Collectibles that belonged to the first man to set foot on the moon were sold in a recent auction held by Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas. The company held its “Space Collection Signature Auction” from Thursday to Saturday, which included items from the Armstrong Family Collection. Some of Armstrong’s personal belongings sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars: Heritage Auctions says his spacecraft ID plate from Apollo 11’s lunar module Eagle went for $468,500 -- making it the highest-selling item. “Three of these Lunar Module-5 Identification Plates were flown to the moon on Apollo 11 and returned to Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp,” Heritage Auctions explained. Heritage Auctions did not immediately return Fox News’ request for comment on Sunday.
