6. Scout Guide First Edition
Manufacturer: Boy Scouts of America
Original Price: Free for Scouts
Worth Today: US $ 2,200 *
First editions of classic books will always be worth much more than their original value, as people with money to spend and a love of history are willing to pay thousands to own a piece of the past. A first edition of Boy Scouts Handbook, published in 1910 by the Boy Scouts of America, it is worth at least US$ 2,200 today.
The BSH Guide is the official handbook of the Scouts and is a descendant of the Scout Guide Book, which was written by the founder of the Scouts, Lieutenant General Robert Baden-Powell (1857-1941). Currently, you can find the first edition of the BSH Guide for sale on ScoutStuff4Sale.com for $3,500.
For the collector who always wants to “be prepared” or is nostalgic for their troops, this is a must-have collectors item. Although little has changed about the book since its first printing, owning a first edition is a pretty cool right.
