Scout Patch Grading Service helps collectors of Scouting memorabilia by objectively authenticating and evaluating the condition of Scouting collectibles.
Boy Scout and Girl Scout patches are actively collected. The result is that the value of rare items has increased in many cases over $10,000 US.
Unfortunately, this has lead to fakes and mis-represented items. Further, when values were much less,
a patch's condition did not make much difference. This is no longer true.
When patches were bought and sold through dealers, these issues were less of a concern. Dealers had
years of experience and knowledge. Collectors had
recourse with the dealer who would stand behind their offerings. Now that patches are just as often exchanged
between collectors or through public venues like eBay, collectors do not have these assurances.
The Scout Patch Grading Service solves this problem by grading and authenticating Scout patches.
