I have been trying to find information on this collector's plate, but I cant find any information anywhere on the internet. A different website said I should ask the experts over here.This plate was given to me with no information. Does anyone know anything about them? Any information would be appreciated. Also, if there is an estimated value, I would appreciate that too.  |

I have one of these plates. On the back of mine is printed: Dedicated to the memory of the 7 "Challenger" Astronauts. We bid you goodbye, but we will never forget you. It then has a poem called "THE AMERICAN WAY!" copyright 1986 Linda Metcalfe Limited Edition
(#) 437 (in gold paint script)/25,000 platesManufactured by CREATIVE CERAMICS, Van Nuys, CA. Part of the proceeds from the sale of this plate go to the "Space Shuttle Children's Fund A relative bought it at a thrift store for a couple of bucks. Given that, and the number produced, I don't think it's worth very much. |

I believe that the vast majority of modern collector's plates have very little value to them, other than display value for the owner. There are exceptions, of course. But since the Challenger plate is rarely, if ever, discussed here, one might assume that the demand for such a plate among space collectors is relatively low. | |
