We’re excited to confirm that our upcoming Lunar Legacies Space Memorabilia Auction will take place Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, starting promptly at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

A few important highlights:

• Only five lots carry reserves — all other lots will sell

• All lot photos are posted; remaining descriptions will be completed shortly

• This is a timed auction, so we’re unable to accept mail-in bids

Auction order:

Miscellaneous → Mercury → Gemini → Apollo → Skylab → Shuttle → Russian

Auction links: Invaluable | AuctionZip

Most bidders are already registered, but please be sure you are registered on Invaluable or AuctionZip prior to auction day.

• There is one minute between lots, meaning this 511-lot auction will run approximately 511 minutes (about 8.5 hours). This makes it easy to determine when your lots are scheduled to come up.

• If a bid is placed with one or two minutes remaining on a lot, an additional five minutes will be added to that lot. This prevents last-second "sniping."
