b'Justin Carlisle began collecting Boy Scout cancer awareness patches about the time that his Order of the Arrow chapter issued a patch to help raise funds for the local chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation in Greenville, SC.\\xa0 Soon he discovered that several OA lodges had produced memorabilia to help find a cure for cancer and he was hooked.\\xa0 With his own father falling a victim to cancer he decided to write a reference guide for others Scouting memorabilia collectors who were interested in this niche.\\xa0 Teaming up with Brett Estrade who runs Patchtrends.com he put together a guide that has all known issues including pricing data.\\xa0 In this episode of the Scouting Hot Finds Radio Justin and Brett share the story of this new collectors guide.\\xa0 For other Scouting memorabilia collectors who have notions of writing a similar collecting resource guide Brett Estrade is willing to partner with them by offering his database of prices realized from the Boy Scout category of eBay.\\xa0 At the time of this episode that catalog holds over 2 million price points.
