What's the current value of a moon orbit flown American flag with astronaut provenance? Also a signed surface flown checklist page? Thank you. |

A decent amount BUT which missions, which astronauts? |

I'd say a "it will actually sell" price for them would be around $1500-2000 for the flag (if it's 4x6) and $2500-3000 for the checklist page. |

Thanks. Does anyone think the anniversary of the moon landings will bring more exposure and value? Where can you buy these items? |

From past experience I can say that a special occasion such as a mission anniversary has no bearing on value. This type of item can be found being sold by several retailers and occasionally auctions. |

Wasn't Al Worden selling orbital flown flags through Farthest Reaches for $2600 a pop, and Charlie Duke something similar? I think Charlie will also include a photo of him with the piece if you ask him. |

The American flags are more expensive and harder to find than foreign or state flags.Charlie Duke has only one flag remaining, a New Jersey flag currently featured on Farthest Reaches. In addition to farthest Reaches, Nate Sanders also had a lot of Worden's flags too (Worden told me he donated all his state flags, so I think country flags are all you'll find). Alan Bean may have some of his 2 1/4 x 3 1/2 American flag patches remaining and some larger sized American flags. |
