Rich and Jason make a return visit with San Francisco-based space flown artifact collector Matthew Polomik. You may remember Matt from episode 1 of Space Dealers, in addition to our episode with him last year. There was so much to discuss with Matt that we didn’t get to in the first episode, so Matt was kind enough to spend some more time with us going through his collection and memories.

The boys are back after an extended summer break with special guest -- legendary space collector, appraiser, and historian, Larry McGlynn. Together, they spend time discussing the robust October RR Space Auction catalog and get into a lengthy give and take discussion on their favorite lots and areas of interest. It's just three friends chewing the fat over their favorite pass time: space collecting. So drop in at the table and listen in. We've always got a seat for one more...

Join Jason and Rich for their take on the recently completed Heritage Space Auction, as well as the lots they had their eyes on in terms of eye popping prices and under the radar bargains. Did you land one of the pieces they discuss? They also take a dive into the mail bag, highlighting some collector YouTube pages and instagram postings, as well as discussing the new Disney+ / NatGeo Sally Ride documentary. And did we mention the side-track convo about the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN? It's all in another chat with your friends at Two Space Collectors Collecting Space.

Ever wonder what it is like to run a space museum? Jason and Rich sit down for a conversation with Chris Orwoll, the former President & CEO of the Kansas Cosmosphere and former Executive Director, New Mexico Museum of Space History, to explore his amazing career. From a decorated Naval submariner to the curator of some of the most fascinating pieces of space history, Chris’ journey takes us through some of his favorite memories, artifacts, and exhibits as he also discusses practical advice on how collectors can work with museums to share their collections with the world.

Rich and Jason spend some time with Heritage's Director of Space Exploration, Brad Palmer. Brad discusses his background and passion for the genre, the evolution of the space auction category at Heritage, as well as recent trends and insights from behind the scenes. Along the way, he provides collectors with how-to tips and practical advice when consigning to an auction. There is also a great peak into the upcoming Heritage Space Auction set for June 13-14, 2025, which will feature Part 2 of the amazing Jacque Bracke Collection of flown and museum quality vintage material. The auction will also feature eye-popping high-end items such as an original space-themed Norman Rockwell painting entitled "From Concord to Tranquility," and a flown Hubble Space Telescope Power Control Unit dubbed "The Heart of Hubble."

Some people collect autographs associated with spaceflight. Others, the hardware that made the missions happen. In between, people collect all kinds of things -- from documentation to salt shakers. On this episode, Jason and Rich explore the collecting passion of Chris Griffith, the purveyor of the American Spacecraft website. The site, a descendant of the Field Guide to American Spacecraft, catalogs all of the visitable US spacecraft at museums and institutions around the country. It's a collection like no other. So if you are planning some summer trips to indulge your space collecting passion, Chris' website is a treasure trove of information for your planning.

Drop in and listen as Jason and Rich spend some quality time with Mike Constantine, the purveyor of breathtaking Apollo hi-res panorama photographs of the lunar surface. Interested in planetary space and photography as a child, learn how Mike's two passions intersected and gave birth Moonpans.com, where collectors can find his exclusive production of these rare and highly collectible photographs. Along the way, Mike explains how his unique panoramas came to be, the backstory behind some of his favorite and most popular projects, as well as consignment services.

This episode explores the journey of German collector turned space-artifiact-dealer Florian Noller. It's a fascinating discussion with Flo as he recounts his early fascination with space and his collecting of space themed stamps and postal covers, leading him to creating one of Europe's first and longest serving space artifact businesses. Along the way we get Flo's perspective on the changing nature of the hobby, the importance of research and provenance, and we get to learn about some of his favorite items from over 30 years of being both a collector and dealer.
