Hi, I am interested in purchasing some of the Mercury - Apollo pinback buttons. Are there any websites that help identify original buttons and what pricing is? I see several on ebay and want to make sure I am getting what I am paying for.

Thanks

Jerry

I found a few Mercury and Apollo pinback buttons listed on the Mears online site.

Banning & Low have a few listed.

Both sites give pricing. Hope this helps.

I have five 3.5 inch Mercury/Gemini/Apollo pinbacks on eBay as part of a larger lot.

Be careful with the Apollo 11 pinbacks that say "America Salutes" across the top in red/white. There are 3 stars on either side. Some of these are later reproductions, aka counterfeit. The stars in the vintage ones are offset, too close to the interior. The stars are centered better in the counterfeit ones.
