Greetings!
I stuck this old OA bear skin right at the top because its probably going to be the fun listing to watch for this issue. I'm sure this guy already has dozens of watchers so let's see where it ends. Be sure to read down to the bottom for my big announcement!

| Vintage Scout Auctions Leading The Way |
I am keeping an eye on the 1937 shoulder flash that is from a council in Texas. You don't see those sell very often and knowing those TX collectors there should be a lot of interest in this one.

| Great OA Issues & Conclave Patches |
The unusual thing about this big run of WWW is that very few of the Hot Finds picks are flaps. There are many odd shapes, rounds and great Texas conclave meeting patches in here.

| Auctions Getting Bids/Ending Soon |
I have WJ items scattered throughout this issue and they are not all from the same seller. The lot of books below has started shooting up as the clock nears for the auction gavel to fall.

Boy Scout Auctions Ending Sunday-Monday

The 10K gold OA ring only has one bid so far but that still places it in the top 5% of sales price in this issue of the Hot Finds.

I have been hinting at a big project for some time now and today I'm ready to announce. Tuesday I am publishing the first in a series of Boy Scout Memorabilia Prices Realized Guides. The first edition I'm calling "The $1000+ Club" and features the top selling Boy Scout collectibles from 2011. There were 126 listings by my count that sold for $1K or more last year. This book features each one with complete historical data, pictures, description etc. I hope this first guide will give you a sense of what I'm doing with this Prices Realized Project and that you will be hungry for more. I've got over 4,000 items I'm compiling into the series including all your favorites: Eagle Scout, OA, Awards & Medals, you name it. Its hard to explain the project in words so Monday I'll be publishing a video on the Facebook Page showing you the project. The first guide goes live Tuesday AM and of course the link to purchase it will be in the Hot Finds Newsletter! That's why its always a good idea to "like" the Scouting Hot Finds Facebook Page so you can be among the first to see the video.
Yours in Scouting,
