Is it in the catalogue? Traveling to TTT is expensive.

I collect certain military patches. I have use the eBay "buy now" feature
to be sure to get patches that may be in demand otherwise that are missing
from my various sections. This may cost me up to $10 more per patch. I
have seen the same patch go for $28 in one auction and $5 in
another. Although they were identical patches, they had different service
backgrounds (or so the dealers said). Maybe getting patches from Philmont
trekkers means something more to them. I prefer patches that were actually
on a solder's uniform at one time although pristine patches of the same era
may be worth more.
