Space collector's legacy heads to auction: Leon Ford's NASA artifacts for sale [i]More than 100 artifacts from the estate of one of the first significant space memorabilia collectors will be auctioned Thursday (June 25) in Boston. The sale, organized by RR Auction, features a selection of the stand-out pieces curated by Leon Ford, a commercial photographer whose passion for space exploration led him to befriend other collectors and astronauts alike. Ford died unexpectedly of a heart attack in August 2014 at age 53. "He loved the astronauts and he loved collecting materials that had flown," said Bobby Livingston, RR Auction's vice president, in a video about Ford. "He was a completist. He had one of everything. When we went through his files, he had every mission, every photo, every astronaut."[/i]
