Vintage Things You Might Find in Your Home That Can Be Sold Off for Thousands of Dollars
Boy Scout Badges
The Boy Scouts have been educating young people about citizenship and adventure for more than a century. They’ve given out millions of merit badges, and the Scouts have given out medals, including one for “personal management” that covers investing, credit cards, and saving.
People who have kept their patches and medallions have discovered they can become quite valuable over time. Full merit sashes can sell for hundreds of dollars, while single patches may receive bids of $50 or more. A Boy Scout sash with 18 patches from the ’30s to the present was offered on eBay for $4,500 in August 2019.
