    This item's owner is actively responding to offers, usually within 3 days. Most owners in this category are still actively buying, and therefore interested only in offers where they can net (after our 10% fee) an amount sufficiently above today's market value. Owners in this category seldom counter-offer, and will usually simply reject offers placed at current auction values or lower.

    Description

    Apollo 10 Flown Pilot's Preference Kit (PPK) Directly from the Personal Collection of Mission Command Module Pilot John Young, Certified and Signed. A Beta cloth bag, 5.75" x 8.75" with a 2" gusset and a metal grommet in a hole at top center. A sewn-on tag has the printed information: "KIT, PILOT'S PREFERENCE/ P/N SEB 12100018-202/ S/N 1034". There is also a small 1" x 0.5" tag (apparently duct tape) with "John Young" handwritten in ink. Young has certified and signed: "My PPK. John Young" on the front. The PPK allowed the Apollo astronauts "to carry certain items of a personal nature on each manned spacecraft flight." (NASA policy statement). This kit was on board Apollo 10 on its lunar orbit mission from May 18-26, 1969. Excellent condition with some minor light soiling.

    Included with this lot is a signed Letter of Certification from John Young stating: "I hereby certify that the PPK that accompanies this letter, marked as KIT, PILOT'S PREFERENCE, P/N SEB 12100018-202, S/N 1034, is my PPK from Apollo 10, and that it was flown to the moon aboard the mission May 18-26, 1969. It has been part of my personal collection since the mission."

    You reach a customer base that is in many ways completely unknown to the major auction houses, and your marketing to this base is as professional as one could hope for. As I continue to wind down my holdings.
