Matt Crance sends along some images of two Section NE-3A $100 Club flaps. Apparently for the last couple of years, Section NE-3A has issued a flap to those who spent $100 or more in the Section Auction. If you spent $200, you got 2, for $300 three, etc. This was to help encourage more participation and bidding in the auction.
The black dark blue bordered flap was originally issued in 2007 (updated 6-30-08 Thanks Matt).
In 2008, there was a green bordered, version issued; but if you spent enough to get 2, you could still get the black border.
There was a third flap made, with a yellow border, which was to be issued in 2009. Since 2008 was the last NE-3A Conclave, They were available if you spent enough in the 2008 auction.
Matt also provided the following information:
They had several people bid to cut peoples hair well over $300 so they got all three this year. I spent $200 this year so I got this years and then was offered a choice of the other 2 years. They still have more than 75% of the patches and they were going to be split between the two new sections for next years auction, if they will be used or not who knows.

- Until you’ve lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was.
I will send along better images once I get new scanner. It is my mistake (and the quality of the image) but I believe the one labeled as “black border” is actually a “blue border”. The Blue border one was still the one issued for 2007.
The email I got was just labeled the green one as 2008 and I already new the yellow one was 2009 so I didn’t even check on the color till I looked at my collection tonight. Again sorry about the images.
Just picked up the full set (to the best of my knowledge) there were 5 different color flaps for the 100$ + club. The color boarders included blue, green, yellow, red, and silver. I actually earned the blue one during the patch auction years ago, but I could not say which years they we issuing them.
