Since 1970 when I received my first batch of mission patches from AB Emblem, I have enjoyed building a collection and following these exciting first explorations off our planet. I had dreams of becoming a historian chronicling those missions in an encyclopedic collection of scrapbooks.

In the 1990's that became too overwhelming to continue so I scaled back my efforts to collect crew photos and mission patches purchased as soon as they were available.

Beginning in 2004 I was very fortunate to finally get to work with astronauts to help them design their mission patches and it has been an amazing ride. I still hope to have an Artemis crew wear one of my creations to the Moon one day.

But the time has come to offer these items to others. I have curated the patches I helped create for my two grandsons but have decided to offer the rest of my collection (save for some special, personal items) for sale via our eBay store.

There are a few more listings up now and way more to come.

We've adjusted the prices, too.

I will soon be listing my signed and numbered Apollo 7 patches that I worked on with Walt Cunningham on our eBay Store.

They are both #1 of the series.

It's time to give them a new home. My friend is gone but I have the photos and memories.

I'd like to share some "treats" from my private collection that I am selling in my eBay store that might be of interest.

Clockwise from top left:

  • Space Shuttle Enterprise to Intrepid Museum 2012 Commemorative Limited Edition patch

  • Original NASA ISS COLBERT Treadmill Patch
    (That was pulled from the market because because AB didn't have Colbert's permission.)

  • Space Shuttle Return to Flight STS-114 bracelet, lapel ribbons and cigar.

  • Russian Soyuz 7 Official Crew Patch lapel pins in original packaging

  • Discovery- STS-133 Astronaut Alvin Drew signed “Drew Crew” pre launch party gift bag. (Party happened 13 yrs ago today.)

  • Apollo 7 40th Anniversary Challenge Coin
    Made From Metal Of Spacecraft #322

  • Israeli Astronaut Ilan Ramon School Banner

  • NASA America's Historic First Space Walk Gemini 4 Medallion. (Minted with flown metal from the Gemini 4 capsule)

    ...and the centerpiece:

  • Astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch All Women Spacewalk Original Patch Prototype
    (March, 2019)

All times are CT (US)
