Since 1970 when I received my first batch of mission patches from AB Emblem, I have enjoyed building a collection and following these exciting first explorations off our planet. I had dreams of becoming a historian chronicling those missions in an encyclopedic collection of scrapbooks.
In the 1990's that became too overwhelming to continue so I scaled back my efforts to collect crew photos and mission patches purchased as soon as they were available.
Beginning in 2004 I was very fortunate to finally get to work with astronauts to help them design their mission patches and it has been an amazing ride. I still hope to have an Artemis crew wear one of my creations to the Moon one day.
But the time has come to offer these items to others. I have curated the patches I helped create for my two grandsons but have decided to offer the rest of my collection (save for some special, personal items) for sale via our eBay store. |

There are a few more listings up now and way more to come. We've adjusted the prices, too. |

I will soon be listing my signed and numbered Apollo 7 patches that I worked on with Walt Cunningham on our eBay Store.They are both #1 of the series. It's time to give them a new home. My friend is gone but I have the photos and memories.  |

- Russian Soyuz 7 Official Crew Patch lapel pins in original packaging
- Discovery- STS-133 Astronaut Alvin Drew signed “Drew Crew” pre launch party gift bag. (Party happened 13 yrs ago today.)

- NASA America's Historic First Space Walk Gemini 4 Medallion. (Minted with flown metal from the Gemini 4 capsule)
...and the centerpiece: - Astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch All Women Spacewalk Original Patch Prototype
