This is a Beautiful Set of "American's Triumph In Space" Commemorative Plates. Made In Limited Edition and Crafted To The Exacting Standards of The Bradford Exchange. There are 8 Porcelain Plates in the Set and they are 8" in Diameter. Each Has a Silver Rim With The Name and Date Of The Event Depicted on That Plate. They were made in 1993 or 1994 and are Hand Numbered. I do not have the original boxes which came with the plates.....Plates usually sold separately and rare to find all 8 with case included from Bradford Exchange......certificates are included as well.... Storage Box Shown in Photo is a Gift to the Buyer as well..... Never displayed always kept in case and stored safely away.... Like new Condition.......First issue: Eagle has landed, #1098A....Second issue: March towards Destiny, #8725A....Third issue: Flight of Glory, #2659A.....Fourth issue: Beyond the Bounds of Earth, #3529A.....Fifth issue: Conquering the New Frontier, #1856A......Sixth issue: Rendezvous with Victory, #1671A......Seventh issue: The new Explorers, #1117A......Eighth issue: The Triumphant Finale, #260A....all done by Robert Schaar...... Due to the nature of this item being fragile, heavy and large the shipping costs will probably either be UPS Ground or USPS Ground and the postage will be expensive as packaging will be secure and packaged by the store........if you do not want the box provided by Bradford Exchange when originally purchased that fits all 8 plates the shipping will of course be cheaper....it is the size of this container that makes the shipping box have to be large......invoice on shipping will be provided once shipped......if shipping and handling costs, (cost of box and packing done by UPS etc.) can be done with less expense then a refund will be provided if applicable.......any questions please ask...... BUYERS WILL PAY SHIPPING AND HANDLING OF $120.00 AND INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WILL PAY ACCORDING TO LOCATION.....PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING.....PAYMENT TO BE MADE WITHIN 3 DAYS AFTER CLOSE OF ITEM.......MULTIPLE WINS WILL COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS.....GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!!.....
