In a continuing quest to finance a spaceflight fan's dream trip for my 40th birthday, I offer the following for sale...My complete collection of spaceflight lithographs and photographs, numbering approximately 500 images in all. Fills several 3-ring binders. All images stored in archival sleeves.
A RARE chance to start a photo collection from scratch or to augment an existing collection. A couple of images from Mercury and Gemini, then it gets very deep with skylab and beyond.
A few highlights:
* Complete set of crew pictures from Skylab until DEEP into the shuttle program.
* Large number of Hubble Telescope press release images from before launch until well after SM-1, including deep field images, the historic Eagle Nebula photo, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9's impact with Jupiter and dozens of others.
* Extensive set of pictures covering the highlights of Apollo and Skylab, including landings, splashdowns, launches and surface exploration.
* Extensive sets of press release photos from STS-37 (Gamma Ray Observatory), STS-61 (HST SM-1) and STS-89 (Shuttle/Mir).
* Approach and landing test photos.
* Rare photos from Teacher-In-Space training pre-51-L
All images are in excellent to pristine condition. Many have been in my custody for 25 years or more. If you're interested, drop me a line and we can talk about a more extensive inventory.
Hoping to sell as a group, but I will consider piecing out interesting groups if someone wants them.
