I have 9 NASA photos of Ed White in the Gemini Mission. Numbered S-65-29766 etc. All have the red numbers, and A Kodak Paper on the back side. In my research I'm finding that they run all over the place in value. I don't know what to do with them, cant put a value on them! Does anyone have any ideas? Can email pics if it will help. |

On eBay they tend to sell for about $225-250. I sold several directly on collectSPACE a couple of years ago for a little less to avoid seller's fees. |

The prices do vary wildly but they always sell well on eBay, as long as you make them available internationally (and try not to use eBay's overseas shipping service as it's horrendously expensive for the buyers).You could sell through an auction house but the higher fees would probably outweigh the higher sale price for items like this. |

Hey spaced out, thanks a ton. I kinda hate to break them up, they have been together forever! What would you do? Sell as a lot? And most of all, what do I ask for the set?I guess you can tell I'm apprehensive here... Again thanks for helping me on this. |

Selling as a lot I would not do. Split them up and for good reasons. - As a lot and to achieve your financial expectations based upon what you've read here (and might read elsewhere), that is one big $$ commitment.
- Some buyers might just want one or two.

I'd suggest breaking them up. They didn't originally come as a set of 9 (there were more picture taken), so you wouldn't be breaking up an historic collection, and you'd make more money. |

I agree with selling them separately. Also Chris' suggestion to make them available internationally, especially the European market. Some NASA original issue (A Kodak paper) red serial number photos have gone for amazingly high prices in the past. |

Thanks for all the help guys, this is really a neat website. I will be needing more help on a Space Shuttle collectible a little later. Have a good one! |
