Weekend Recap – What Made the June 11-13 Hit List?

I've been taking a slightly different direction on this eBay blog in recent weeks. I've gotten away from daily Top-3 lists and have tried to look for a fresh way to report on the Boy Scout category. Today I'm trying a new idea. I'm calling it the Weekend Recap. Basically, we all know that traditionally the best auctions are 7-day...Read More

Hot Medals Burning Up The Auction Blocks

One of the bigger stories coming out of the Boy Scout category of eBay this week was the string of really strong award medals that sold at auction. In fact three different listings went for $1k or more including the Air Scout Ace that sold north of $7,000! Now that doesn't happen every day in our hobby! The lifesaving medals...Read More

Gold Eagle Scout Medal for sale – $15,000

Gold Eagle Scout Medal - Only Known Example   I remember reading back in 1982 that the 1 millionth Eagle Scout Alexander Holsinger received a gold Eagle Scout medal, the only other person than Dan Beard who received a gold Eagle medal.

Bizzaro World BigJim

This is not exactly what we have called a BigJim on patchblanket but kinda the opposite of that. Instead of an auction that is way overpriced and nobody bids on it we have an auction that sold for way more than anybody thinks it's worth! Therefore, I'm asking for opinions on why this lot sold as high as it did!...Read More

The jury found the BSA 60% negligent, Cascade Pacific Council 15% negligent and the LDS Church 25% negligent. And there are still five more plaintiff suits pending in the same case.   Is it too much? Did the BSA have it coming to...Read More
