      It's more than just POTUS signature. My council has had difficulty getting anything back from national in less than 8 weeks since the turn of the year.

      That is actually the best response and I apologize for bringing it in.  Separating frustration from places it should be left from.

      Suppose it was instead My Honorary or Honored Scout to be completed by the scout if he or she chooses.  Scout chooses and acquires that person's signature on certificate/card.  When I think about the signatures, some famous some not so much,  that I had the opportunity to get back in day ... who could refuse an Eagle Scout's request to sign his/her card? Excelsior! My $0.02,

      Also have a Nixon certificate.  Sad to admit that at that point in my life I doubt I even knew who Stan Lee was! 馃榿

      Scouting Memorabilia - Left out of Collectibles Boom?

      By BetterWithCheddar 路 Posted

      This is absolutely a factor. Just focusing on the recent trend (membership being roughly 1/3 of what it was 10 years ago), there just aren't many new collectors to replace the ones getting up there in age.   I actually don't mind the stagnant prices. The limited collecting I do brings me joy and helps preserve Scouting history in my area. I've never sold a patch.   I'm sure it varies by region, but I noticed an "explosion" in patches specifically designed to be collectible around 2000 (different borders, limited runs, etc.). I was away from Scouting from 2007-2022 (returning to be my son's den leader). Since I never experienced this era first-hand, the variations have little appeal to me.
