Once back on Earth, the flags were mounted to 11 by 14 inch certificates that were inscribed:

This Apollo 11 25th anniversary flag was flown aboard the Orbiter "Columbia" STS-65, July 8-23, 1994 in commemoration of America's first Lunar Landing Mission.

Today, these flown flags can sell for $50 to $1,000, depending on several factors. An example sold on eBay made out to a member of the NASA workforce sold for $50. The display presented to flight director Chris Kraft sold for $937.50 at Heritage Auctions in 2021. Those appear to be the two extremes.

The one I am offering here comes from astronaut Winston Scott's collection. He sold it, along with several other items, at an estate sale a number of years ago. I no longer have a good place to display it in my collection, so I am offering it here.

I am asking $250 plus shipping, given its provenance. Payment by PayPal (F&F if acceptable). You can have it in your hands before Apollo 11's 55th anniversary if acted on soon.
