Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter November 12, 2021

  Earlier this week I published a Top 10 video for the month of August 2021. What I decided to do here was turn things around and this time rank the items according to the number of bids. This resulted in some unique listings making the cut. You can see the videos and find which items made the Top 10 here....Read More

  Later today I've got a couple of videos that I'm going to post. One is a Top 10 video featuring items that sold in August.

  Friday while working in my antique mall booth I bumped into an older guy that runs a unique business. He does house clean outs which lends itself to accumulating lots of stuff. He offered to let me get a bunch of magazines from him but also let slip that he had a couple truck loads of albums. I know...Read More

  This week I finally got to focus on listing more items in my eBay store. Specifically, I listed hundreds (like 500+) belt buckles, neckerchief slides, coins and all the other 3D kinda items that I have been sitting on for way too long. You can find it all at my Patchblanket eBay Store.   Not long after getting today's issue...Read More

I am going back this Friday to take enough restock to fill every nook and cranny.   Today I listed for perhaps the first time over two...Read More

Triple Boy Scout Collection Unboxing Including Philmont, Jamboree and lots of cloth

Coming home from summer camp I had several collections bought and paid for but unopened in the corner. The fun part about unboxing three collections at once was seeing the similarities between all of these with some hidden surprises. You can see the common themes were Scouts going to the Jamboree (whether it be the World or National) and of...Read More

Holy Grail Order of the Arrow Collection Flap

It's not very often that you get the top item on your needs list in the Boy Scout memorabilia collection hobby! I really started focusing on organizing my Order of the Arrow flap collection in the last year. During that time I was able to get some key needs and got things down to about 10 key needs. Now I've...Read More

Boy Scout memorabilia booth at Sleepy Poet Antique Mall in Charlotte NC

    This weekend I was able to attend the Santee Lodge fall fellowship and get two more nights under the stars at Camp Coker. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing old friends and having lots of conversations about Scouting and catching up with people. The lodge inducted over 30 new members with Brotherhood and Vigil ceremonies also taking place.   The...Read More

  Yesterday I spent the day picking two collections that were within an hour drive of my house. On one of those I learned quite a bit about how probate works and got a good reminder of why we all need a will. In this case a ladies first cousin passed away in FLA with no will and no natural...Read More

    Wednesday I traveled to GA and only brought home 2 items. But these were worth giving up a day of travel for sure. One is a leather bomber jacket (3xl) with handmade BSA insignia on it. If you have been around you might remember some of these were made by a guy 20-25 years ago in Korea. But...Read More

    This week I published a video interview with Bill Mulrenin focused on the idea of how can you grow your hobby business. It was actually Bill's idea to turn the tables and interview me about tips for how people can get into selling online and what are the pitfalls.   In 2022 the game changes as selling even one item...Read More
