It was a nice surprise to see the advertisements for collectSPACE and "Marketing the Moon" in the auction catalog. |

Thanks for noticing on the ad for "Marketing the Moon"! It was an honor to be part of the catalog for such a historic sale as the first Hasselblad in space. |

collectSPACE Parking space: Gemini spacecraft lands at auction, escapes parking ticketA mockup of a 1960's space capsule that was used by NASA for ground tests is set to sell for more than $20,000 — parking fees not included. The 9.5-foot-tall (3-meter) Gemini spacecraft, which is part of RR Auction's week-long space sale ending on Thursday (Nov. 20), narrowly escaped officers giving it a ticket when it was parked in a loading zone outside the Boston auction house's salesroom on Sunday. "I had to talk my way out of a parking ticket!" wrote Bobby Livingston, RR Auction's executive vice president, in an e-mail to collectSPACE.  |

Amazing... a similar Sieger cover went for 8000 Euro just two weeks ago at Felzman at the original offering estimate — no bidding.The RR description was a bit misleading. There were quite a few (15+) sold over here in Europe in the past 20 years, I have handled four covers alone and most came with the appropriate paperwork, this was not the first with original offering as described. In fact I still have a complete set sitting here.  |

The Skylab flown brass flashlight (at $4839) also opened my eyes a bit. |

$10000+ for an uninscribed Irwin WSS litho must be a new record. |

This is really making me stay away from auction houses except Donnis and Lunar Legacies. |

Certainly a great day for the consigners. I ended up batting .000 as a buyer. |

I think there were a handful of items that went at reasonable prices. But there was a lot of insane purchases here if you ask me - but then, it is a buyers market. Predictable doesn't come into the equation. |

I was very pleased to get the 51L Robbins for $2000 and the Bassett letter for about $350 plus commision on both items. Very surprised and pleased they did not sell for more. Thanks... |
