Day one of the auction is a photo collector’s dream, boasting “thousands of rare and original NASA photographs,” according to museum collections analyst Charles Jeffrey.
“Some of these are so rare that the only place you’re going to ever get one is here,” Jeffrey said.
The collection offers both black and white and color photographs tracing the Apollo program from rare early drawings to the final moon landing mission of Apollo 17.
The images include Buzz Aldrin’s famous visor shot from the lunar surface and in-flight photographs, many of which have been signed by members of the Apollo crews.
Opening bids start as low as $20 to $50.
The final bids for the photographs are expected to hit $100 to $200 each, with proceeds going to the Space Museum.
