Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter December 19, 2017

Yesterday I actually broke out my merit badge collection and enjoyed "playing with my patches". Since moving to more of a full time dealer I really haven't spent much time just enjoying my collection so that was a treat. I have many needs but also a great collection that I'm happy with. The guy in my home lodge that is...Read More

I was able to put two really cool pieces back into the hobby this week! The first one was pictured in the last issue. A non-Scout digger down in Florida turned up an Air Scout Ace medal. We connected through the net and now that fantastic piece is on it's way to a collection where it will be appreciated. This...Read More

Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter December 15, 2017

I was blown away to find an email in my inbox this week from a dealer in Florida who had turned up an Air Scout Ace medal. As many of you know this is the crown jewel of a Senior Scouting collection. Less than 1,000 of these were ever earned in the late 1940s and early 1950s. I am brokering...Read More

Friday I am off to the Winston-Salem TOR here in North Carolina. This is a sold out regional TOR that usually features great stuff from VA, NC, SC in the room. I'll have the full Best Hobby Pages inventory with me so if anyone wants to save on shipping go ahead and place an order by emailing me. Tuesday is...Read More

Scott Wheeler has a collection of 100,000 unique Scouting items. But the trick is these are not all patches. He collects neat things like baseballs that have a BSA connection which is why he compulsively creates list to keep track of all his side collections. These lists then become checklists that he is happy to share with other Scouters that...Read More

A little further down in the newsletter I am sharing the edited video of our presentation at the event. One thing I've been trying to do through social media is build up a little positive buzz for the camp. This included making the first ever true meme using a website that specializes in those. I don't know if you would...Read More

I have really been focused on hiring the staff so I'm going to share the link for applications here in case someone you know might be interested in coming to work for me. We are actively looking for several positions and of course have to fill the ranks of the Jr. Staff with instructors. There are not many TORs in...Read More

The irony in attending the pop up market is that I sold almost as much stuff online by posting pictures of my table on Facebook. I made several deals during the event and had to pull items from the display. My wife would probably tell me I should have just stayed home and helped entertain her mother as we were...Read More

Scouting Hot Finds Radio #81: Scott Wheeler 2017 Jamboree Checklist

 Scott Wheeler is a Boy Scout memorabilia collector who has a collection with over 100,000 unique items. The only way he can keep track of all these items is by creating checklists. That has led him to create the best 2017 National Jamboree checklist of council issued items. By Scott's estimation there are around 2000 items issued for this...Read More

One of the reasons for the trip was to take Best Hobby Pages on the road to a TOR where it has never been before. I had the complete inventory and had several collectors take home plastic. I was also able to sell almost 50 riker cases that I brought to move so the patch bus was just a little...Read More

At this TOR I am really focusing my sales on 3D items and dollar tubs. I have some decent OA pieces with me but much of what I brought was items from the recent Midwest collection I purchased that I hope will be going home. I'll include pictures in this Sunday's issue. Except for NOACs I've never attended a TOR...Read More

Loyal readers will note that Sunday I missed publishing an issue of the newsletter. That is very rare indeed however in this case I was taking my mother back to SC and was gone most of the day. Family comes first! This week I should be on target even with leaving early for the St. Louis TOR. I'll be riding...Read More

This is what your sorting table can look like when you are doing the "rough sort" of boxes of Boy Scout stuff. This is some new stuff I'm selling for a collector and it came in boxes. My job yesterday was to sort out the OA, camp patches, shoulder strips etc into different containers. From there I can alphabetize things...Read More

I took my den over the Boy Scout meeting last night to check out their Cast Iron Chef competition. It's essentially a patrol cooking contest that includes themed menus and secret ingredients. It was held under the shelter at the Scout hut. I saw Scottish shepard's pie being made alongside Greek kabobs and Mexican cornbread. Sadly we had to leave...Read More
