Now the Quasar I viewed, now as then, as just a chromed up Alpha III; hardly worth all that $. Besides, I already had a launch pad...

Agree with you on the Patriot. Sure it was a simple 3FNC but in the 70's those decals made it look like Evel Knievel compared to everybody else's Alphas and Berthas.

However, the Quasar was my first rocket and is particularly beloved. You should see what they sell for now. This one started at 99 cents and ended at $300:
