I have a whole lot of these lithograph photo prints. I'm not sure how many different photos exist, but 11 different photos without the stamps and postmarks sell for about $10-$20 per set. I'll presume the FDCs will sell for more since they have a strong visual appeal.

One recently sold on ebay for $1.34 (click on the below link). There are hopeful sellers on ebay who start auctions with totally silly prices for such things, but of course they always wind up with zero bids. They are fishing for unknowledgeable bidders hoping to catch someone. The thing about this particular stamp is that they printed more than 152 million of them making it one of the most common commemorative stamps ever issued. There was extensive interest in creating all kinds of first day covers and items with first day cancellations so these things are really common. Such things commonly sell for around $1 each. While you should be able to multiply that $1 times the number you have and then add a few dollars more for having a set, your problem is that you do not have a complete set. There were 12 different ones in this set but you mention that you only have 11 of them.

This is a listing for a full set of just the prints that sold without the stamp and first day cancels. There's other listings on ebay that sold more less and more. Kimo's example is not the same thing. It's a FDC, but it's only on a copy of the NASA photo and a poor one at that. Kimo is right that the stamp has a huge printing run, but it is also a very popular stamp. First day covers sell for less than $1 to close to $20 each and depends on the cachet and demand at the time of auction. Signed items by the astronauts that can be verified are the most desirable items of this type and they can sell much more.

Absolutely - If you have something signed by Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins with their original signatures and not the plentiful autopen signatures you would have something pretty pricey, especially since Armstrong has passed away (in 2012).
