I've been given as a "donation" from the original purchaser eight original prints made in 1969 by Meisel Printing in Dallas directly from Hasselblad transparencies. There is some aging but not sure if that is part of their charm or not.

I'm trying to ascertain if they are valuable and if so what value is appropriate. All I can find on search is this and these and some individual prints $150 to $250 each. But not enough to really figure out what the worth of this donation is.

Any help appreciated.

Are they in a mat of some kind? Do they say A Kodak Paper on the back and are they 8x8 inches?

They are dry matted so can't read back of paper. But they are 8x8 and the person who gave them to me will sign an affadavit they are Meisel prints from Hasselblad transparencies.

Well the fact they are Apollo 11 shots might add to their value.

I would have to say that I believe the matting only hurts the value.

Most items that are stuck to something else can sometimes be considered damaged. For example, those photo album pages with stick 'em to hold the photo. If left too long you can't get the photo out without damaging. Just my opinion.
