I wouldn't mind having something that actually was on the moon. But Apollo
11 orbit is a pretty good second place.

There is a huge auction of Neil Armstrong's stuff going on right now.
Someone decided to capitalize on the movie. Some of it is his Apollo
11 stuff going for a good premium, but not at the level of $70 for a 1mm
square...

I now own something that has orbited the moon. My youngest son bought
this as a gift. NASA has to remove some kind of panels on the command
module for forensic purposes. I am not sure what they covered, but they
were cut up and given to certain members of the team the worked on that
part of the capsule. A collector purchased the sample from the estate and
has cut it up into 1mm sq bits, mounted them and is selling them for $70.
If the original sample was 10 cm square, he is gonna make $700K off of
this.
