This is a great piece. Do you have any other SSME items as well? |

This is a very nice piece. Just a bit out my price range though. |

There's an old thread where a guy was going to sell three of these for $1000. I wonder if the same, and curious about the current market value?

Sorry, but I wouldn't pay more than $75-$100 for one of these examples. |

This pyramid and the pillar-style acrylic displays are official NASA and contractor issued presentations of a flown artifact. I am not aware of another example of such — other than perhaps the bay liner bookmarks — that would sell for less than $150, and given what this is, I would peg its value considerably higher than that.Granted, NASA/GSA is distributing SSME turbine blades to teachers for $21.08 each. But until those are legally eligible to reach the market in five years — and even then, it's a big "if" if they do, I don't see their availability to educators today as distracting from collectors' interest in these more formal displays. (The educator examples are absent flight histories.) |

Are these from the Cosmosphere? |

No, the Cosmosphere presentation was in a pentagon shaped acrylic without the flight history for the blade encased inside. |

This is the only pyramid example that I am aware of. This was not obtained from collectSPACE. |

I had a similar acrylic, but I sold it a couple of years ago. A really nice, historical, heavy acrylic. |
