I've hesitated for a while over the pricing of the STS-3 and 4 patches. When they were first announced the first examples to appear sold for up to $200+ at auction which I found excessive at the time. I fully expected a significant number of these patches to appear on sale thereafter, leading to lower stabilized prices, but in fact virtually no examples have appeared since then. This seems to indicate that they are indeed pretty rare, possibly more scarce than the STS-1 crew patches which we know were fairly widely distributed to NASA employees.

So I've put what I believe to be a reasonable price on these patches, half what some examples have sold for, and only fractionally higher than the lowest the sums usually fetched by STS-1 crew patches.
