I did indeed get a neat collection this week albeit tiny that had some cool pieces from a Scout that attended the 1959 WSJ held in the Philippines. He traveled the world on a tour with a bunch of Scouts after the event which must have been an unbelievably formative event for a teenager. Every collection I get...Read More

Sometimes you have to step away from the hustle and take care of a family obligation. I've been out of action for a couple of days taking my mom to get a procedure done. She needed a chauffeur and her youngest son was a good candidate. I'm happy to report she got good results and now I'm back in...Read More

If you have ever moved as an adult then you know what the last 24 hours have been like at my house. I guess one sign of things is I went to deliver a load to the Goodwill truck parked near my neighborhood and the nice lady said Oh no I don't have room for all that you'll have...Read More

Yesterday I finally opened two small collections that I purchased during July when I was busy transitioning from Camp Director to civilian. I recorded the unboxing and have already sold some of the key pieces to collectors on Facebook. I love recycling collections back into the hobby. One thing I try to do from every collection is keep...Read More

After trying to figure out eBay's system I eventually gave up and just did the easiest version of running a sale. I manually dropped the prices on 330 NOAC Issues in my store. Right now there are almost 3,000 items running at auction with the words "2018 NOAC" in the title. If you read the Hot Finds then...Read More

So far this week I've logged two days in my warehouse and am starting to get caught up. I was able to ship over 50 eBay orders Wednesday and yesterday I got caught up on Best Hobby Pages. Today the agenda is consignor reports and knocking out some more shipping. No playing with patches today! I learned some...Read More

This morning as we are school shopping Sophia remembered that there is a small Girl Scout Jamboree at the Summit next summer before the WSJ. Now she wants to go to both so she can get extra time in at the Skate Park. Oh my looks like dad better sell some more patches! Even with all the new...Read More

It's a wrap! Hopefully by Sunday morning most of the contingents are home and everyone was able to sleep in their own bed last night after a wonderful week at the 2018 NOAC. I need to spend as much time today as possible with family so I'm going to skip over the commentary and save some of that for...Read More

It's been a wild ride for patch traders here at the 2018 NOAC. We had rain the first day, a spiraling fiasco the next 48 hours and Thursday brought a return to calm and awesome trading you would expect when over 6,000 Arrowmen are in one place from all over the country. I have always said that the...Read More

Today's Hot Finds Newsletter is coming to you from the NOAC at Indiana University. Today is #2 of the Pre-NOAC TOR put on by Chris Jensen. Yesterday was a good start to the event with lots of familiar faces reconnecting with Scouting friends. When you get around these many Scouters you hear some scoops that need to make their...Read More

This might be my craziest ever turn around. My wife's family decided to plan vacation inbetween the end of camp and NOAC. So that's given me all of 2-3 hours to pack for the largest TOR in three years. So if I forget something I guess I'll just have to slap myself. I'm looking forward to seeing...Read More

Yesterday afternoon I was sad. After breaking down my tables at the Pre-NOAC TOR I drove around the IU campus looking to see if there were any hot spots of trading. Sadly there was no pulse. The one thing you need for some patch trading to explode is lots of people in a central place. After dinner it was...Read More

The days are counting down until NOAC. I saw a post on Facebook that claimed this will be the 2nd highest attended NOAC in history. That sorta surprised me because I've heard of so many lodges having open spots on their contingents but I guess it has all worked out. I saw a message from the Cubmaster...Read More

I'm glad I took a picture of the lighthouse at Fort Williams outside Portland, Maine. After a 2-day journey to get home that covered over 15+ hours I'm not sure when I'll get back up that way. Today we push off for a more familiar holiday destination to Edisto Beach, SC. Then Thursday I beat it back to...Read More

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
