It’s time to post my first batch of cyanotypes to ebay. But I ran into a conundrum… how should I categorize them? I started entering the first one, the Sat Ib, as “collectible-historical memorabilia-astronauts & space travel-etc” but then I realized that these were made by me over the last few weeks. The *sources* for the blueprints are of course historical, but the actual items themselves are brand new, hand made “art” items. Suggestions?

As close as I can find
You should be fine in “historical memorabilia”.
I see photos and reports that people download from images.nasa.gov or the NTRS and print them at their local Walgreens or print on their laser printer (or their company’s Xerox machine) which are posted at prices one might expect vintage, period media might fetch.
Probably hit more of your target market there, although if you can put them in multiple categories, then I’d also list them in the “art” category mentioned in another post.
