Official Mission Patch

This is the insignia for STS-107 THE OFFICIAL PATCH!BRAND NEWYou are bidding on The NASA insignia design for Shuttle flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. The central element of the patch is the microgravity symbol, µg, flowing into the rays of the astronaut symbol. The mission inclination is portrayed by the 39 degree angle of the astronaut symbol to the Earth's horizon. The sunrise is representative of the numerous experiments that are the dawn of a new era for continued microgravity research on the International Space Station and beyond. The breadth of science conducted on this mission will have widespread benefits to life on Earth and our continued exploration of space illustrated by the Earth and stars. The constellation Columba (the dove) was chosen to symbolize peace on Earth and the Space Shuttle Columbia. The seven stars also represent the mission crew members and honor the original astronauts who paved the way to make research in space possible. The Israeli flag is adjacent to the name of the payload specialist who is the first person from that country to fly on the Space Shuttle.

That patch on ebay has been up since before the accident. If you look at patches from the other flights they have also been up for a few days. I don't think the person who put this up for sale is doing it because they are trying to take advantage of a tragedy. I've got three patches myself and look occasionally to see what they are going for.

One of the e-bay things you posted said the seller was in CA and the other said Germany, and neither seemed to be wreckage debris. I don't deal with e-bay, but it seems to me that these were just some sleazeballs trying to make a profit sans merchandise (and I really wonder about any takers).

I don't want to seem like Pollyanna, but has anyone actually seen someone trying to sell real parts/pieces and why is this being described on TV as if there is a stampede of trophy-hunters? From what I've seen the people in TX have been respectful of these sites.
