Anyone interested in buying some Libbey Glassware Apollo mission tumblers?

I'll be calling an antiques dealer I know who literally has cases of these either today or tomorrow. She also has the carafes, with the white stopper too. I don't know prices yet, but if we had a larger number, she may give us a better deal. Just looking for interest at this point for some bargaining power.

May be interested in a case depending on what missions they have available.

Just a quick warning on the carafes/pitchers; they are made of a rather fragile thin glass. Have bought five over the years via mail order and only one survived the shipping process even though they were packaged quite well.

Agreed on the carafes. They can be fragile. I already have one. She has several through.

What interested me are the couple of the red glasses I don't have yet. Stopped at her store Saturday but she was closed. So thought I'd throw this out if anyone is interested before I call her. I've talked to her before and she literally has cases of these tumblers. So yes, to answer your question, all the missions are available.

I have interest if she has Apollo 13 with Mattingly, three stallions and the red color glass appearance and Apollo 14 without Shepard golfing.

I doubt that will happen unless I go to get them in person. She won't know one from the other beyond some are red, some are blue, some may be shaped differently. She's an elderly antiques seller, not a space collector.

If I do go in person, I'll do what I can.

After several discussions with the seller, she only had two of the red Apollo 13 glasses. I bought both. If someone wants the second, I'd be happy to sell it.

As for other items, she does have several cases of the blue and white glasses (some as sets still in the original green/white cardboard packaging). She also has several of the carafes (with the white stopper, which can be harder to find). Again, if someone wants something, let me know and I'll look for you.
