I'm trying to collect Beta cloth mission insignias and astronaut name tags for every Apollo mission. I still need insignias for Apollos 10, 12, and 15, and name tags for Lovell, Bean, and Aldrin. If someone has any for sale, I'd be happy to buy them.

But I also have a large selection of patches which I can trade. So if you've got an insignia or name tag I need, but you need someone else, I'd love to help you complete your set, too.

For each patch given, I'm willing to offer multiple patches in return. You can see the list of available names below. If you're interested, please send me an email. Thank you!

I've now completed my name tag collection, and I've removed some names from the list above which have been traded. However, I'm still looking for mission patches for Apollos 10, 12, and 15. I can pay $150 each for these patches, or I can trade name tags from the list. Please let me know if you're interested. Thank you!

Can you be more specific on the patch you consider a "mission patch"?

Sorry for any confusion. I'm looking for the Beta cloth patches with the mission insignia, as shown in the photo below. Preferably, I'm trying to get them in their original 9x9" sheets, so they all match. A trimmed patch is OK, as long as it's not trimmed too close to the insignia.

As mentioned, I can pay $150 each, or trade patches from the list. I can also pay a considerably higher price for flown patches (from any Apollo mission).

Sorry for the late reply. I was just coming back to update this, and saw that I missed your message.

My original plan was to not sell any of these until after I'd obtained the last three patches I need. I thought there were probably people out there who weren't interested in selling, but might be interested in trading. So I wanted to keep a full supply.

However, I ended up with some unexpected medical bills last month, so I decided to list them on eBay. To avoid having to ship 65 individual patches, I grouped them into sections — one for Apollo 14, one for Apollo, one for ASTP, one for Skylab, and one for miscellaneous names. On eBay, I saw that similar tags had sold individually for $50 - $150, depending on the name. So I tried to price them similarly, with bulk discounts for larger sets. If the larger sets don't sell, I may consider breaking them up.

The Skylab and miscellaneous sets have already sold, and the ASTP set is on reserve. The eBay links for the remaining sets are below. If you contact me here, I can avoid eBay fees and sell them for a lower price. And if I decide to break up the sets and sell them individually, I will update this thread. Thank you!

I've had a few people asking about individual patches, so I've decided to end the 3-patch minimum. I'll sell them individually. However, I will offer discounts for larger orders, so let me know if you're interested.

Collins and Borman are now sold. Everything else is still available. Thank you for viewing this listing!
