Bill Nelson Member Posts: 151 From: Lakewood, Colorado U.S.A. Registered: Jul 2006	posted 01-17-2015 08:46 AM In the 1985 to 1986 time frame, I was a member of a group called the Space Patch Collector's Club out of Pittsburgh. Does anyone remember that, who it was run by and how long it lasted?

It was a time when mission coverage was dwindling on broadcast TV and very few periodicals had much if any information in the early 80s on the manned space flights. Aviation Week and Space Technology and Countdown were exceptions. It helped me obtain quality mission patches before eBay or the internet were options for us.
