The condition of the slide was pretty rough, which I'm sure held the price down. From observing eBay, I suspect any Dixie Fellowship items particularly from the numbered Area years would be a good pickup if found at a Northern TOR. John,

Area Z covered what is roughly now SR-5 (western NC and SC). The conclave for this area has been dubbed the "Dixie Fellowship" for over 50 years now. Area Z patches are *highly* collectible. Some can sell for thousands of dollars. There is a very strong sense of history and tradition amongst the Arrowmen and collectors in this area.
