Alan Bean Signed 16″ x 20″ Photo With Fantastic Handwritten Detail on Exploring the Moon — “…if the edge were to give way, I would slip into the crater and be up there a long, long time…”
Alan Bean signed 16″ x 20″ lunar photo, with a vivid handwritten description by Bean of what it was like to walk and run on the moon, as well as the unexpected dangers lying in wait for the astronauts. Complete text of Bean’s inscription reads, “Running Was Easier Than Walking in the 1/6th Gravity / Running on the moon takes less energy than walking on the moon. This is because it is easier for me to move my small ankle joints than to move my much larger hip and knee joints. As I run about, I must look ahead and not step into any small craters or on any rocks and injure my ankles. Also, I cannot run too close to large craters because if the edge were to give way, I would slip into the crater and be up there a long, long time. Dancing on my tiptoes is the easiest way to move about and it’s a lot fun as well. Alan Bean / Apollo XII LMP [Lunar Module Pilot]”. Semi-matte photo measures 16″ x 20″. Some minimal smudging on inscription, otherwise near fine. Sold for $6,650.

Jack Swigert’s 14K Gold Robbins Medal Flown Aboard Apollo 13 — One of Only 2 for Each Astronaut
Jack Swigert’s personally owned Robbins medal struck in 14K gold, flown aboard Apollo 13 where he famously reported, “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” Unlike the silver Robbins medals which number over 400 for the Apollo 13 mission, this very scarce gold Robbins medal is one of only six for each of the three astronauts on the mission, with each astronaut being able to purchase up to two. Like the silver Robbins medals, the original gold medals taken on the space flight were melted down and re-cast with the new design, without the landing date and with Swigert’s name replacing Ken Mattingly. Medal depicts mission insignia, including the name of the mission, three of Apollo’s chariot horses flying toward the Moon, and the slogan ”Ex Luna, Scientia” (from the moon, knowledge). Verso lists the crew members, space modules, and engraved dates of launch and return, as well as “14K r”. Unlike the silver medals, the gold medals were not serialized but it’s known that only six or less were produced. Gold medal measures 1.25” in diameter. In near fine condition. From the estate of Jack Swigert and with an LOA from his sister. Sold for $73,500.
Extraordinarily rare Bible flown to the moon aboard Apollo 13. Complete King James microform Bible, Serial Number 13-010, originates from the Apollo Prayer League, formed with the dual goals of praying for the astronauts, and also of sending a Bible to the moon in the memory of Edward White, the astronaut who died in the Apollo 1 fire before he could fulfill that dream. Bible comes with two certificates of authenticity: one signed by the crew of Apollo 13 certifying that the Bible with serial number 13-010 flew to the moon; a second letter from the Apollo Prayer League is signed by both Commander James Lovell and also the Director of the Apollo Prayer League John M. Stout. Bible is beautifully framed in a custom presentation measuring 10.5” x 11.25”, accented with a pearl and garnet against red velvet and a gold cross. Miniaturized Bible measuring 1.5” square is centered in the presentation with ”HOLY BIBLE” at top. In beautiful, near fine condition with excellent supporting provenance. Sold for $62,500.
Jack Swigert’s 14K Gold Robbins Medal Flown Aboard Apollo 13 — One of Only 2 Given to Each Astronaut
Jack Swigert’s personally owned Robbins medal struck in 14K gold, flown aboard Apollo 13 where he famously reported, ”Houston, we’ve had a problem.” Unlike the silver Robbins medals which number over 400 for the Apollo 13 mission, this very scarce gold Robbins medal is one of only six given to the three astronauts on the mission, with each astronaut receiving two, intended for him and his wife. Like the silver Robbins medals, the original gold medals taken on the space flight were melted down and re-struck with the new design, without the landing date and with Swigert’s name replacing Ken Mattingly. Medal depicts mission insignia, including the name of the mission, three of Apollo’s chariot horses flying toward the Moon, and the slogan ”Ex Luna, Scientia” (from the moon, knowledge). Verso lists the crew members, space modules, and engraved dates of launch and return, as well as ”14K r”. Unlike the silver medals, the gold medals were not serialized but it’s known that only six were produced. Gold medal measures 1.25” in diameter, housed in its original plastic box. In lustrous, near fine condition. From the estate of Jack Swigert and with an LOA from his sister. Update to description: Up to two gold Robbins medals were made available to each member of the flight crew for purchase, but not every astronaut bought two, so the rarity of this Apollo 13 gold Robbins medal might be scarcer than 1 of 6. Sold for $31,608.
Very Scarce Collection of Four Jack Swigert Flown Apollo 13 Space Suit Patches
Exceptionally rare collection of Jack Swigert’s Apollo 13 flown spacesuit beta cloth patches. The crew endured incredible circumstances after launching 11 April 1970, when two days later, they were forced into an emergency turn-around before ever reaching the moon. Fortunately the astronauts expertly improvised a repair to the spacecraft and narrowly escaped disaster, ultimately returning safely to Earth. Beta cloth patches were designed from a material made of fireproof material woven from Teflon fibers. NASA spacesuits each featured four beta cloth patches, including a name tag, the NASA logo, mission insignia, and an American flag. All four of Swigert’s patches are intact and housed in sheaths of plastic for protection in the following order: the first depicts his last name, measuring 5” x 2”, the second depicts the traditional NASA logo, measuring 5” x 4.25”, the third, the Apollo 13 mission insignia including the name of the mission, three of Apollo’s chariot horses flying toward the Moon, and the slogan ”Ex Luna, Scientia” (”from the moon, knowledge”), measuring 4” x 4”, and the fourth, an American flag measuring 7.25” x 5.25”. Patches have some toning, particularly to edges, and a fold running vertically through American flag, though each could be removed from plastic and nicely framed. With an LOA from Swigert’s sister. Sold for $27,500.
