I'm not the seller, but there's a flown STS-103 flag with crew photo. The seller notes:This is a 'divorce sale' and I will be able to prove ownership to the winning bidder. I am just unable to post his name online. However, he is in the picture also listed with this flag auction. |

Back when I was collecting US aviation stuff -- probably pre 1980 -- I was visiting another collector in San Antonio. He collected German WW1 stuff and said a friend of his had tried to sell him a space suit and he declined. The fellow was going through a divorce and was attempting to shelter items in his collection with fellow collectors. |

I noticed they also sold a Group 16 astronaut sticker recently. Interestingly, only one astronaut on STS-103 was from Group 16, and he went through a divorce last year. Remind me to never get married. |
