Regency-Superior Auctions is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Orenstein as their Space Memorabilia consultant effective immediately.

Mr. Orenstein is known internationally for creating the first official space memorabilia auction in 1993 for Superior Galleries, and for holding regular semi-annual space memorabilia auctions ever since – first for Superior Galleries, then for Aurora Galleries (where he was co-owner). The auction catalogs researched and written by Orenstein over the years have proven to be the only hard reference to items, provenance and values of space memorabilia for collectors and dealers worldwide.

In addition to his auction work, Mr. Orenstein has been honored for his consultant services to dealers, collectors and NASA over the years. Mr. Orenstein is credited for having created the first public market place for collectors, dealers and sellers to meet, buy, and sell their memorabilia. For this, Mr. Orenstein was awarded the Gagarin Medal by the Russian Government some years ago.

Mr. Orenstein was hired to assist Regency-Superior in the researching, describing and lotting of their upcoming Space Memorabilia sales. He is presently accepting consignments for the April 2007 sale, and can be reached at the Regency-Superior offices in Beverly Hills (310) 203-8766 or email: morenstein@regencysuperior.com.
