I know that some of my frenemies in the hobby go crazy when I list pre-fdl flaps in a $5 album.  My math shows that if I can skip all the fees and time to list on eBay I can do just fine putting these patches in a $5 album and rolling the dice.  So when I get a new collection in I glean the OA patches to see ones that I think are in that range and add them to this album.  The ones I added this morning (over 130 new!) came from collections I picked up since October.

I recently took part in a  blind trade organized by Scott Wheeler focused on OA activity patches.  Lucky for me I had an album just waiting for them.  Like many of these Facebook albums I built in a discount if you are willing to go big and pick several.  With free shipping getting these for $3.50 is a pretty good deal.  It might be time for me to organize another blind trade myself since it's been almost a year since I pulled one off.

I caused a little stir this week when I posted a previously 1 known OA flap on eBay.  Turns out the Scarouady F1 that I have is YF1 once I got set straight by some collectors.  The flap has a dark brown owl and plastic back.  It is not the ZF1 but rather a rejected issue (thanks for the documentation Scott!).  I have no idea what the interest will be in this auction but I'll let the market decide who wants it.
