eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter
Sunday Morning 
January 31, 2021
This weekend I visited my mom in SC but still made time to go picking  Through an old lodge friend I was connected with a gentleman who grew up in the update of SC that wanted to sell his Scouting memorabilia.
This Weekend Is Loaded With Auctions
We met at the Wal-Mart in Lake City, SC to do a deal in the parking lot.  But as often happens we spent 10 minutes looking at stuff and 30 minutes talking about his memories of Scouting and a little bit of politics.  Interestingly he joined Scouts as a teenager and blazed through to get his Eagle in a few short years in the 1970s.  Although just an Ordeal member of the OA he did do some trading back in the day. 
Order of the Arrow Auctions Up For Bids
The other thing I could not believe .is that as a teenager he had an affinity for coffee mugs.  In this collection there were 48 mugs.  Now normally that would be a reason for me to run but about 15 of those were really nice OA mugs that I am sure will find a new home.
Auctions Are The Hot Finds Secret Sauce
So while it was a three hour detour in my day I was happy to pick up a local collection and will start getting it sorted and scanned Monday.  Any day you can go picking during the pandemic is a win!  I saw a bunch of guys enjoying this weekend's TOR in Oklahoma.  So I am like everyone itching to get back out meeting people.  We even shook hands to seal the deal which felt very refreshing.
Patchblanket Santeeswapper eBay Store
I have 270 live auctions on eBay with 112 of those scheduled to end tonight.  As usual it's OA heavy with issues from many different lodges. 

Tomorrow I'll be publishing a new unboxing video to my YouTube channel.  This one has a pair of collections that I got in recently.  While they are nothing to write home about I am always happy to get new stuff.
 
Your brother in the cloth,
