One of the pitch lines for our product that you will see on the site is that Best Hobby Pages are made from archival grade plastic.  I'd like to share some photos of a Scouting museum that is demonstrating that with their collection. I recently heard from Nick Wolf who shared pictures of the Southwestern Connecticut Scout Museum.  The BHP envelopes are lightweight and clear which works well in this exhibit.  There is some great creativity with using the poster rack so that a person can easily flip through the boards.

I just returned from the National Order of the Arrow Conference and realized something every important about the product that I sell while there for 10 days. It's not obvious how the PAGE system works to store and protect your patches and other collectibles. I use the acronym PAGE to stand for Plastic Archival Grade Envelope System. The key to this system is that your items go in envelopes that side load into the pages to create an attractive and archival safe way to display and store your collection.

In the last 9 months I have attended more trade-o-rees (swap meets for Boy Scout patch collectors) than I ever have before.  I've been out to St. Louis, up to Indianapolis and over to Norfolk.  One of the common grumbles I've heard from fellow dealers is that declining attendance and therefore declining sales are spoiling these events.  I certainly agree that my sales from all of these shows have been less than spectacular.  In fact the very first show I went to the in the fall of 2017 I don't think I made enough to cover my trip costs.  Now...

Long before I ever purchased the company from Joe my favorite product that BHP carries is the 6-Pocket Scout White Polypropylene Archival Page. What I really like about these is that the white backing provides such a great pop to the color of the patches.  A lot of people cut out index cards to fit in these similar page but these have the white literally baked in as a solid backing of poly white plastic.  But perhaps the best reason to use the 6-Pocket Scout White Pages and the similar 6-Pocket Clear Scout Pages is what happens to the competition...
