Author	Topic: Availability of Ron Evans signed photos
jemmy Member Posts: 183 From: Registered: Dec 2010	posted 01-30-2012 10:08 AM Just wondering how rare a Ron Evans unpersonilised signed photo is (non WSS)? I have seen an Apollo 17 Evans EVA for sale but it was for sale for well over $1500 from a dealer. Would have really liked to purchase it but don't have that type of cash. Just waiting till I see the right one at the right price.

I would think under $1000 would get you any kind of Ron Evans photo you could want-portrait litho or EVA. Obviously a higher end auction setting might bring more. They're not easy to locate.

I am aware that Evans passed away in 1990 but prior to that how prevalent was Evans signing? I am sure there is a lot of Evans signed photos in private hands but amazingly the most amount of signed items I have come across is VHS tapes.

I haven't seen another uninscribed one for sale since. There was a thread a few years back about the relative rarity of uninscribed Apollo WSS, with Evans, Irwin and Roosa towards the top. Luckily I snagged all three plus an uninscribed Swigert WSS 8-10 yrs ago.
