I have begun collecting access/launch badges. I only have two so far: Apollo 11 and Apollo 17. I'm hoping some of you have extras to sell. I'm interested in collecting any badges from Gemini through the Space Shuttle. Please email me or respond with a post here. Thanks. — Jim |

There are two kinds of launch access items which people collect. The car dashboard passes are larger, generally about 5" X 7".Safe to assume you are looking for the smaller personal access badges meant to be worn in front above the waist and are the 2" X 3" size? |

Yes. You are correct. I'm interested in the smaller badges that were worn on the person (or carried by) rather than the vehicle passes. |

I have several from a variety of missions posted throughout my site by mission. |

Hi Steve. Yes, I've been to your website, thank you. You have some really nice badges. A few I'd love to own but unfortunately out of my price range.I'm really hoping a collectSPACE member has some extra badges they'd like to sell. |

There are usually a few reasonably priced ones on eBay, especially for shuttle launches. |

Ken Havekotte has a boatload of badges, you'll need to contact him directly as he doesn't have a website to search through. He's a member of this board.Also Donnis Willis (lunarlegacies.com) usually has a nice assortment of badges available for purchase. |

Hi Joel. Thanks for the help. Ken, if you see this post, please email me if you'd be interested in selling some badges. Otherwise, I will look you up and contact you. I will also check lunarlegacies.com. To Mike_The_First, thanks for the eBay tip. Again, I was hoping to deal with someone directly to avoid eBay fees to the seller which understandably get passed on to the buyer (me). |

Another member of this forum contacted me a couple months ago with some Apollo-Soyuz (ASTP) items he had for sale. I'm fairly certain that access badges were included in what he had available. If this interests you, I can see if I still have the email exchange with him and mention your post to him, in case he hasn't seen it. If I recall, his prices were very reasonable, in my opinion. Just let me know. |

Ken H. here "lunardreamer" and I would be more than happy to get back to you in about a week if you don't mind as I am unable to do so at the moment. Your patience is much appreciated and I promise to get back to you soon. |
