$ in the Boy Scout category that are a little more unusual. You won't find any felt patches or medals with sterling silver birds hanging on them in this blog post. Instead I've highlighted...Read More

Boy Scout Memorabilia For Sale: Top 5!

It was a big week for old timers from the OA lodge in Riverside, California. Tahquitz Lodge 127 which later merged to become Cahuilla 127 pulled off an unusual feat by claiming the top 2 spots in the Boy Scout category of eBay. Not surprising it was the boys from TSPA who had these killer OA pieces and with just...Read More

Up Up and OA

If you ever see modern patches from Yokahu 506 on eBay then you know those boys that collect Puerto Rico really like their patches. Kinda reminds me of a lodge a little closer to home for me - Wahissa 118. So what would a 1950s issue sell for? I've got you covered with the link below. The other OA auctions...Read More

Gotta Love The Old Insignia

Every week on in the Boy Scout category of eBay you can find some really nice old pins, medals and awards. These are really the classic Scouting collectibles before they started putting gold mylar on patches and only selling them to FOS donors or delegates to OA events. As you can see by the number of bids there is plenty...Read More
