Here's a scary atate of affairs - I have some of the
Apollo astronaut's autographs (my father worked with
them) - maybe worth $50 apiece. A friend of mine
recently found the first issue of Martha Stewart's
Living magazine at a garage sale for 25 cents. He
ebayed it a month or 2 ago for $167. I mean, walking
on the moon certainly pales against articles like "101
Things To Do With Cling Peaches, 102 If You Eat The F'ers."
