On the 50th anniversary Forbidden Planet DVD set, they include the “The Invisible Boy” appearance of Robby, and “The Thin Man” TV show episode, “Robot Client.”

Reference the Apollo 17 medallion– in the same auction there are a number of other great space items available, including Item #9160 – “Apollo 11 Crew-Signed Flown Flag Presentation,” with a pre-auction estimate of $50K.
