I think you may be able to find what you need through the folks at Sky
and Telescope;

http://skyandtelescope.com/shopatsky/

(Mars, Moon, and Venus globes in their own store)

or the folks at the USGS Astrogeology Research Program;

http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/Gallery/MapsAndGlobes/

Your client might also think about virtual globes using Jet Propulsion
Laboratory photographic composites:

and then there is always Ebay (~300 terrestrial, planetary, celestial,
and
moon globes listed for auction when I checked tonight....)
