Rudolf Spoor covered NASA for Dutch media throughout the middle part of the century. With his press credentials, he had access to the people and facilities of the space program, but Rudolf's enthusiasm for exploration was as keen as his instinct to collect.

Over forty years, Rudolf amassed more than 1,200 original NASA photographs, in addition to collecting NASA publications, souvenirs and other ephemera. Many of his NASA photographs are signed, as is the collection’s centerpiece: a NASA helmet signed by thirty-two astronauts, technicians, and scientists from the program, including Dr. Wernher von Braun, Terry White, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Eugene Cernan, James Lovell, and others.

Also, there are dozens of Apollo lithos and 1970s-80s 8x10s with estimates of $500-800 each, when identical ones are available online for under $20. I'm just saying, if those estimates are accurate I have a three-ring binder full of them I could buy a small house with.
