I am disappinrted to have to raise my TRACKED INTERNATIONAL shippings rates from $14 to $20. This also means a change from USPS to UPS (United Parcel Service) for this service. If I stayed with USPS it would increase to $25. Unforetunately, these rate incrases are out of my control. The most affordable rate is to use untracked postage, which remains $4. Please see my FAQ page.

"Max Peck" Gemini Astronaut Name Tag Patch and Decal

It's been said that when NASA was interviewing Gemini astronaut candidates, they had them all register at the Rice Hotel in Houston as "Max Peck" (which turns out to be the name of the hotel manager). This patch requires some suspension of belief in order to imagine all of these pilots, test pilots and aviators mingling in the hotel lounge wearing all the same name tag. While this never happened, this name tag is a bit of a play on this imaginary moment of an actual event. The patch is 3 1/2" wide and includes a matching decal. This patch will come mounted on velcro, which is a first for Retrorocket Emblems. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did imaginging it! Available mid-December 2025.
