1/2 Million Dollars In Boy Scout “Stuff”

Would you be surprised to know that the Boy Scout category of eBay is still ringing in about $100,000+ in sales each week and in fact in a recent 30-day clip (Nov 14 - Dec 13) the sales topped $500,000+! Now I'm sure there is a lot more to the story as far as which niches are up and down...Read More

The Talk of the Town – Old Camp Patches

I subscribe to Patch-L and there was a lively talk regarding the recent run of old camp patches on eBay that did very well. I want to quote who made an excellent point about why more of us should collect these pieces of memorabilia. "Our emotional attachment to Scouting, in priority order, is almost certainly: (1) our old troop/Scoutmaster/buddies, but...Read More

Professional Scouter Collection 1936 – 1963

I've been very interested in a particular collection that is selling on eBay right now. The collection belonged to Joe L. Ballenger who at one time in the 1930s was a professional in my home council in South Carolina. He also served councils in GA, FL, and finished his career in OH. His great-nephew is now selling off the collection...Read More

ISCA Life Membership Terminated?

  For some reason, I received a cc e-mail from Joe Schloss, a collector from Wyoming who I've worked with at several NOACs, that tendered his resignation from the International Scouting Collectors Association (ISCA) board of directors because of his disagreement about how ISCA Life Membership were being handled.   Essentially, the ISCA board has decided to end the hard...Read More

pre-OA camp honor society????

  Picture at this address also my patch site!   From a friend of a friend!!!   Hello all,   A patch dealer apparently dug out of Baltimore an old neckerchief with the Greek letters PGT on it. I have a scan of the neckerchief if anyone wants to see it (it’s big, like 3 mb). That raised speculation that...Read More

I Found A Good One!

Its been way to long since we had some fun and featured some items that should qualify for a Big Jim Award. For those of you who are have not been initiated into this award a little definition is due. Many times on eBay you can find clueless sellers who have put incredibly ridiculous prices on items. So when you...Read More

Interesting eBay Announcement Regarding Watching

  I got this message from eBay in a recent email and thought this was something to pass on because I had not noticed this change. It seems like this would be an interesting feature because "watching" is one of those hidden and personal activities on the auction site. I wonder what are the four most watched items using this...Read More

What The Heck Do You Do With A Flag?

  I should be one to talk! My attic contains a collection of Scout campfire blankets from around the world. I hope that one day I'll have a patch room big enough to display them, but until then they sit hidden in totes. Still I really am asking the question in this post, what are collectors doing chasing down and...Read More

Jamboree Stocking Stuffer Patches

My in-laws have a great tradition of getting very small presents for each other and sticking them in an oversized stocking hanging from the mantle. Then on Christmas morning the first thing you open is your stocking. I usually can count on a pair of socks, chapstick, some pieces of candy etc. But you know Boy Scout patches are really...Read More

Great Scout Camp Memorabilia

I don't know if I should embarrass myself and admit this but I finally figured out how to use the attachment feature to permanently post a picture in my patchblanket posts. All this time I've been creating an image hyperlink to eBay and when they deleted the thumbnail off their site it disappeared from here as well. Well not any...Read More

Bad Tweets!

  I want to address something that I and another patchblanket member spotted this morning before I get too many more emails about it. This morning on BoyScoutTweet.com there was a very offensive tweet by twisted pornographer. Let me explain how this pulled up on the site and what I'm doing to prevent it from happening in the future.  ...Read More
