Advanced Space Academy patches

[Hotdog]

It's rare to see these pop up on eBay, but I noticed something different about these. They are the standard 4" diameter!

When Space Camp produced these originally, they undersized them at 3.5" for some reason. This made them look awkward when placed onto flightsuits and jackets alongside standard 4" patches.

The seller said he had these made since he could not find them in the gift shop when he went to camp. So, here's your chance to get one at the "correct" size!

I received mine already. Here is a photo comparison of the replica next to the erroneous original.

I'll stick with my original, the real thing. Might be a few legal issues with offering unauthorized copies for sale...

I've never seen one of those before. What year did you get this? I'm guessing sometime between 1999-2011, which is right in my gap years.

Did you ask in the Space Camp Alumni FB group? I'd be curious to see what people say, if anything. I'd do it myself, but I am currently blocked from the group for reasons known only to God and USSRC.
