  This weekend my family made a trip down to Pawleys Island SC to get one more beach weekend in. But it's not without a patch related errand. I sold Jim Pifer one of his OA needs last week and rather than trust the mail to deliver it I am planning on hand delivering it to him later today since...Read More

  Monday I have a call scheduled with my audio and video editor to come up with some strategies for a new series of videos I'd like to produce in the fall. This is where having someone with knowledge of their industry comes in handy. Samuel has helped me to increase the quality of my content and before I start...Read More

  This week I'm finally getting to crack open the boxes of stuff that I brought home from my trip through the South earlier this month. One of the guys did a lot of trading at national events going back into the 1980s so there is a lot of $5-$10 patches which are my bread and butter selling on eBay....Read More

  I had a great time at the Occoneechee TOR this weekend. Multiple people drove 8+ hours to be there so nobody can call this just a local show anymore. In fact I heard one of the big time dealers tried to get tables too late a few months ago and got left at home.   A month from now...Read More

  I caused a little excitement in the Facebook Group last night. So yesterday I unboxed a great TX collection that came in this week. (recorded the unboxing - will be published next month). This was a collection where nothing in there was newer than 1965. Mic drop LOL But the real surprise as I started looking was a lodge...Read More

  This weekend I'm packing my stuff into the patch wagon and heading up the road about an hour and 1/2 to Camp Durant for the Occoneechee TOR. If you are attending I look forward to seeing you - if you have not this is a good one to put on your calendar. Yes it's pretty heavy on North Carolina...Read More

  Tomorrow I am meeting a couple of guys to purchase collections in MS and LA. But today I'm visiting Graceland with my mom (a real Elvis fan as a teenager). We got to walk Beale St. in Memphis last night and get a little feel for the city.   Ironically the collections I'm picking up are not even home...Read More

Boy Scout Collection Unboxing Camp Alliquippa Yohogania Area Council BONUS Transatlantic Camp Mohawk

In this video I unbox two small vintage Boy Scout collections that I picked up. The first is just an envelope of stuff that includes some items from the Transatlantic Council. I was most interested in the felt 1959 Camp Mohawk patch from England. This was a BSA camp of the council overseas. The second collection was from PA and...Read More

  This week I've published my latest unboxing video featuring a neat PA collection from the West Branch Council and Camp Kline. This Scouter was also a Vigil Honor member of the OA and worked on camp staff many summers.   I have a link for the collection unboxing below. This was a fun one to crack open but sadly...Read More

  It looks like my plans to make a trip west are coming together. Now for most of us Louisiana would not be considered "west" but when you live in North Carolina that is a true statement. I've confirmed 2 collections that I am driving out to pick up possibly next weekend. There is a chance I will make stops...Read More

Boy Scout Patch Collection Unboxing Pennsylvania Vigil Honor Scout Camp Staffer

This collection arrived to me on preview from a Scouter who had grew up in the West Branch Council and was on staff at Camp Kline for many summers in the late 60s early 70s. He was a Vigil Honor member of Tiadaghton Lodge 384. I was impressed with the amount of local stuff he had including some Order of...Read More

  Yesterday was the beginning of normal time for me. No more summer camp, no more family vacations, just going into the office early and cranking out some work. I got about 250 OA auctions scheduled to launch over the next few weeks. I'm also turning my attention to the mountain of boxes waiting for me as I continued to...Read More

Bizarre 57 Pound Boy Scout Collection Unboxing From A Georgia Picker

What happens when a farmer from South Georgia who is also an estate sale and auction picker needs to cash out? This is one of the most odd collections of stuff I have purchased and the unboxing is just as random. But amidst the crushed Cub Scout regatta boats there are a few gems for sure! I took a big...Read More

  Some times you strike out! I got a call from a lady (while I was in the airport) looking to sell her dad's old uniform and merit badge sash. It was from the late 1940s and exactly what I love to collect. After she sent me the pictures I made her a fair offer. But it turns out sentimental...Read More

    Yesterday before jumping on a plane to Los Angeles (family vacation) I met up with an old North Carolina collector in the parking lot of my local Hobby Lobby. He had been out of the game for decades but was very active in the 1970s and had some good stuff. Luckily, I'm going to be at the Occoneechee...Read More
