I promise I will stop grinning about finally getting to be a Cub Scout parent but I had to share the first picture with him in uniform. Kinda reminds me of twenty years ago when the Heart 'O Texas trader was giving us updates on his boys as they came up through Scouting in his mailed fixed price catalog. I'm going to attend a school roundup this week which will be the first time I've done that since the 20th century.
Vintage Boy Scout Memorabilia Up First
I apologize to everyone for sending out the military collectors issue to this list yesterday. Usually about 1/year I am distracted and click the wrong box when I prepare the newsletter. I heard back from you and rest assured it won't happen again (until the next time I'm distracted - no just kidding!)
Today i get to open a consignment box that I got from the mailbox yesterday. If I can figure out the best way to shoot a video in the "patch cave" I will make an un-boxing video. I'm doing a little consignment on collections that are too big for me to outright purchase and this one has been a lot of fun as the Scouter was a rabid National Jamboree trader for about 20+ years.
The sketch book below is signed by B-P and would be a really cool piece to have. The seller has a feedback rating of "2". I know eBay has buyer protection and all that but I would be worried about buying something that good from a newbie. More likely he is not a newbie and had to start fresh with a new account.
My eBay store is growing by the week. I think I'm up to about 7,400 items now on my march to taking advantage of the 10k that eBay gives me for "free" with the anchor store subscription. You can see what I've got up by clicking this link to my store.
I checked this book out of the library because my background as a public school teacher tells me it's important to be a lifelong learner. Even somebody with a feedback rating of 26k was able to pull a few nuggets out. The nuts and bolts of eBay has changed this year with the roll out of seller hub and I've been trying to master that new interface. My other goal is to connect with an eBay sellers group to network with people but the only active one I can find is 2 hours away in Raleigh.
Yours in Scouting,
