Vintage eBay Scout Auctions This Weekend
For some time I have have made available as a free PDF download all of my prices realized guides and some other resources on my ScoutPatchHQ shopify store. Chris Jensen does something similar on his website. Yesterday on a Facebook post a fellow collector was suggesting I mail out CSP and OA lodge checklists. So I wanted to poll the subscribers fo the Hot Finds....what should I include next?
Here is a hot take. There are some reference books in the hobby that are so far out of print that they have not been produced in this century. I have considered reaching out to those authors (if they are alive) and asking if I could scan and share their book for free.But maybe a more obvious idea is checklists. What do ya'll think?
On eBay I have 126 live auctions running on vintage merit badges, OA and camp patches. This continues a run of some of the best items I've gotten in collections over the last six months. It's not like I was holding them back for the holidays it's just how things worked out.
Later today I'm driving to Winston-Salem NC to catch the final TOR on the calendar in 2024. The Old Hickory TOR has been going on annually for decades and it's a very nice local show. I don't have any killer stuff and my wife frowns on back to back TOR weekends so I don't have a table. But it's always good to see my fellow brothers in the cloth.
