I have a bunch of Apollo mission patches that I got from an old Apollo contractor. I know some are worth more than others. I would love any help in evaluating them. Below are a couple of examples of what I have. Thanks.

The Apollo program patch looks to have a bare cloth back (no plastic or wax coating) which means it's a vintage version. This may be worth a couple of dollars.

The Apollo 13 patch is a 3" version of the mission patch and has a plastic coating on the reverse which means it's not vintage. This is worth a few cents.

I would love any opinions as whether this 8" Apollo patch and Skylab 2 Wives patch are vintage, and if they are, what their value would be. I believe both came from a collection I bought from someone who worked for an old Apollo contractor.

You can go to Chris Spain's Crew Patches website and get all your questions answered. Also I believe your 3" Apollo 13 patch is vintage and is not plastic coated backing.
