In my high school in Soenderborg, Denmark (I'm a teacher there) we have a frame holding a presentation of various pictures and flown crew patch and flown US flag from the STS-54 mission. The presentation is signed by Greg Harbaugh and was given to the school when he visited us some time in the 90's.

I'm curious as to what this might be worth? I might be able to persuade the boss to reframe it (the old one is broken!) and perhaps hang it in a nicer spot...

Thanks

Presentations such as you describe are comprised of patches and flags that were flown in the mission's Official Flight Kit. Similar framed sets from other missions have sold for $250 to $450 at auction, depending on the style of the montage and the venue through which it was offered.

The market however, is a poor indicator for the value of the presentation to the school. I would encourage its placement in an area that can draw the attention of students, as it might just serve as an initial source of inspiration for a greater interest in space exploration.

Thanks Robert.
You can trust me that I am proud of having this presentation at my work place and I agree with you on where/how to display it. Thanks!
