A few years ago I acquired the full set of 23 printed quotes direct from and assembled by Rusty Schweickart to be taken aboard Apollo 9 for personal inspiration during the mission's 10-day expedition. Since then I have gathered together various Apollo 9 components to make up flown presentations. The pictured mock-ups shown here are based on the standard 20"x16" format and are merely suggestions.

The shipping of completed presentations is a bit of nightmare, so instead I am offering Apollo 9 fans the components they need to make up their own bespoke presentation. Namely, the flown quote of your choice annotated and signed by Rusty Schweickart, your choice from the available Novaspace 8x10 Jim McDivitt signed photos (see attached photo of those available and use grid to identify choice {ignore the Gem4 and Borman COA}) and a numbered limited edition Apollo 9 cover signed by Dave Scott (xx/250 - please identify from attached photos). Please note I am NOT offering Apollo 9 patches (4"), the one pictured is for illustration purposes only, but they are readily available.

I was waiting to offer all of this until I saw the result of the Schweickart flown quote being offered at the recent RR Auction. It's the smallest (by surface area) of the 23 quotes and it fetched US$723 (inc BP)! My asking price for these sets of components is based purely on the actual size of the flown quotes, not the subjective desirability of their content. Please note the JFK and Churchill quotes have already been spoken for. Also please note the two images of readable quotes are not from this specific collection, but the single image of all 23 quotes IS my collection, they're just not readable in this image.

I do have other full crew-signed items (covers and a few other photos) available so if there is something you'd like to do different to what's on offer here please do ask.

My asking price (excluding insured shipping worldwide) for a full set of the three components (please check the attached for specific details) is as follows:

  • Large quote (x1 = Mimi Lee) £850
  • Square quote (x2 = Browning, Wilder) £595
  • Medium rectangle quote (x2 = Douglass, Baker) £575
  • Small rectangle quote (x16 = all the rest, including Robert Kennedy) £495

These are absolutely fantastic, such a thoughtful and unique way to preserve and share the history of Apollo 9. The flown quotes are incredible on their own, but combining them with signed covers and photos makes each set feel really personal and special. Really appreciate you offering these to fellow fans!
