I am once again offering the package of two items that shows Alan Shepard receiving a Medal of Honor from JFK, which is signed by Shepard, as well as a statue of Shepard holding the American flag. It is a sealed package from the US Historical Society. The picture is mounted and ready for framing. I am sure some of you have seen these before and those whom have purchased them have loved them. The price for both pieces is $165, plus shipping...

I also have some of the Apollo 12 comic books that are signed by Alan Bean and Dick Gordon. Unfortunately I forgot some of these at home when I did a signing with Pete Conrad, though I personally have some signed by all three which I am keeping. I am offering the ones signed by two for $60 plus shipping. They are signed in gold. I saw on eBay yesterday some signed by three that I know came from me in the past (the artist or writer signed them at Space Center Houston) priced at $395 though I did not see if it sold.

Anyway, after a hiatus from listing on cS I plan on listing many items (probably every two weeks or so) as I have to pay for the World's Greatest Space Collectible which is my wife and daughter who are moving here from Star City after 8 years of dating! She will kill me for calling them collectibles so don't tell her... Grin.

Please make a post here and send me an e-mail. If you need pictures of any items I will be offering, it is far easier to reply by iPhone with a photo, than figuring out and scanning on Windows 8.1... UGH.

I do retain the right to limit quantities though I likely won't. Have not decided yet.

Thanks for looking and please make sure to check out the upcoming Regency-Superior auction as I have numerous items listed there. — Richard Stonely

Just a footnote to clarify: the medal being awarded to Shepard by Kennedy is the NASA Distinguished Service Medal for Shepard's MR-3 flight; he received the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978 from then-president Jimmy Carter.

Having said that, I have one of the photo/statue sets and it is a great value and will look good next to any Mercury program models/acrylics.

Had I not already procured a different signed Kennedy/Shepard image recently, I would have snapped this up. That's a pretty good deal at $165, in my opinion.

Hey there OneSmallStep. I assume you live near Oakwood? If so, it's been a long time. Spent a day back on SI on my honeymoon over the 4th. Pretty much the same as I remember. Go Yankees!!! Thanks for the correction. Grin.

I purchased one of the statues and photos from Richard. I will say, it is a great piece on my desk at work and was worth every penny.

I was very happy. Thanks Richard, I'll certainly do business with you again!

With what some astronaut fees are these days, take a second look and you will realize these are true bargins...

My wife purchased a Apollo 12 comic as a Christmas present for me. Very pleased, Richard. It is in excellent condition with great signatures and she said the whole transaction was very smooth and easy. Thanks a lot, and Merry Christmas!

Recently there was a discussion about these under another thread and since I sold some there I figured I would remind folks under here that I still have more of these items for sale. Thanks for looking...

I also ordered a statue/autographed photo pair from Richard. Got the package about a week of the first email communication... super-fast! Alan Shepard's signature is super clear and sharp. I too am well pleased.

I ordered the Bean and Gordon signed Apollo 12 comic book from Richard and received it today. I love it. Signatures in gold look fantastic!

Thank you Richard for the amazing service and the awesome signed Apollo 12 comic at such a great price.

You're the best!

I still have more of these items for sale.

Considering today's prices these are a steal, but these were obtained ages ago, hence the prices.

Thanks for looking.

Received my Apollo 12 autographed comic. Nice addition to my collection. Thanks.

Side note, also picked up a crew signed Apollo 12 from Richard. Nice item. Richard is a great source of information on the items he sells.
