I was not sure how rare these were. I had a bid on it to about $75 just to test the waters (and was prepared to snipe higher), but that wouldn't even touch the final price. Evidently very few of these have ever escaped Garriott's private circle.I am learning as I go... </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>p51</TD><TD>What’s the patch to the left in the first photo with the woman on it?

Where does that come from?Take a list of Soyuz flights (starting with TM-31) and you will find that TMA-13 was the 17th Soyuz to visit the International Space Station. Two of these flights were used to deliver a "first" Soyuz and a main expedition crew to the ISS (TM-31 to get started with Shepherd, Gidzenko and Krikalev, and, after the Columbia accident, TMA-2 took up the two-man Malenchenko-Lu care taker crew). All 15 remaining flights took up at least one short-term passenger who returned on a Soyuz that was already at the ISS and which was replaced with the newer vehicle he or she had launched on. <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>EP-1: Tito (TM-32) <LI>EP-2: Afanasev, Haigneré, Kozeev (TM-33) <LI>EP-3: Gidzenko, Shuttleworth, Vittori (TM-34) <LI>EP-4: Zalyutin, Lonchakov, De Winne (TMA-1) <LI>EP-5: Duque (TMA-3) <LI>EP-6: Kuipers (TMA-4) <LI>EP-7: Shargin (TMA-5) <LI>EP-8: Vittori (notice that there is an EP-8 in the Soyuz TMA-6 patch) <LI>EP-9: Olsen (TMA-7) <LI>EP-10: Pontes (TMA-8) <LI>EP-11: Ansari (TMA-9) <LI>EP-12: Simonyi (TMA-10) <LI>EP-13: Shukor (TMA-11) <LI>EP-14: So-Yeon (TMA-12) <LI>EP-15: Garriott (TMA-13)</UL></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>MSS</TD><TD>According to: <A HREF="https://www.energia.ru/eng/iss/iss03/soyuz-tm-33/iss-second_russian.html" TARGET=_blank>Second Visiting Crew</A> was Viktor Afanasev, Claudie Haigneré and Konstantin Kozeev.
