Owner has a potential interest in selling these. Need to provide her with a valuation estimate. Any thoughts from the group? These are in person signatures obtained by a member of the crew onboard the recovery platforms.

I do know GT-10 is a very hard to find cover. To frame with John Young's GT-10 Flightline medallion I paid Ed Gibson $1,000 for his GT-10 Cover. It was expensive but a great cover.

A friend of mine who is into covers agrees with Chuckster with regards to the GT-10 cover.

With regards to the GT-11 cover he mentioned that launch day covers are fairly common (he got one in an RR auction in 2016 for the minimum bid of $200). The recovery force cover is probably worth more because less covers were cancelled on the recovery ship than at the Cape.

The Gemini 11 cover is not just a Recovery Ship cover, but a prized Captain's cover. And a very unusual version as well. Normally the signatures on Gemini 11 Captain's covers are printed. This is one of only 2 or 3 I've seen without the printed signatures but with original signatures. And to add to that it has a ship's cachet which is very unusual for a Captain's cover. A very remarkable combination! I would much prefer to have this cover than the Gemini 10 cover.

Sorry I can't help you on prices.
