Robert Pearlman | RR Auction has posted a preview of their next Space & Aviation auction. Bidding opens Nov. 13 and runs through Nov. 20, 2014. |
divemaster | Print catalog arrived today. |
Greggy_D | It was a nice surprise to see the advertisements for collectSPACE and "Marketing the Moon" in the auction catalog. |
rjurek349 | Thanks for noticing on the ad for "Marketing the Moon"! It was an honor to be part of the catalog for such a historic sale as the first Hasselblad in space. |
Robert Pearlman | collectSPACE Parking space: Gemini spacecraft lands at auction, escapes parking ticketA mockup of a 1960's space capsule that was used by NASA for ground tests is set to sell for more than $20,000 — parking fees not included. The 9.5-foot-tall (3-meter) Gemini spacecraft, which is part of RR Auction's week-long space sale ending on Thursday (Nov. 20), narrowly escaped officers giving it a ticket when it was parked in a loading zone outside the Boston auction house's salesroom on Sunday. "I had to talk my way out of a parking ticket!" wrote Bobby Livingston, RR Auction's executive vice president, in an e-mail to collectSPACE. |
mode1charlie | Sieger cover went for $45,432. Holy cow. |
divemaster | Holy Cow was the Kranz notebook ($75,028). |
spaceflori | Amazing... a similar Sieger cover went for 8000 Euro just two weeks ago at Felzman at the original offering estimate — no bidding. The RR description was a bit misleading. There were quite a few (15+) sold over here in Europe in the past 20 years, I have handled four covers alone and most came with the appropriate paperwork, this was not the first with original offering as described. In fact I still have a complete set sitting here. |
divemaster | The Skylab flown brass flashlight (at $4839) also opened my eyes a bit. |
Rick Mulheirn | $10000+ for an uninscribed Irwin WSS litho must be a new record. |
GACspaceguy | This is really making me stay away from auction houses except Donnis and Lunar Legacies. |
Greggy_D | Certainly a great day for the consigners. I ended up batting .000 as a buyer. |
Charlie16 | I am stunned... Amazing prices, unreachable for normal people. |
rgarner | I think there were a handful of items that went at reasonable prices. But there was a lot of insane purchases here if you ask me - but then, it is a buyers market. Predictable doesn't come into the equation. |
Mercurypgm | I was very pleased to get the 51L Robbins for $2000 and the Bassett letter for about $350 plus commision on both items. Very surprised and pleased they did not sell for more. Thanks... |
