My mother-in-law has a patch from the Apollo 13 mission, with a signed letter from Jim Lovell authenticating it as one that was with him on the mission. Where can find what the value of it is?

I looked on eBay, and what I found there were not on the actual mission with the astronauts.

About four bucks on e-bay. How can you authenticate the letter ? Were your mother-in-law and Jim Lovell friends ? Sixty minutes did a show on sports memorabilia and when they talked to the experts, about 98% of the items with certificates of authenticity were bogus.

That's an Apollo 11 patch, not Apollo 2. Apollo 2 was an unmanned test flight and had no patch. As to if it's worth anything, no. Patches like that have been sold in gift shops around the world for years. The ones that are worth anything are the ones that were flown, and they, as far as I know, are still sewn into the spacesuits of the crew. Cheers, the 'patch' on the Wikipedia page is the overall Apollo emblem. It was not specific to any particular flight.

I'd give you $50 for it.
