Many years ago, Pete Conrad signed my passport while aboard a TWA flight from LHR-LAX. I am a TWA pilot and was riding in the upper class lounge. Pete came out of the cockpit as he was deadheading on the flight and had lunch with me and my wife. We were the only three people in the lounge. He signed my passport to; "Bill with best wishes, Charles Conrad Gemmi V & XI, Apollo XII, Skylab I". Any idea of value of this? Ironically he also lived less than 50 yards from my home in Huntington Beach later before he got killed. |

Honestly, maybe about $50-$75. |

It's a great story, but probably would be worth more if it was his passport. |

Much like the guy who was selling his Apollo 13 brochure Neil Armstrong/Alan Shepard signed for him as a kid, the dollar value of what you're describing will probably never approach the value it holds to you in the experience.Just my unsolicited $0.02. |
