Author	Topic: Value of flown Apollo and Shuttle Flags
TRS Member Posts: 721 From: Wellington, New Zealand Registered: Mar 2003	posted 05-04-2016 07:04 PM I've looked on eBay and other auctions but nothing there so any ideas on value for: Walt Cunningham signed (on the flag) Apollo 7 flown U.S. flag in a framed presentation including crew signed cover. Paul Weitz presentation signed and text (not personalised) STS-6 Challenger maiden flight flown US flag. STS-26 NASA flown flag presentation. All framed to archival standard including UV and non-reflective glass. Thanks for any help.

High grade preservation framing will add at least $200-300. Mediocre framing, possible $150-200. STS-26 and Apollo 7 are much easier to find. Apollo 7 you can get directly from Walt Cunningham. STS-26 tends to pop up on auctions from time to time anywhere from $300-600 depending on condition, and if it has other flown items with it (for example, I have two from TDRS that include flown patches).

fredtrav Member Posts: 1673 From: Birmingham AL Registered: Aug 2010	posted 05-22-2016 12:09 PM I would guess $350-400. Maybe. STS-3 flags go for around $275. A Paul Weitz flown STS-6 flag from his collection sold at auction for around $500 (RR). So the seller got around $380 for it.
