  • A Legendary Collector Spotlight: Larry McGlynn
    Nov 5 2024

    It’s time for another dose of space collecting royalty with a candid conversation with the legendary Larry McGlynn. Collector, appraiser, actor, advisor, mentor… the hats he wears in our beloved collecting industry are limitless. The boys talk about everything from Larry’s origin story down to his current collection and critical involvement with the passing of HR 4158, the Congressional artifact legislation from 2011-12 that granted legal title to the MGA astronauts of their artifacts. There's something for everyone to learn from this episode, but nothing more important than research, provenance, and knowing what you collect. Sit back and enjoy the conversation with one of the hobby's founding fathers.

  • A Conversation with Space Artifact Collector Bryan Edwards
    Sep 24 2024

    Before interviewing Bryan, Rich and Jason honor the memory of Karan Conklin from the Space Walk of Fame Museum in Titusville, Florida. They also discuss the newly released Netflix Apollo 13 documentary and Rich's recent interview about coins flown in space. After that comes super space memorabilia collector Bryan Edwards from Minnesota. Bryan discusses his unique path into space collecting. Learn about his father rubbing elbows with NASA personnel in Houston and how growing up in Houston fueled his passion for collecting space memorabilia. They then discuss everything from autographs to flown heat-shield lucites. Downsizing a bit, Bryan is moving to North Carolina shortly and -- teaser! -- there won't be a garage sale. You will, however, hear some fun stories from the hey-day of the autograph shows, including a unique interaction with the Last Man to Walk on the Moon, Gene Cernan.
