When I used to collect baseball collectibles, we used a term called "super collectors" to describe people who collected items only on one particular player, or team.Is anyone out there a space super collector? Do you only collect one particular astronaut or mission? Brag about your collection here! |

I wouldn't call myself a "super collector" but I do have a number of items from Pete Conrad. He has always been one of my favorites and it wasn't until I started thinking about this question that I realized that I have a number of items connected to him.
First, I have some flown systems pages from GT-5 that came from Conrad.
Second, a GT-11 flown patch from Conrad. I also have a flown Penlight/Flashlight from GT-11.
Next, I have the flight suit that Conrad wore during his training flights in the LLTV before Apollo 12.
Finally, I have one of the backpack straps from Conrad's PLSS that he used on the Moon during Apollo 12.
While I collect items from all the missions that I can, the ones from Pete Conrad's missions mean a great deal to me.
Take care everyone,
Leon | |
