I have acquired a large (in my opinion) collection of NASA items. I intend on keeping all of the Apollo and artwork items and will attempt to recoup costs by selling rest of collection. I am a militaria collector and do respect the blood sweat and sacrifices made to make all of these things possible.

I have always remembered assembling in the cafeteria tho watch the landing of Apollo 11. When I found this collection, it brought back memories long forgotten. Please think of me as a new collector and not someone just moving things along. If you have advice, please feel free to email me. Thanks for reading. — Paul

My best advice would be collect what you like, without reference for value or rarity. if you collect what you like like it will always make you smile.

As for the extras, eBay or auction are a great way to recoup some of your money especially when your not sure of the value of an item. Auctions tend to give decent returns as long as you accurately describe the item your selling.

Thank you all for the welcome.

I should have introduced myself and explained my intentions from the start. I will take you up on offers of assistance. Also will continue posting items on the other post as I have more to go through. Thanks again.
