Yesterday on a random Saturday in the fall we had 5 people working at the warehouse! Some of that was because Friday was a scratch day with Charlotte getting the impact of the hurricane through the morning. But still my son needed to get his monthly work hours in (gotta pay for that cell phone) and we needed to get...Read More

Unboxing 55 Pounds of Scouting Memorabilia Reveals Century Old Museum Quality Eagle Scout Scrapbook

For two years I had these three boxes of Scouting memorabilia sitting on a shelf in my warehouse. The boxes had been there so long I seemed to remember I needed to film an unboxing but had honestly forgot what was so special about the collection. In real time as you watch this video you will see the moment when...Read More

I really can't make this up! For two years on the bottom shelf of a room in my warehouse sat three boxes from a collection I purchased. I knew that there was some good stuff there and it deserved the effort to film and publish an unboxing video. But I honestly forgot the unicorn item in among the 55 pounds...Read More

I thought I'd share a picture from the warehouse that I took last week after cataloging all the unlisted inventory that is ready to be photographed. I'm sure in every business you have been in there are a string of processes for how things are done. So in my warehouse we have implemented this card system whereby each card corresponds...Read More

  This weekend I bit off more than I could chew. Leaving Charlotte at 6 AM I headed to central GA to view and purchase a collection. That all went well. But my next stop took me into the heart of an Atlanta suburb. I could see the traffic picking up. But still that 2nd stop was successful and I...Read More

  Yesterday I published a new unboxing video that includes items from a Baltimore collection. But one of the jewels found in the box was over a dozen teens era merit badges in great condition. The pillow case full of patches was also fun to go through!   I am settling into a routine of having one unboxing each week....Read More

100 Year Old Boy Scout Merit Badges In This Unboxing

I can't tell you how a collector in Maryland ended up a batch of pristine mint 100 year old merit badges but in this unboxing you will get to see them. Although he was doing his Scouting in the Baltimore area there is stuff from all over that ended up in this Boy Scout collection. I worked with the family...Read More

How Scoring An Awesome eBay Boy Scout OA Vigil Sash Auction Win Helped Me Fulfill My Mission

Over the course of weeks in a resellers Book Club (shout out Libby!) I wrote the Mission for my 20+ year old business that was sparked by my boyhood passion for collecting Scouting memorabilia. Our mission is to preserve Scouting history and memories by recycling memorabilia back into the movement and embracing new Scout patch collectors. We aim to grow...Read More

  A few minutes after hitting send on this newsletter I'm going to film a Facebook live for my Patreon Group the Scouting Hot Finds Insiders. I don't talk about it very much here in the newsletter but for a few years now I've had this as an option for anyone who wants to peek behind the curtain.   Every week...Read More

  If all goes to plan I will be stopping by that ATL TOR for a few hours on Friday night September 20. If anyone would like to order Best Hobby Pages I can offer free delivery on your order. I will be leaving the show by 630 PM so it's a narrow window that I can deliver. My kids parents weekend...Read More

  Today I have a very special unboxing of some Holy Grail items for my collection. But the real story here is that these two items fit right into my Mission and Vision for my business. The story I share in the video helps explains why I've spent over two decades building this business.   So as TOR season really...Read More

  I don't know about making a trip to the Northeast this fall but I do have one planned to Atlanta on Friday Sept. 20. This one is in conjunction with the Atlanta TOR which I have not visited in many years. I've got two collections to go look at and thought I could swing back through the TOR for...Read More

  So I am sometimes contacted by people like you that have great Scout collections and are at the point that they want to let someone else have it. You've read about me getting on airplanes and otherwise trying to chase down collections. But I've been talking to a guy out in CA and the amount of stuff he has...Read More

  I know many of the readers set their eyes on collection needs as you scour the Internet for deals. I on the other hand practice one of the laws...a Scout is Thrifty! I've spent a lot of effort this week sourcing deals on office supplies. I was thrilled to get thermal printing rolls for less than $1 each. I...Read More
