Vintage Scouting Memorabilia On eBay

it seems like lately I have not been able to get to as many TORs as I would like. A lot of that has to do with how busy things are at home. But I've faithfully mailed out TOR calendars with all of my eBay orders to try and help get the word out. But finally this weekend I am going to be able to attend my first show since May. i am driving to Camp Snyder in VA this Friday for the NCAC TOR.

Order of the Arrow Top Selling Auctions

There is something a little different about attending a show at a Scout camp. Usually there are more Scouts in attendance and you get to feel at home in the camp dining hall. But for me this one is a good crossroads of the different tribes. There are collectors in VA but this show attracts folks over from Maryland as well as down from PA and NJ. So it's the crowd I don't see at any of the other shows I attend and that's why I am going back this year.

Scouting Auctions Ending Soon on eBay

But the challenge for me is always what do you take!? Of course Best Hobby Pages and dollar boxes are on the cargo manifest. I usually like to have some local stuff that I pop out for the first time. I only have a couple of tables so I'll have to play with my set up a little to see how to roll.

I will have a new unboxing video published this week. My goal is to get 1 out every week if I can make it. Today I am listing merit badges and later plan to sort out tan rank and position patches. I am pretty sure I have never actually pulled a one of each collection of these because I snobbishly viewed them as too modern. But we have been wearing tans now for 35 years so I guess it's time for me to pay attention!
