About BSPi: from PatchTrends.com to today

PatchTrends.com first became publicly available at the end of 2012. BoyScoutPatch.info (BSPi) grew out of that project and continues its commitment to Scouting memorabilia collecting.

The resource seeks to preserve and organize historical marketplace evidence so collectors can learn from past transactions rather than rely solely on current asking prices or isolated anecdotes. Its search tools, growing image-text capabilities, and long-running archive reflect an ongoing investment in making collecting research useful and accessible.

BSPi is developed from a collector's perspective: the goal is to complement the experience and judgment of people in the hobby, not replace them. Maintaining and improving the archive is part of a sustained commitment to the resource and to the collectors who use it.

BSPi today

Today’s BSPi homepage shows how the former PatchTrends.com project has grown into a broader historical marketplace research resource for collectors.
