Anybody have a scan of what that patch looks like and what i should expect to pay for one? I saw what their Group 13 patch looks like. Is that they only one they had or did they a gag one as well?

Take a look at this forum link and you will find all the ASCAN patches with some info.
The links in the forum are from the spacepatches.nl website....

Thanks. Don't know how I missed it. Is it a rare patch? Does anyone know the history on it besides the website? Where can i get one and how much?

I would say all the ASCAN patches - the original vintage ones - are fairly rare, as they're only given to the astronauts themselves. I'm not even sure who makes them. As for the Hairballs patch, I've never seen one available for sale, but replicas do appear on eBay from time to time.

Here is a picture of an original Hairballs patch. One noticable difference from the Eagle One Aerospace (or Cargo Bay Emblem) souvenir version: more white around the cat's paw.
