A collection of rare autographs and memorabilia, including a
spacesuit from Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, is being
auctioned for more than $62,000, according to the Tyler
Morning Telegraph in Texas.
According to records, Collins wore the NASA flight suit in the
days and months following his return to Earth with the Apollo
11 mission in July 1969.
The suit was removed from his personal locker just six months
after the historic flight following his retirement from NASA in
January 1970.
Other highlights of the auction include a love letter from Elizabeth
Taylor to Richard Burton, with a starting price of $44,000, James
Dean’s high school yearbook, signed by the actor, with a starting
price of nearly $12,000 and a set of Beatles autographs from 1963, starting at over $12,500.
