Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter September 16, 2016

It would be fair to say that trade-o-ree season is in full bloom with a number of shows this weekend. The Friday edition of the newsletter always includes a calendar at the end with links to all the show flyers. For my part I am trying to attend about 1 show per month. This month (next weekend!) I'll be going...Read More

Tonight is the drawing in my first ever free sweepstakes giveaway. It's not too late to enter your name if you haven't already. Just follow this link and it asks for your name and email. At 11 PM EST the software will randomly pick a winner. Sounds like fun! It's a brave strategy to start a lot of 50 OA...Read More

Patrick keeps telling me he doesn't care about working on patches (he's 7!) Despite my trying to explain that it's nothing like that I'll have to show him in person Monday night. It looks like my daughter will have meetings the same nights as Cubs so it might be the cooling off of my tenure as a Girl Scout leader....Read More

Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter September 9, 2016

Today's issue of the newsletter is loaded with plenty of good pickings for any window shopper or serious collector. You can find old books, patches and BSA gear just a click away as everything is a hot link that will take you to eBay. Ok I am a little bias but that generic looking Chicora Chapter patch listed below is...Read More

I'm going to try something today that might seem a little silly. Over on the Facebook Group I'm going to post pictures of scout t-shirts for sale practically for free (just shipping). My wife is on the warpath on the amount of Rubbermaid totes so I'm going to see if I can "free-cycle" some shirts back to people who would...Read More

The BSA contingent patch pictured below is to the 1929 WJ. I know they found a good design and kept rolling with it. I just wish they had decided to put the dates on each year because it would be a very tempting patch set to collect if you could just tell what was going on. The Prism set below...Read More

The Scoutmaster jacket pictured to the left is a little deceiving because as the thumbnail picture you don't get to see all the nice insignia that comes with this auction. Don't miss a chance to see what else you get with it. I checked OAimages.com and the Lodge 220 R1 felt patch linked below never had a recorded sale when...Read More

I was able to walk into the Occoneechee TOR last weekend with a very significant collection that I just picked up on the way there. I counted about a dozen collectors who got needs out of this collection during the weekend. If you collect Lodge 104 shoot me an email to santeeswapper@yahoo.com and I'll send you a PDF of what...Read More

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter August 28, 2016

This block includes lots of cool pieces including those Florida OA items pictured below. I've got them on my watch list because I love quirky lodge stuff that die hard collectors want to go to war over. Even I got into the fun at the TOR and picked up some needs that will stay in my collection. The opportunity presented...Read More

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter August 23, 2016

The lead off listing below is poorly worded - "vet"? but well worth clicking on as the bidders have figured out what this guy has. The camporee patch below is a 1 known which explains the bidding war that is playing out for a tough East Carolina issue. It looks like an antique dealer got lucky. The seller of the...Read More

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter August 21, 2016

In this block you will find some nice auctions from one of the earliest eBay partners I had when I launched the Hot Finds back in 2009 - none other than noelle3. She did ALOT of consignment selling for Topkis and you can tell by her feedback rating that she was busy. I guess she is back in the Boy...Read More

Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter August 19, 2016

Like most issues I'm leading off with some nice vintage Scouting memorabilia that gets the interest peaked. The merit badge sash pictured below is a really nice one that the seller is dating to the mid-1920s. Any day now I expect to get in domr boxes for the first consignment collection I've taken on in quite some time. This guy...Read More

I posted a picture of that Cub Scout listings in the SPC last night and it got quite a response. As one collector said finding old Cub Scout stuff is just as hard as finding old Boy Scout stuff. This listing includes several old shirts and blue and gold community strips! I am pretty sure that NEXT "thank you" patch...Read More

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter August 14, 2016

Well if you like Eagle Scout memorabilia this block has got it all for you. Some of these are relists from last week when a seller pulled the items because of an error. It's funny how fast the Prism issues have faded and the NEXT pieces are the stars on eBay. Having seen all this play out it won't be...Read More

Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter August 12, 2016

This weekend I'm going to press the launch button on several hundred more Jamboree patch auctions. I think I'll throw some up tonight and the rest on Sunday to spread things out a little. To make room in my store I want to move out some council patches so I'm running a 1/2 off sale. I've got over 1200 issues...Read More
