I was surprised by a recently closed auction on eBay for a 1985 PHILMONT TREK NATIONAL COMMITTEE PATCH. Can’t say that I have ever seen one before, but it would cover multiple collecting areas including Philmont and National OA issues.
Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction results for the next few months.
There were only 2 serious bidders on this auction, which started at only $ 3.99. The winning bidder was determined to win this one, he or she bid 9 times on this auction including 4 bids in the space of a minute or so after having the highest bid.
It would seem each additional bid must have raised his maximum amount as he was not going to lose this auction which ended at over $ 2,100.00.

Note that this went for almost ten times the price of the previous one listed from the same seller: item 320486826855
