A friend of mine has inherited a complete set of Apollo patches from a relative that worked at NASA in Greenbelt, MD. They are presented in a frame under glass. As a novice, if these were indeed original vintage patches, like to know the approximate value for insurance purposes. |

It needs to be verified first, so a picture would help ascertain if they're run of the mill or otherwise. |

If it is indeed a complete set that would be an amazing collection. I have been working on mine for a number of years and I am still missing the Apollo 15 crew patch. Could you take a photograph of the collection and post it here? I would love to see it. |

A complete set of vintage regular AB Emblem 4" patches from the time would be worth maybe $5 to $15 per patch (less if mounted). If there are a few of the rare crew varieties in there then the value will be higher.If you post a picture or a link to a picture we can tell you what you have. |
