I'm wondering if anyone can advise on the value/use of a large litho set I purchased at an estate sale in Houston in 2007. Lithos aren't something I've really bee up on so I don't know quite what I've got.
This was in a torn cover folder with a NASA Routing Slip note indicating they were a memento from one employee at JSC to someone they used to car pool with.
There are 64 lithos focused almost exclusively on Apollo, with particular emphasis on the later missions and Skylab. It contains complete crew lithos for all missions Apollo 7 to ASTP (except Apollo 11, which I've used for a framed presentation), plus group intake photos with printed signatures.
I'm looking to on sell this as I reduce my collection but just want to confirm what I actually have.

A few dollars each. The LLTV however can be worth quite a bit and is not one seen anywhere near as often as the others.
It's a great starter pack for those wishing to collect lithos from that period.

They are pre-prints. NASA issued the lithos with the signatures printed with the photo.
