Becca:
[0:02] Welcome to Vaginance. This is our first official guess the price game. It happens to be Space Edition, which is a very exciting way to kick things off. Our competitors today are Taylor, are Maggie and are Loren with an O. And they are going to show us how much they know about prices and space. Here we go.
Jewels:
[0:29] Random space memorabilia.
Maggie:
[0:32] Prices, space, space prices, the prices of space.
Jewels:
[0:33] Space space prices. The prices of space spatial inflation, galactic.
Becca:
[0:34] Spatial inflation, galactic, um depreciation.
Maggie:
[0:42] We actually haven’t had an official edition of guess the price yet.
Taylor:
[0:46] Pew, pew, pew, pew pew. We haven’t. We keep joking about it and we have not done it yet.
Becca:
[0:47] Julie’s got it prepped. So is everyone ready?
Jewels:
[0:52] We don’t want you to be right. We want you to be wildly wrong.
Taylor:
[0:54] I mean to be fair, I still wouldn’t…
Loren:
[0:59] It’ll probably be wrong, yeah.
Maggie:
[1:01] I’m going to try to accurately guess though.
Taylor:
[1:03] I am too. I mean that’s the little fun….Yeah, I’m actually, I’m not gonna be like $5 billion. Like actually. It may cost that though, I don’t know.
Jewels:
[1:04] The next thing. Actually I’m not going to like $5 billion. Oh no.
Becca:
[1:09] Alright, Julie, dive us in. We’re… baptize us.
Jewels:
[1:13] We’re ready.
Taylor:
[1:19] Let’s do this. We should play like a little, like music beforehand.
Jewels:
[1:21] I’ll find something.
Maggie:
[1:29] Yeah, I request a metal song.
Taylor:
[1:30] Yeah.
Becca:
[1:31] Duh duh duh duh guess the price. Don’t get it wrong.
Jewels:
[1:45] Okay. To start us off. We have moon rock samples collected by the Soviets in 1970. These are I believe the only legally privately held moon rocks out there. Anyone else who has them who is not a government has them illegally. Here’s a picture, here’s a picture. 1970, moon rock samples collected by the Soviets.
Maggie:
[2:07] I have a lot of questions.
Taylor:
[2:10] 1970 moon rocks collected by the Soviets. So were they like auctioned off?
Jewels:
[2:15] More complicated that they were gifted to the widow of Russian space program pioneer Sergei Korolev. And now they’ve been auctioned off since then. So this was auctioned off in 2018 for how much?
Taylor:
[2:31] Oh okay.
Loren:
[2:31] So you guys guess first and then I’ll guess.
Maggie:
[2:31] All right. Taylor, do you want first guess or do you want me to take first guess on this one?
Taylor:
[2:34] I need a ponder.
Loren:
[2:35] And this is in USD?
Jewels:[2:37] US dollars, correct.
Maggie:
[2:36] I’m gonna guess in US dollars. I’m going to…. in Russian units.
Taylor:
[2:44] I have a number in my head.
Maggie:
[2:51] Um I’m going to guess in US dollars, 789, 981.
Jewels:
[2:57] Wow. Okay. Okay, registered.
Becca:
[3:00] $789,981.
Loren:
[3:09] I was going to guess five million Maggie.
Jewels:
[3:12] Maggie, you’re pretty fucking close. $855,000.
Taylor:
[3:12] I guess people don’t value moon rocks the way I do.
Maggie:
[3:19] Yes. Yes.
Loren:[3:21] These are rocks from the moon.
Becca:
[3:19] That is eerie. Yeah, but they’re communist rocks so…
Maggie:
[3:24] Hey, I’m kind of proud of myself. I just wanted you guys to know that.
Becca:[3:25] You should be.
Taylor:
[3:28] Listen, I have a very large personal collection of rocks.
Loren:
[3:32] So they recently opened a… they recently opened a sample from the Apollo missions and the amount of care and delicacy that they used to open the sample. It just, it belies more than $800,000.
Taylor:
[3:53] Yeah, like that’s insane to me that it’s only $800,000.
Loren:
[3:57] I mean, I guess I understand personally, if you’re millionaire collector, maybe it’s not that worth that much to you, but to scientists, I feel like these things are priceless, you know.
Taylor:
[3:57] Listen I just like rocks a lot and I think that they’re worth $5 million.
Becca:
[4:21] Alright Julie hit us with another.
Jewels:
[4:22] Okay. Next up. Super weird. I will show you the picture and we will post it to our Instagram. But this was a collection of 15 plaster hand molds originally used to tailor make spacesuit gloves for Apollo astronauts. They are mounted on wooden bases with brass name plaques.
Becca:
[4:42] They’re creepy as fuck.
Jewels:
[4:43] These were auctioned off in 2016 from from the Apollo astronauts.
Loren:
[4:47] These were in the Apollo?
Taylor:
[4:50] Oh yeah, you said that. Ooh, they’re really creepy.
Jewels:
[4:51] You will be eliminated.
Becca:
[4:53] And I want one.
Jewels:
[4:54] They’re so creepy.
Taylor:
[4:55] Did they spray paint them gold for effect?
Jewels:[4:54] It does appear that way.
Becca:
[4:58] I doubt they plastered them in gold.
Maggie:
[5:00] All right, I guess first last time so Taylor, let’s hear it.
Taylor:
[5:00] And what year is this?
Jewels:
[5:06] These were, yeah, they’re from the Apollo missions, but they were auctioned off in 2016, and there are, it’s a collection of 15 of them.
Becca:
[5:16] 15. That’s amazing. Put them all over the house, one just in the shower.
Loren:[5:17] Absolutely.
Taylor:
[5:19] I’m going to guess $25,000.
Jewels:
[5:24] Okay, we’re playing overestimate here now.
Maggie:
[5:26] Okay. See this is where… I was gonna do opposite. Yeah I was gonna do opposite. I was gonna say 1.3 million.
Taylor:
[5:27] Oh my god. Loren?
Loren:
[5:36] I say 150,000.
Jewels:
[5:40] Damn! 155,000.
Loren:
[5:42] Yeah. I literally was just 15 times 10 or 100 or whatever.
Becca:
[5:48] Girl knows her plasters
Maggie:
[5:51] She knows her astronaut hand value.
Loren:
[5:58] I know my astronaut hands.
Jewels:
[6:02] We’re going to get one of these made for you to commemorate this stunning display.
Taylor:
[6:07] Oh, that’s a good idea.
Loren:
[6:09] I want, no, I don’t care about the astronauts. I want all of y’all’s hand plastered in my house.
Becca:
[6:17] Wait, I’ve got a prize for this game. Whoever gets the most right gets it.
Taylor:
[6:21] Okay, now the stakes are high. We got to do a couple more so that I have a chance of winning. I’m want this prize.
Jewels:
[6:23] So far, Maggie’s got one, Loren’s got one and for the final round instead of guessing the.. This is your chance to even up the odds. For the final round instead of guessing the price, I’m going to tell you three NASA memorabilia items and you’re going to guess which one is the highest price NASA artifact ever auctioned off.
Loren:
[6:50] Oh God, oh God.
Maggie:
[6:52] This is great, I love this game, we should play this game all the time.
Taylor:[6:54] I have so many friends who would be so good at this game but I’m terrible at it.
Jewels:
[6:59] Okay. We have a 1969 Snoopy astronaut doll autographed by Apollo 10 Commander Tom Stafford. Everyone can picture this. We have Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 lunar sample bag which is stained with moon dust inside.
Taylor:
[7:19] Just an empty bag with moon dust?
Jewels:[7:21] Correct.
Loren:
[7:21] That’s still really valuable.
Jewels:
[7:22] Really?
Loren:
[7:25] Don’t, don’t laugh. That thing went to the moon. Snoopy didn’t go to the moon.
Taylor:
[7:29] Just score some trash on the moon and fucking sell it for millions of dollars. Huh? Really? People poop on the moon. They couldn’t. Where else are they going to put it?
Loren:
[7:33] You know how much poop’s on the moon? There’s a ton of poop on the moon.
Taylor:
[7:29] Huh? Really? People poop on the moon?
Jewels:
[7:38] Astronaut poo?
Loren:
[7:39] Yeah they couldn’t… where else are they going to put it? So they just put their poop on the moon.
Taylor:
[7:43] That’s smart. That’s smart.
Jewels:[7:38] Astronaut poop? That’s so weird. Why not just blast it into space?
Loren:
[7:47] Well because it was just easier to leave it on the moon than to actually like deposit it into the vacuum of space, also…
Jewels:
[7:48] Deposit, yes.
Loren:
[7:59] Anyway, move on. Next one. Yeah there’s just a bunch of poop bags.
Jewels:
[7:59] Okay, item, final item. Everyone’s familiar with Apollo 13, yes? Went terribly wrong.
Loren:
[8:10] Absolutely. Or did it go terribly right?
Jewels:
[8:13] In the end, yes. So item number three is the Apollo 13 flight plan book autographed by the crew, and presented to the missions lead flight planner with the inscription quote ‘To Bob, a truly perfect flight plan as far as we got.’
Taylor:
[8:33] Ooh that’s pretty great. That sounds pretty great.
Loren:
[8:35] I mean that one to me sounds the best but I think it’s got to be, I think that… I think this is a trick and the Snoopy wins.
Taylor:
[8:40] I think it’s probably Snoopy, but the flight plan sounds better.
Maggie:[8:41] Alright? You’re going Snoopy, you’re going flight plan?
I’ll go with the bag.
Loren:
[8:47] But I’m only… can I just say personally I would pick the bag.
Taylor:
[9:00] Oh no… I want to go with the bag, Really?
Loren:
[9:02] Yeah, because it’s been to the moon. None of these other objects have been to the moon.
Taylor:
[9:08] Yeah, but no one gave a shit about moon rocks.
Loren:
[9:08] I mean, they paid more for the moon rocks than the hands. I’m saying personally, but I think it’s a trick and I’m going to go with Snoopy.
Maggie:
[9:19] Loren’s got Snoopy. Taylor, what’s your final answer?
Taylor:
[9:24] Mhm. I don’t know man. Maybe I want to do the bag now. Do you feel strongly about the bag?
Jewels:
[9:32] Is. Okay. Also, I got pictures right. Here’s Snoopy, here’s the Snoopy doll. The back of his head is where the autograph is. Okay, everyone’s seen the Snoopy doll.
Taylor:
[9:36] Let me see this bag.
Jewels:
[9:47] This is the bag. Very sexy. And the flight plan.
Taylor:[9:48] I’m going to go with flight plan.
Maggie:
[9:56] All right, I’m taking the bag.
Jewels:
[9:58] Are you sticking with Snoopy?
Loren:
[10:01] I mean yeah.
Taylor:
[10:02] Do you think it’d be more valuable if it was filled with astronaut poop?
Loren:[10:02] Absolutely. Then you could clone Neil Armstrong.
Taylor:
[10:08] I think I said that like, I didn’t know if that was good or not.
Loren:
[10:11] Like it’s not real.
Taylor:
[10:17] I’m like kind of disgusted.
Jewels:
[10:20] Okay, the Snoopy doll went for $1,875.
Loren:
[10:26] That was something totally wrong.
Jewels:
[10:31] The flight plan went for $275,000.
Taylor:
[10:36] Oh God, it’s the bag. It’s the goddamn bag.
Jewels:
[10:37] And the lunar sample bag went for $1.8 million.
Loren:
[10:41] All right. Well, so I should, we should have all gone… I said the bag was personally more valuable. I should have just picked that one.
Taylor:[10:42] You should have picked it.
Maggie:
[10:52] Gone with your heart.
Loren:
[10:52] Yes. The problem is I always assume there’s a trick question.
Jewels:
[10:59] I mean, it was kind of a trick. It was just a bag.
Loren:
[11:00] Yeah. Yeah. But it went to the moon. Obviously it’s more valuable.
Becca:
[11:02] Yeah, Julie’s a trickster. You gotta assume that. So the prize you have. I actually bought this like months and months ago when I was talking to a guy and he really liked space and I found this at a thrift store and I thought it was really fucking cool. I don’t know if it is but I was going to send it to him and then I ended things. So, your prize is this retro Nasa Koozie.
Maggie:
[11:30] Yes it is really cool. It’s also like rainbowie.
Taylor:
[11:34] That is really awesome.
Jewels:
[11:36] That is beautiful. That is beautiful.
Loren:
[11:37] And it’s got the worm logo on it.
Taylor:
[11:38] I’m really jealous.
Maggie:
[11:43] Like get Taylor looking upset in it.
Taylor:
[11:50] I’m using that Koozie every time I’m over at your house.
Maggie:
[11:50] Yeah do a selfie too.
Taylor:[11:50] Just rubbing it in my face.
Jewels:
[11:50] Well, that was pure delight.
Taylor:[11:50] That was good. I learned, we all learned some things.
Maggie:
[11:57] That’s a really good picture, I’m not going to lie.
Becca:
[12:03] Wow. Guess the Price Space Edition was a wild success.
Maggie:
[12:14] You list the price of something, we’ll guess what space related thing that might be. Astronaut helmet.
