le Voyageur 72 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I'm considering placing on ebay an incomplete collection of Jim Crow era, circa 1950, tan and red hardback merit badge booklets, 24 in all. 18 are stamped "xxxx County Negroe Library", 3 with "GN" ( again for xxxx County Negroe Library", and 3 with "GW" (xxxx County White Library). Question? Is there an interest in this kind of material? If so, what would be considered a fair asking price? Link to post Share on other sites

scoutldr 739 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 What you have are the library editions with the hard covers. These will be of interest to Scout memorabilia collectors, and as with everything, value depends on condition, age (copyright date) and the rarity of the pamphlet. For example, the pamphlet for "Pathfinding" may be more valuable than "Camping". "The "negroe library" stamps may, in addition, make them attractive to collectors of black history memorabilia. From what I have seen on eBAY, a starting price of, say, 9.99 each would not be out of line. Just make sure and describe them thoroughly and honestly, and a picture is worth a thousand words! Good luck, LeV. Link to post Share on other sites
Twocubdad 665 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Not too far from you coordinates are a couple of large memorablia dealers. If you want someone to eyeball the books and tell you what they think, you may try some of these: Hammerstone Scout Museum, Lillington NC, 901-814-2955 The Carolina Trader, Monroe NC, 704-282-1339 Streamwood, Easley SC 864-859-2915 If you do a search, you can probably find them on line.
