Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter August 7, 2016

Don't you love it when the only memorabilia issue for an event was a plastic neckerchief slide!? The 1955 6A issue pictured below is kinda legendary because there was no patch issued that year. If OA is not your thing I'm sure something else in this lead off block will tempt you to click over to eBay. As soon as...Read More

I've got my eyes on the early uniform and merit badge sash pictured below. The same seller has two different Eagle Scout patches up for bids and certainly a kid with the many MBs made it to the top. I'm pretty sure I need the Salesmanship MB from that era which the Scout earned pretty early on. Isn't it great...Read More

I heard from Nick Wolf that he expects to get in his patch trading blankets from the supplier overseas this week. I think these might be popular at next years Jamboree and when I get one in I'll post pictures. I think it's great when people in the hobby develop products to feed our addiction and passion. Over on Facebook...Read More

I have tried all week to put my finger on what makes this crowd tick and contrast it with my fraternity of Scouting friends. While in the river yesterday a teenager spotted my conclave shirt and we got into a talk about how he has just been inducted in Tsoiotsi Tsogalii (Greensboro, NC). Before long I was hashing out the...Read More

  All week I've been at the Twin Rivers Campground up in the mountains of NC. We've been tubbing down the river, swimming in the river and cooking up a storm. My kids have been in heaven and the real fun is this weekend when they expect more than 100 VW buses to be in for the finale of the...Read More

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter July 26, 2016

In the opening block today we have tons of really classic stuff that some of you will want to window shop and check out. I don't know how many B-P collectors are out there but all of use are just a little bit curious about the truly vintage auctions on eBay. I just got word that a friend of mine...Read More

Well in case you've been under a rock for the last week you might not know that one of the rarest pieces of Scouting insignia is being offered up by TSPA. The Type 1 Air Scout Ace below is a thing of beauty with reports that very few are in collections. I don't really know how much stuff was issued...Read More

I think if you are going to do a lodge fundraiser using patches then this is probably the way to go. Santee 116 is trying to raise money for renovations to camp including replacing the 50+ year old swimming dock, storage for both sides of lake and other maintenance projects. To honor one of our most beloved members they made...Read More

Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter July 22, 2016

This block has several really neat Scouting books up for bids. I'm going to run a giveaway next week for the prices realized book that I did on that subject a few years back. The book is in full color and I will include the cd version with it. Look for details in next week's Hot Finds. Two different sellers...Read More

Ok don't tell my wife but I bought a new tent for camping. I think I can slip it past her except that I'm about to go on a quick weekend trip with the kids and I am a little worried that it will be delivered while I'm gone. Kinda hard to miss a big box showing up on the...Read More

Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter July 8, 2016

Check out the auctions that I turned up for this lead off block in today's newsletter. I never miss a chance to put a 1947 WJ patch in the newsletter considering I'll never forget the day that one sold on eBay for $72k which was definitely the all time record for any piece of Scouting memorabilia. Can I be one...Read More

For any of you that have an eBay store there is a critical deadline approaching. When eBay rolled out their new fee structure on May 1st they also included a quarterly coupon that could be used to purchase shipping supplies. In a few days Q3 will be here and if you have not used that initial coupon for the supplies...Read More

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter June 26, 2016

The Sunday issue is always packed with some of the best auctions ending soon. Check out these classics including some 1947 WJ patches that always bring a pretty penny. The reports I read said that trading was very light at the OA Prism. This is probably about what I experienced some years ago at the 2011 Indian Summer event. There...Read More

Responding to the ad the first time the fellow sold him a bunch of what I like to call 3D Boy Scout items. All the gear and "stuff" that you find in many collections. But the guy said there would be more. The second round was a duffle bag full of medals and all kinds of cool Baden Powell items...Read More

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter June 19, 2016

One reason the Sunday issue of the newsletter is my favorite is because of all the really cool stuff that ends on a typical Sunday. In this issue you can find cool insignia, rare OA and loads more up for bids. Is it a sign of the patch crazy times that OA events so small that only a handful of...Read More
