I have an 8x10 purchased from the Flight Test Historical Foundation several years ago. It is signed by X-15 pilots Knight, Thompson, White, Armstrong, Engle, Crossfield and Dana. Considering selling it.

Can anyone give me an idea as to it's value? I will send you a pic if you're interested via email. Thanks!

I have had a couple different versions of these photos signed at the fly in fundraisers over the years. Excluding the "smudged" ones these sell for $2000 if you're lucky but more often they bring closer to $2500 plus.

The best way to determine value is check RR Auction and Heritage auction archives. Then deduct 30% if you are planning a direct sale.

Going back to February of 2008 the only one of these sold was the X-15 sitting on the lake bed. It sold in 2015 for 2475.73 with buyers fees included.
