I just came across a NASA publication of the "Final Flight Plan Apollo 8" dated Nov 22, 1968 (its in a light blue cover). Can anyone give me an idea of how rare this item is and what it might be worth. I am not familiar with these publications. Thanks.

Apollo flight plans can vary quite a bit in price (and I'm not sure about Apollo 8 relative to lunar landing missions), but I would say ~$200-250 would be the lower end and go up from there. Some missions can go for much more (Apollo 11 of course).

Other than Apollo 11 and maybe Apollo 13, I would say a ball park price for most Apollo final flight plans in nice shape is more like $300-400.

Again, I'm not certain about the specific rarity of Apollo 8 (1st manned flight to the moon) but I do own several from other missions and that has been my experience.

I'm sure you'll get several opinions and I'd also be interested in what other think as well.

I've got a couple of these and they were in the $200-350 range. Nice for signing.
I don't think they are that rare but they are collectible - especially in good condition.
