My grandfather has had this on display in his living room as long as I can remember, I never realized it was the only one of its kind until recently.

So how did he come about having this in his collection?

That's awesome!

My dad used to work for NASA (as an editor), from Apollo 10-16. He did some of the transcriptions from the radio transmissions which they would then put in binders. He still has the one from 11, and it's literally every word that was said from both Houston and Apollo from takeoff to touchdown. Really cool to read through.

He also has a few binders of pictures that you can't buy anywhere, including some of the ones from Apollo 13 after they detached and could see the damage.

Edit: Man have I created some high expectations. I'll see what I can do but be prepared for disappointment.
