elcome to our summer 2015 Space & Collectibles Public Auction. The auction is being held online at 11am (Central Time) on Wednesday June 3, 2015. Our philatelic sale will be held June 6-7th at the NAPEX stamp show in Washington, D.C. All viewing for Space and Collectibles will take place in St. Louis only and features live, online bidding, as well as bids executed by telephone, fax and by mail. When we begin putting together a Space and Collectibles auction, we’re never exactly sure where the road will lead us, since we don’t know what type of material will be consigned, but one thing we're always confident about is the fact we will have a varied and valuable sale! In Space, you’ll find much of interest, as well as historical significance. For example, Lot 108 features an important piece of U.S. space history, Ed White’s NASA Distinguished Service Medal and original certificate. This is the highest award NASA can bestow upon an astronaut. Another fabulous original space artifact is Lot 109. This is the complete original FLOWN re-entry checklist for Gemini 5, originally owned by Pete Conrad. Much of the writing on the checklist is in Conrad’s hand, but it is also signed by Gordon Cooper. This is an amazing opportunity to own something that is rarely ever seen. Another rare opportunity includes obtaining items from the collection of one of our featured consignors, Tom Brownell. Tom has been associated in one way or another with the space program for 45 years, including holding senior positions with Boeing, Martin Marietta, Lockheed Martin and more. He attended many launches and knew a number of astronauts. Part of his collection was the “Apollo to the Moon” display at the National Air & Space Museum for more than 30 years. Lot 371 (multiple signed NASA lithos), for example, was the key part of the astronaut portion, where the items were seen by millions of visitors. This was THE exhibit (and is documented). Tom’s additional pieces are designated as “ex-Brownell.” You’ll also find autographs of Charles Lindbergh (Lots 18, 19 & 23), Orville Wright (Lot 20), Richard Bong (Lot 27) and many other aviators and astronauts, not to mention a whopping 24 different Robbins Medallions! We also have a varied selection of other Collectibles and historical Documents. A standout here is a 1963 Beatles photo signed by all Fab Four (Lot 534). In terms of Judaica historical artifacts, Lot 589 is hard to beat. It’s an extremely rarely sold “Righteous Among the Nations” medal (with all documentation), awarded to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jewish people during the Holocaust. Most are closely kept in families. Finally, in our Sports section, we have some great material, but there are 4 stand-outs in particular. Lots 812-15 each feature a block of 1939 Baseball stamps with 4 signatures each. The signers are none other than Babe Ruth (812), Cy Young (813), Ty Cobb (814) and Tris Speaker (815). Each comes with a PSA/DNA COA! As always, viewing and live bidding are available 24/7 at www.RegencySuperior.com. Lot viewing is available at our St. Louis gallery until the sale.

Bidding Guidelines for Coins, Sports & Autographs coin CatALOGs

Estimates In addition to the catalog value, 'estimates' are listed for each lot. You will find the estimates more reflective of the current market, and what you can reasonably expect to pay for a lot. You may, of course, bid higher or lower than the estimates. You may also speak with a lot describer for a more detailed description of a particular lot. Please call at least 72 hours prior to the sale (the earlier, the better). Remember, a Public Auction is not an approval service, lots are not returnable unless misdescribed.

Limits You may limit your total purchases by simply indicating the amount on your bidding form. This way, for example, you can bid on $5,000 worth of lots, but limit your purchases to $1,000. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order. Bids on specially desired lots over and beyond your limit may be added to your purchase if you indicate they are to be excluded from your limit.

'OR' Bids You may bid on several similar lots with the assurance that you will purchase only one of them. Simply place an 'OR' between the bids submitted on the lots involved, and we will buy the first 'OR' lot for you, and void the rest. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order, so you may not indicate a preference for one lot over another.

The finest quality possible, with no evidence of scratches, handling or contact with other coins. Very few regular-issue coins are ever found in this condition.

GT-4 1969 ED WHITE’S NASA DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEDAL & CERTIFICATE .......................... PH $9000-12,000

Ed White’s NASA “Distinguished Service Medal” and Service Medal Certificate (framed to 12"x15"). This is the highest award that is given by NASA and can be given to any federal employee including military members, but is not a military award. The award was given to Ed White in honor of his contributions to the Gemini 4 mission. Ed White also received the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1969 for his service in space exploration. The crew of Apollo 1 of which White was a member were each given this rare honor. Ed White’s Congressional Medal was sold in a Regency Superior sale in 2007 realizing a hammer price of $80,000. It is our distinct honor and pleasure to present Ed White’s NASA Distinguished Service Medal and Certificate in this sale. This is the first time that the medal and the certificate have been united since both were part of the astronaut Ed White II Family collection. The medal and ribbon combined length is 3¼” with the medal reading “DISTINGUISHED SERVICE NASA” on obverse and “EDWARD H. WHITE” engraved on the reverse. The medal is accompanied by two lapel pins, one that matches the design of the medal and the other matches the color scheme of the ribbon. All housed in the original 4¼”x4¼”x1½” presentation case with “DISTINGUISHED SERVICE/ MEDAL” in gold letters on the case top. The multicolor illuminated Certificate reads, in part: “NASA awards to Edward H. White II (posthumously) the NASA Distinguished Service Medal for professional skill, courage and dedication to duty in Project Apollo. He gave his life in his country’s historic undertaking to realize the goal of landing men on the moon and returning them safely to earth.” The Certificate is signed by T. Paine, NASA Administrator. Thus not only was Ed White awarded this honor for being the first US astronaut to walk in space but also for his bravery and sacrifice in the Apollo 1 tragedy. An exceptional opportunity to acquire an important part of the history of space exploration. Ex-astronaut Ed White II Family collection. (800) 782-0066 • www.RegencySuperior.com

GT-5 1965 COMPLETE FLOWN RE-ENTRY CHECK LIST, ANNOTATED BY BOTH, SIGNED BY COOPER .............................................................................................................................. PH $25,000-35,000

Carried on board the Gemini 5 Mission, used and annotated by both mission commander Gordon Cooper and pilot Pete Conrad (and previously owned by Conrad). Checklist consists of 19 double-sided heavy card stock 3¼"x8" pages bound by a single metal ring, numbered 'CF55047-2 S/N 51.' Most of the checklist pages were annotated by Conrad himself during the actual space voyage. Among the procedures included in the checklist are 'Mode II Abort, Insertion Checklist' (filled in and notated by Cooper); 'Power Up Check list'; and post-landing and water egress checklists, with one page notated, 'Remove shirt sleeves, Dollar Bills, PPKs, Log Book, Flight Plan, Re-Entry Book.' Signed on the reverse of the last page, 'Gordon Cooper, Gemini 5 CDR.' Bold signature. Most of the black pen writing is in Conrad's hand. As mentioned, this flown list was owned by Pete Conrad and was first sold by Odyssey auctions in 1994. The Gemini 5 mission launched Aug 21, 1965, and splashdown occurred Aug 29, 1965, and carried both Cooper and pilot Charles 'Pete' Conrad. Problems with both the maneuvering system and fuel cells, plus the failure of the electrical system to deploy their 'rendezvous pod' prompted Conrad to later refer to the mission as 'Eight days in a garbage can.' Nevertheless, the mission did demonstrate that rendezvous of two spacecraft was feasible, paving the way for an important phase of the future Apollo program. GT-5 was the third manned Gemini spaceflight of 10 flown from 1965-66. It was the longest-duration manned spaceflight to date and the first to use fuel cells for electric-power generation in space. Consignor, who worked with Conrads with their first space auction, had hoped to get his signature to accompany Cooper's, but Conrad's untimely death in 1999 prevented that from happening. An amazing flown item of the type very rarely ever available, with flawless provenance. Accompanied by Ken Havekotte COA. St. Louis, Missouri • ‘LIVE’ Internet Auction

2008 RUSSIAN ROCKET ANGARA-5P SCALE MODEL (1:50) ................................... PH $7500-10,000

Large scale (1:50) model of Russian space rocket Angara-5P, produced by GKNPTs Khrunichev. Model is very high quality, highly detailed, handmade, mostly metal model with plastic and resin elements, displaying amazing craftsmanship. This is presentational museum quality, ONE OF TWO models made for MAKS 2008 exhibition, International Aviation and Space Show near Moscow. Model stands 45" tall (39" without stand) and mounted on wooden base. Angara-5P is two-stage rocket, 712-ton booster designated Angara-5P, where ‘P’ stood for ‘piloted’ or ‘manned.’ Since any deep-space exploration missions may not occur until the 2030s, Angara-5P could be the main carrier of Russian manned spacecraft during most of the 2020s. Moreover, GKNPTs Khrunichev proposed deep- space mission scenarios, where the manned vehicles would still be launched on Angara-5P and dock in the low Earth orbit with large space tugs delivered by super-heavy rockets. On July 9, 2014, Russia launched the ecologically clean Angara rocket from the Plesetsk military cosmodrome. It is the first space booster designed in Russia from scratch since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Model is pristine. Here’s an opportunity to own an historically significant item early in the game.

1968 JOHN WOODEN HANDWRITTEN LETTER SIGNED ............................................... PH $750-1000

An ALS written by HOF College Basketball player and legendary coach John Wooden.

Letter written to his former teammate Charles 'Stretch' Murphy, with whom he played on several championship teams with the Purdue Boilers in the late 1920s. Content is mostly of an amiable nature, as it is obvious the two go way back; some sadness in the letter as Wooden describes taking his wife Nell for medical tests. Wooden has signed on reverse as 'JW' but his full signature can be found on the accompanying original envelope above the return address. Letter and envelope have obviously been cared for, as there is only mild yellowing at letter's bottom edge. Very fine. 844
