Appraiser looks for space memorabilia in Rocket City

Posted: Updated:

A search is on for space memorabilia in the Rocket City.

Regency Superior will hold a free appraisal clinic this weekend in Huntsville. The clinic is an effort to find items related to space exploration that the company can put up for auction this summer.

Regency Superior Appraiser Alan Lipkin says now is the time to sell memorabilia since prices are at an all-time high.

Lipkin said space memorabilia prices have been rising at a rate of 5-to-10% a year for the last 20 years.

"It is a great way to increase your wealth," said Lipkin.

Lipkin has visited Huntsville half-a-dozen times in recent years and said he likes to see items related to Dr. Werner Von Braun.

Lipkin is looking for items such as autographed documents and other scientific materials.

The free appraisals will be available Saturday and Sunday at the Embassy Suites on Monroe Street in Huntsville.
