Are photos from North American Aviation-Rockwell much less valuable than their NASA counterparts?
They're not numbered, but printed on "A Kodak Paper."

I've found that most folks care much less about contractor photos than NASA equivalent ones.

I beg to differ. A vintage print of the Apollo 11 "visor" shot on A KODAK PAPER but with no NASA id will still sell for a whole lot of money these days.
The presence of a NASA number might boost the value by a few percentage but it's the content of the vintage print itself that is the most important aspect.

Thank you. I've just obtained my first NASA "red numbered" photo; according to Florian Noller (Artifact Cloud) it should be from Richard Underwood's collection. Should I request letter of provenance/COA?
Was aiming for the "Visor" and other iconic photos as well, but they quickly went out of my price range. I'm also a fan of Omega Speedmaster, which is clearly visible in the photo.
