I wanted to share a couple items to gain your thoughts. As you can see, both are personal items to Apollo Food System team lead Rita Rapp. I wanted to have others weigh in on these, as well as the signatures, as I'm out of practice on autopens. Do we know the rarity of these particular flags? I've found a similar Apollo 16 that went to auction but I don't believe it sold. Thanks for you help.

Apollo 16 flag on identical certificate but with very faded signatures and damage to the side sold for $6,875 in May of last year. One month earlier, one with spotty discoloration sold for $4,429. I found a few identical Apollo-Soyuz flags, all but one of which sold for under $1000. Gene Cernan's sold for $3000.

The signatures look good, not autopens. |
