Apollo 12 Flown U.S. Flag with Crew Patch.
<B>Apollo 12 Flown U.S. Flag with Crew Patch.</B></I> Nicely displayed and framed, this flag accompanied Conrad, Gordon, and Bean as they made their journey to the moon on our second manned visit. Almost aborted when the Saturn rocket was hit by lightning, Apollo 12's mission was to retrieve data with the Surveyor 3. Signed and inscribed in the lower right corner by Alan Bean, reading "<I>Flown to the Moon Apollo XII, Nov. 1969, Alan Bean" .</B></I> The silk flag is in excellent condition. Picturing the <I>Yankee Clipper </B></I>landing on the month plaque below the patch gives the name of the flight as well as the date. This large 16" x 11" flag is much rarer than the more-often seen 6" x 4" version. As framed, 20.5" square. <I>From the collection of Sue Bean-Gilliam</B></I>.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)<BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
