<p>[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 1801425, member: 57463"]Heritage is running an auction now in their History section. I downloaded the pdf of the catalog, but I have an older catalog in hard copy.

There's a ton of spaceflown materials out there and enough other stuff to, well heck, start a space program. I have about 25 Shuttle mission packets with photos and patches. In fact, I put on my own flight jacket, patches from the two missions I actually worked as a contractor.
