My friend runs a monthly magazine and one of his regular items is "Unusual Collections." I am curious, does anyone on here collect anything that could be termed as unusual? |

Most individuals encountered who initially learn about my collecting focus of spacecraft/propulsion hardware (what — you can actually own that??!! How do you manage to acquire those things?) still find it quirky, unusual, incomprehensible, despite the general perception by cS members the hobby is now "mainstream." |

How about the "Last Jockstrap on the Moon?" Good question on the Space Hobby becoming "mainstream." Would it depend on the pricing of objects, the number of collectors, or the number of auction bidders? |

Have a number of these aerospace companies' employee appreciation pins. They were gifted at milestones like 10 years, 20, 35 years of employment. In the early days they were gold with real gems. In more recent times they are simply gold plated. Here are a few nice oldies in 10k solid Au. |

One of a kind models of mission-specific historical spacecraft signed by crew members. |
