My birthday is July 20th, so I have collected a lot of Apollo stuff over the years, we are now downsizing and its time to part ways with my collections.

I have a collection of Paul Calle prints. They are all numbered #10 starting with the Air Mail 10-cent stamp artist proof #10, the "Grand Moment" artist proof #10, the boot print artist proof #10, all of the Apollo 11 suit up prints, #10 of 250, all signed by Paul Calle, two of them are signed by Mike Collins, one is signed by Buzz Aldrin and the center piece of the collection is the Air and Space Armstrong signed in pencil by both Calle and Armstrong, #10 of 1000.

There is a total of ten black and white prints and the one color "Grand Moment" canvas. All have Calle's signature and four have Apollo 11 astronaut signatures. Also there is a photo of the Saturn V launching Apollo 11 that has all four flight controllers signatures.

The Air and Space Armstrong includes the separate description print and original envelope. All of the suit up and artist proof prints were purchased from Chris Calle, including the two Collins signature ones. Aldrin signed his print when I contacted him and sent it to him. There is a photo of him signing the actual print as a COA.

All these are framed and have been displayed in my home, conditioned space in my hallway out of sunlight.

My thought was to put this up on Heritage Auctions, but wanted to reach out to the community here to see what the thoughts are on the value of this collection and if there is interest from anyone in purchasing it?

All times are CT (US)
