eBay Scouting Hot Finds Weekend Update: Saluting Our Troops

eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter

Weekend Update Edition

November 11, 2011

Greetings!

I am back with another newsletter stuffed with the best live auctions in the category. I can see around the corner that Sunday is going to be another big day in the category but this issue only focuses on Friday/Saturday. Therefore, every auction link here has just hours before it ends so get in while they are still kicking.

Vintage Scouting Auctions A Tribute To Our Past

I posted a copy of the picture from the 1917 War Service Medal on the internet and got several nice comments back. With today being Veterans Day that award reminds us all that the Scouts have supported the troops since the first years of the organization.

Order of the Arrow Auctions Getting Going

I didn't spot any killer OA pieces ending in the next 48 hours on eBay but there are several worth mentioning below. The Tomo set is complete with the rare delegate issue. I'm sure one look at the patch and you can guess what their spirit them was.

Making Room For More Auctions

Just for fun I tried to see how many unusual items I could squeeze in for pictures in this block. Don't you just cry when you see and old Eagle Medal that has been abused like the one pictured below. I don't remember seeing the replica BSA knife but I know there was a lot of that centennial stuff floating around in 2010.

I hope you've had time to listen to the interview I did with Jason Shull on segregated Scout camps. The link is here in case you missed it. The next episode of Scouting Hot Finds Radio will have part 2 of the interview. So far I've gotten a few questions from collectors that I will ask Jason live on air next Wednesday at 9:00 PM est. Come join us on the air if you are up and at the computer.

Sincerely,
