I am halfway through my next book club and this time it's got me thinking about Best Hobby Pages. On the website I give kinda the standard list of a dozen reasons why it's a great product. But what I lack is a story and that's what the focus of the book I'm reading is called Building A Story Brand by Donald Miller.

In any story there is a hero, a guide, a problem and some other elements. His book also has some great ideas about building a lead generator and focusing on referrals. So what I need to find are some Best Hobby Pages super fans that I can interview about how they decided to use the product. Having sold tens of thousands of pieces of plastic I assume I know why people choose to store their collections in this system but I'm sure each collector has their own story.

Scouting Auctions Ending Soon on eBay

So my ask is that if any of you are a new or long term user of BHP let me know if I can interview you over the phone about the product. I want to hear your feedback and comments about your journey.

In a recent collection I got some military patches from WWII that I am auctioning off. It's easy enough to ID them using Google Lens (thank goodnees) but understanding the market for these is a mystery. So I listed them at auction and we will see what happens.

I got a call from a collector in the Northeast yesterday while down here on vacation. He seems to have a big collection although it's hard to know just yet what all is there. I am hoping I can get some pictures but in his 80s I don't think technology is his friend. It's too early for me to plan another picking trip but going up the east coast is a little easier than flying to the Midwest.
