A great item for the fan of Apollo 13 is this red numbered prime crew photo S69-62224 showing the original crew with command module pilot Ken Mattingly but signed by last minute replacement John "Jack" Swigert.

This is the only such example I have ever seen with Swigert's signature over the wrong image. A truly rare find.

For the photo collector or dealer, here are about 1500 authentic NASA press release photos from Apollo 11 to 17. It is not often that so many press photos are offered in one lot.

How about a hard to find STS-95 Vehicle Integration Test Team (VITT) photograph with the entire crew including John Glenn. This is an awesome image.

Likely user error but is there a way to view the items from Tom Stafford’s collection using the search? I can’t seem to locate them.

It appears the personal item from Stafford is lot 169, which includes a cover that was addressed to the general and his wife.

There are also three other lots offering Stafford's autograph.

All times are CT (US)
