Alan ElefsonHi-
I collect Boy Scout Memorabilia. This is a surprising area in terms of value. There are a few patches (mainly order of the arrow items) that routinely sell for 10,000.00 plus. I mainly collect patches, uniforms, and books. Like baseball cards, most parents (and even their kids) throw these items out believing that there is no value (even today!). Like baseball cards, patches have exploded in value since the early 1980s, and there are even a handful of full time buyers and sellers of boy scout memorabilia. I just hope professional grading is not the next big step for the patch collecting community.
