I WAS in Clinton/Oshkosh in 2009, but somehow I missed the patch. Looks like I may soon be the proud owner (and possibly wearer) of a $15 (plus shipping) Cessna 50-year-annivesary patch. Well worth every cent, Mark! If I had an extra, I'd just mail it to you! I am surprised we don't create MORE patches like this....Mark Buchner seems to be the MASTER at making OUTKAST patches every year - quite the collectible items!

We have a bunch of these, and even some of the gold plated medallions. We will plan to put them in the store at a more reasonable price. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 5,176 Likes: 842 Member/5000+posts! | | Member/5000+posts!

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 7,054 Likes: 99 | The way the bidding is going, it looks like I will be the proud owner of a $15 (plus $7 shipping) = $22 patch. Why? Don't ask me. Impulse. To tell you the truth, I hope someone outbids me, but if I win it, so be it. I am in a somewhat celebratory mood as it looks pretty certain that the company for which I have worked contract for the past year is going to hire me direct, and that is a huge load off of my mind... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 5,176 Likes: 842 Member/5000+posts! | | Member/5000+posts! Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 5,176 Likes: 842 | Mark, I have had "bidders remorse" a time or two! Well, it is a pretty cool patch!
I once put a patch up on auction and a guy in Europe paid $55.00 for it - incredible! There was a bidding war....it was an older leather NATO patch from when we were fighting in the Balkans.
I almost could not take the guys money - only paid $5.00 for it when I bought in in '97. So, I threw in a bunch of other patches I thought he would like, and he did...all is well that ends well.
Just goes to show value is clearly in the eye of the beholder! MM | | |
