Space memorabilia collectors specialise in different areas of collecting. They may be particularly fascinated by the first moves of mankind to leave Earth's atmosphere and go into orbit, they might specialise in the disaster that wasn't, Apollo 13, or just aim to collect pieces from all 12 moonwalkers.
However, a particular piece of autographed memorabilia which has just come onto the market is likely to fascinate almost anyone interested in space exploration: an Apollo Reunion Poster multi-signed by 25 Apollo Astronauts.
This incredible piece has more Apollo Signatures on a single item than any other piece we've come across this year. Seventeen of the signatures were applied on July 16, 1986 at the Apollo Reunion in Washington DC.
Dave Scott, John Young, Ed Mitchell, Tom Stafford, Fred Haise, Jim McDivitt and Frank Borman were then added at later signings and events.
