![]() To each their own, but to me, Young's writing - even on the back - detracts from the value of the lucite. That is why John Young signed his on the back "From my personal collection." Lucites can easily be reproduced.īut this one was sold by Lunar Legacies, along with a large number of her items, so it is from Shannon Lucid.Īny thoughts on the value of Young's lucite? Just having a name printed on a presentation doesn't signify actual delivery to the intended recipient.ĭo we think these were encapsulated in house or did NASA contract out for their production after providing the tile samples to the vendor? Who do you think received Shannon Lucid's presentation? There were many of these lucites given out to NASA employees. ![]() ![]() Assuming that exists, the $550 is not unreasonable given comps from recent Lucid sold items. Hopefully there is a tangible artifact documenting her ownership so the claim is not subsequently contested if the lucite is resold/auctioned. If I recall correctly, this piece was originally sold by one of Shannon Lucid's family members along with other items from her collection.Ĭool. What is the supporting provenance that this was actually presented to her? Given that it was previously owned by Shannon, is $550 a reasonable price for it? I've seen others go anywhere from $200 (in 2010), to over $900 more recently (ex-Alan Bean, signed). I recently acquired an STS-1 flown tile lucite, which had been previously presented to Shannon Lucid.
