    Sunday I filmed a quick unboxing that was a bit nontraditional for me. This box only had 7 patches in it. But five of those were killer needs for my CSP collection that Steve Austin agreed to sell me from his collection. I wanted to share the moment with the readers because in this hobby you rarely get...Read More

    I have a lot of irons in the fire in the patch warehouse and I thought I'd share them with the readers. Some of these are projects that I've already mentioned and a few are new. The update on the sash project is that we are 1/2 through ironing and sorting about 200 OA sashes that I cleaned...Read More

    Several weeks ago it hit me that Matthew Delk would be a great collaborator to help share some patch stories. Matt and I have collected the same areas for 3 decades (he was a mentor for me in collecting other lodges). So yesterday we published the first video in hopefully a series for CarolinaOA.com sharing some BOLO (be...Read More

National Order of the Arrow Conference NOAC Boy Scout Collection Unboxing From Oregon

I don't usually get in many modern collections. But this one from Oregon was one that I made an exception for. A lady who had an antique mall booth out there came across a big collection of stuff from the 2012 & 2015 NOACs including OA flaps and two-piece sets. These are the kinda of items that I can always...Read More

1935 Boy Scout Jamboree Collection Update & eBay Fails

Many people watched my recent video where I got in a 1935 National Scout Jamboree that had lots of nice paperwork. Well as it turns out the couple that sold it me was holding out! They had more stuff and after some back and forth they agreed to sell me the remainder of the collection. So I want to show...Read More

You can see it here on ScoutPatchCollectors.com.   I filmed this video a few months back so I apologize...Read More

    I got home around 9 PM last night from the VA Beach TOR. I had to make a stop to look at a collection on the way home that threw me off a few hours. It wasn't a great collection and it's not available yet but it never hurts to go see what someone has.   I thoroughly...Read More

    I am on the road to the VA Beach TOR. I have one stop over at a coffee shop in North Carolina to buy a small but nice vintage collection from an old timer. My strategy for this TOR is a little different as I am emphasizing really higher value items under frames versus the tub strategy trying...Read More

Blind Boy Scout New York Collection Unboxing 20 Pounds Of Surprises

In this unboxing video you are going to see the generosity of a Scouter who came across my website. After checking me out he decided he wanted to gift me his Scouting memorabilia to make sure it went to someone who would appreciate it. Of course I offered to pay the $50 postage bill but I was blown away by...Read More

  I got sunburn in February if you can believe that. Sitting on the beach in a hoodie and sunglasses gave me the classic raccoon tan but it was great and I'll take it. It's good for the soul to sit by a campfire, make a Dutch Oven dinner and see your kid love the outdoors. Now back to the...Read More

The website now has over 500 great OA pieces from his first flaps and odd shapes collection available.   In a few minutes I'm leaving for a camping trip down to...Read More
