T O P I C R E V I E WMikeSpaceAny information appreciated on this 8x10 photo which looks exactly like the Apollo 8 Earthrise photograph NASA AS8-14-2383. It is also printed on "A Kodak Paper" watermarked on reverse, and is stamped: "RCA Astro-Electronics Div 69-4-502 C Photo Negative No." Wondering how rare this might be compared to the NASA red number photo of same.spaced outPersonally I would say the NASA red number doesn't really make that much difference to the value of these prints. The key thing is the A KODAK PAPER watermark, the quality of the image, and the condition of the print.Robert PearlmanInteresting, I was thinking the opposite: the hook that many sellers use to justify that vintage prints are valuable is the NASA ID, establishing that it was "original" to the space agency at the time it was taken. A contractor print might carry some of that same distinction, but maybe not as much as the NASA-equivalent.Mike DixonAdmittedly, some original red stamps from the period are set at highly inflated prices, but even so, I believe they're way more valuable than an equivalent contractor version.gliderpilotuk quote:Originally posted by spaced out:Personally I would say the NASA red number doesn't really make that much difference to the value of these prints. There's always an exception. Apollo 8: Earthrise original "red number" photograph, Color photograph, 8x10 inches, 1968, with red NASA identification number in upper margin: "AS8-14-2383". Sold for US$ 8,200 inc. premium.LiemboWhat would the value be of an 8x10 Earthrise (AS8-14-2383) Kodak print from the 1970s on Kodak paper with the "This Paper Manufactured by Kodak" markings on the reverse. It still has the purple captioning, slightly different than the first generation captioning, and minus the meatball? It's hard to read in this photo, but boosting the contrast reveals the Kodak paper type.
