Late last night I went to the drawing board with my Charlotte TOR floor plan.  I kept getting phone calls and a couple checks in the mail for people wanting tables.  Fortunately we sold out over a month ago but how do you turn down good folks in the hobby.  You don't!  So I started playing Jenga with the tables to see if I could squeeze everyone in.  So after adding 7 more tables I was able to work in several new collectors.

• Uniform Shirt Weeblos Cub Scouts 28 Youth & 5 Adult
• Boy Scouts Lot of 4 1960's Uniform Patches Vintage
• Scout Sash with Merit Patches 1940s - Michigan
• Scouts De Cuba Jamboree Contingent Patch
• National Council-Uniform-Geo Schrade-Mess

 

I face a dilemma tonight that intersects 2 of my passions.  My original plans were to drive up to the NC Girl Scout Collectors Show for a few hours and walk around with my daughter and possibly one of her troop mates.  Then my alma mater decided to bust everyone's brackets and end up in the Sweet 16 for the first time.  Even my wife wants us to all sit on the couch tonight and watch a basketball game together as a family.  Folks that has never happened!  She doesn't even watch the Super Bowl.  So I might be wearing Garnet and Black tonight and rooting on the SC Gamecocks versus Baylor instead of chatting with the ladies at the GS show.

• Lodge 341 Chief Lone Wolf Flap Lot First and Death Patch
• Section SE-6 Conference Host Neckerchief, Tipisa Lodge
• Lot of 9 OA Palo Duro Lodge 486 Scout Flap Patch
• 1967 Dixie Fellowship Neckerchief Camp John
• Hoh-Squa-Sa-Gah-Da 251 Ceremonial Team

 

Do any of you have a trade-o-ree freak out (my wife's term) the week before an event.  You want to get everything organized for your tables and just right.  I'm messing with uniforms, putting OA patches in albums, figuring out a way to display mugs and neckerchief slides - yep it's a patch freak out!

• 1975 Conference Official Jug Band Neckerchief 60th
• Rexcraft Boy Scout Bugling Award 1932 Contest

• Camp Emerald Bay Staff Neckerchief

 

Have you ever been asked to give a "patch collecting" class at a Scouting event?  Here is my take on that assignment.

This is my relist week for eBay auctions.  Over the course of March I had accumulated probably 200+ auctions that didn't sell the first go around so I've relaunched them for one more run on eBay.
