The Hall of Scavengers | The Top Scavengers

The following Researchers have five or more Flea Market Rescues to their names, and the stories behind some of the rescues are as interesting as the subjects themselves! But we don't really have room here, so best you just enjoy them for what they are - take a look at some of the original Entries and the final Edited results - you'd be amazed at the work involved! That's why they should be regarded with nothing less than awe...

The 19 researchers so far who have earned the Scavenger badge have 220 Flea Market Rescues between them!
