I must admit, from the topic heading I at first thought the item in question was a flown Apollo 11 blanket of some kind(!!)

As is, the blanket pictured looks clean and cozy, but with a value I'd estimate at $20-$50 (possibly more if a few bidders end up fighting over it).

For insurance purposes, I would conservatively appraise it higher, between $100 and $200.

As vintage memorabilia, this blanket crosses into several collectible markets and while it might not be as highly-prized among space memorabilia collectors, there are others who have and will continue to value items like this for more.

Thanks to you both! I think I will likely value it around the $100 mark. It's certainly unique, and while I don't know much about the blanket collectors market, I suppose it would be an interesting facet to add to a textiles collection.

And sorry about the misleading title, it was unintentional. I will be sure to pop "memorabilia" in there for an item like this in the future. It's not a good day if I don't learn a new lesson!

Cheers and thanks again!
