Source: I used to work for the Queensland State Government (Australia) selling Landsat/SPOT imagery. My boss was going to throw these in the bin around 15 years ago during renovations so I asked if I could have them. They are genuine.

Value: I'm coming to the Kennedy Space Centre soon and was looking at them on my wall and thinking I don't need to buy many souvenirs. In truth I have no idea if these are worth $0 as so common or a lot.

Welcome to collectSPACE! They have some value. For instance I would be interested in purchasing them as I have several items from Dr. Lucid. Her brother used to live next door to me and I took care of her parents home in Bethany Oklahoma before her parents passed away.

Both items have some value, but nothing you can plan your retirement on. The launch photo is worth in the ballpark of $5-$10. The signed crew photo is worth a bit more, perhaps $20-$35. The inscription on the photo reduces its potential value somewhat.

If there was any indication that those mission patches flew into space on their respective missions, then those would potentially have the greatest value, but without any documentation one must assume they were not flown in space and therefore are worth $2-$5 each.

It goes without saying that these are my opinions only and are rough estimates of value. What you can actually sell them for might be a different story.
