One of RR Auction's specializations and proudest achievements is developing the category of space memorabilia and everything otherworldly. In addition to dedicated space sections in each of our monthly auctions, we host at least two Space and Aviation sales each year.
RR Auction has quickly become the go-to auction house for astronauts and their families to sell artifacts from their personal collections including Charlie Duke, Dave Scott, and Wally Schirra. We were chosen by Blue Origin and Jeff Bezos to auction the first seat on their rocket New Shepard's first ever crewed flight – which sold for an astronomical $28 million. We've auctioned flown artifacts, astronaut autographs, rocket hardware, vintage photographs, and even meteorites. Our collectors covet anything to do with them all!
Past space sales have seen high ticket items go for hundreds of thousands of dollars: Scott Carpenter’s fully-functioning Mercury-Atlas 7 clock; a signed photograph of Neil Armstrong taking the ‘giant leap’; Buzz Aldrin’s Apollo 11 lunar flown communion personal preference kit; Charlie Duke’s Apollo 16 lunar surface-used moon rock scoop; Wally Schirra’s 18K gold Omega Speedmaster Professional 1969 Apollo 11 commemorative watch; Edgar Mitchell's Apollo 14 Flown Rolex GMT-Master 'Pepsi' Watch; and much more.
