Opinions of current value of the lucite piece sold by Ken Havekotte a few years ago, "From the Ground Up — To the Moon"? It includes pieces of flown Apollo 10 beta cloth, Apollo 11 kapton, and pad 39 fire brick. |

I personally think they are worthless - nothing to do with their authenticity, merely based on what I'd pay. I wouldn't give them house room even if you offered them for free. (Well you did ask.) |

In 2016, RR Auction sold one of these for $270. A year later, Goldberg auctioned one for $408. Retail wise, they fluctuated between $315 and $375.I would say today it is still in the $275 to $325 range, maybe a bit higher if offered at auction. |

Just for the record, I rarely sold any of these "From the Ground Up..." acrylics. Most were gifted to space folks and not sold. The idea for doing them was a joint endeavor. |

I've got some duct tape and some week-old bananas. Anyone interested? Seriously the Apollo 11 Lucite, I would guess a few hundred??? |

Thanks guys. Since I don't have a banana, I guess I'll start on eBay at $300 and see what happens. |
