RR Auction
is proud to hold some quite impressive records in the world of collectibles,
memorabilia and auction houses. Apart from being one of the most reliable and
worldwide recognized provider of rare historical artifacts, manuscripts,
documents and autographs, the company also prides itself in being able to set
some records when it comes to the value of the available items.
For
instance, when talking about space exploration, RR Auction definitely has a lot
to pride itself in, especially since most of the artifacts they have sold over
time have come from the original owners or have come with authenticity letters
from them. This has obviously increased the value of the collectibles and made
it possible for RR Auction to become a record holder in terms of the value of
items sold.
One of
these impressive sales took place back in 2014 when they auctioned off a
rotational hand controller from the Apollo 15 flown lunar module. This artifact
was sold for no less than $610,000 which was an obvious all time high not only
for the auction company, but for the world of space exploration collectors as
well. It is actually believed that this artifact got the highest price ever paid for a single part of a
NASA spacecraft during a public auction.
However, RR
Auction is no stranger to record breaking selling prices for their artifacts,
memorabilia and autographs. It was only last year when a Zeiss lens used on the lunar surface by Dave
Scott was sold for $453,000, which is yet another impressive record. One of the
main reasons why this item was so highly evaluated is the fact that it came
with a very detailed letter of provenance from Dave Scott himself. Needless to
say, this letter further increased the value of the artifact and made it even
more appealing to collectors worldwide.
Surprising
as it may seem, another highly valuable space exploration item sold by RR
Auction is a cuff checklist worn and used by the same David Scott. The lunar
surface extravehicular activity was sold for a staggering $364,000.
It might
seem like RR Auction has a knack for finding highly valuable and incredibly
rare space exploration memorabilia. Then again, this is a field that is utterly
popular and that collectors worldwide are interested in. Regardless the case,
it’s good to know that you have an auction house that guarantees to provide
collector with the rarest, most unique and interesting items from a certain
field of interest!
