Bonhams
A navigational chart used by Apollo 11 astronauts was the high-bid item at an auction in New York City that marked the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing. The surface chart was on auction at Bonhams New York, and sold for $218,000. This was much more than the expected price of $70,000 to $90,000.

In a letter accompanying the sale item, Aldrin wrote that “this star chart was the single most critical navigational device we used while on the moon.”
Why was this for sale in the first place?
