Gold-Plated Apollo 11 Robbins Medallion Replicas

Image
 ($125 each) This listing is for an Apollo 11 Robbins Medallion restrike, which has been plated in 24K gold. These are custom-finished. When these were originally released, I wanted a gold version like the ones the crew carried to the lunar surface. However, the only gold options were solid gold, with a very high price tag to match. So I decided to have one gold-plated instead. It's easier to get these done in batches, and I figured I wouldn't be the only one interested in one; so I got a batch of 10 made. These started out as regular copper medallions. Each one was first polished to give it a shinier surface. Normally I polish medallions using a dremel tool, but in this case I didn't want a uniformly shiny finish. Armstrong's gold medallion has a sort of hand-polished look. The raised surfaces look shinier than the surface below, and there's an aged look to it. I wanted to get closer to that, so I polished these by hand, focusing on the raised surfaces. That left t...

Space Shuttle Columbia - Flown Spacelab Insulation Blanket Fragment

Image
 ($100 each) This listing is for a 1" x 3" multi-layer segment of Spacelab HPI insulation blanket, which was flown aboard Space Shuttle Columbia . This mission was significant for several reasons. It was the maiden voyage of Spacelab. It was the first NASA flight in partnership with the European Space Agency, who helped develop Spacelab and included Ulf Merbold as their representative on the crew. And it was the final spaceflight of John Young, the most prolific astronaut in history. As seen in the NASA photos here, the Spacelab module was covered in thermal insulation blankets to prevent it from solar radiation. After the flight, astronaut Ulf Merbold was given one of the blankets as a souvenir, in gratitude for his contribution to the program. This segment was cut from that blanket. The blanket was crafted using nearly 20 layers, all of which are still included. There's a cloth layer on top, followed by a thick foil layer, then over 15 layers of thin foil, a...

Annihilation - Original Prop DNA Swab used by Natalie Portman

Image
 ($150) This listing is for an original screen-used prop from the film Annihilation . This is a swab used by Natalie Portman to take a DNA sample from the mutated alligator that attacks her crew within the Shimmer. I've attached a few screenshots of the film for reference. Earlier this year, Paramount Pictures auctioned off the major props/costumes from this film. I won this item directly from this auction. It came as part of a set of three swabs. All three are identical, so it's not possible to know which of them was seen on screen. But the seals have been broken on all three, and there are equal signs of water/wear on the labels. So it would appear that Natalie used all three of these, for different takes. The original COA is not included, but I will include a color photocopy of it. US Shipping for this item is $6. International Shipping is $21. Thank you for viewing this listing!   Back to Main Store Page

Jimmy Carter - Signed Bookplate

Image
($125)   This listing is for a bookplate which has been hand-signed by President Jimmy Carter. President Carter signed stacks of these to be given to bookstores during publishing tours. This one is unused, with the original backing. So you can affix it to a book of your choice, or it'd look great matted and framed with a photo. As an added bonus, I had this signature authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services, the most trusted authenticator in the industry. And I paid extra to get a Letter of Authenticity, in order to prevent having a sticker on the item. By default, authentication companies will certify signatures by adding a sticker to the item with a serial number. But I think those stickers look horrible, especially on a white bookplate like this. So I paid extra to get a full LOA instead, with the sticker on the letter rather than the item. The winner will receive the exact items in the photos, so please refer to those for a closer look. US Shipping for this item is $5. ...

Alejandro Jodorowky - Signed Screenplay

Image
 ($700) This listing is for a screenplay for Santa Sangre , which has been personally signed by filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky. These signed screenplays were produced exclusively for an IndieGoGo campaign in 2018, created by Mr. Jodorowsky to raise money for his latest film. eBay is full of forged signatures, so this a rare opportunity to get an autograph that you can be certain is genuine. These were produced by Mr. Jodorowsky himself, and every copy was signed. This is a hardcover book that measures roughly 9" x 6". It's never been read. It has a few bumps from shipping, and the cover doesn't close perfectly, as shown in the last photo (it's just the nature of the binding). But overall it's in great shape. The winner will receive the exact item in the photos, so please refer to those for a closer look. US Shipping for this item is $5. International Shipping is $25 (depending on the country, additional Import/VAT fees may be charged by your loca...
