T O P I C R E V I E Whbw60This listing is for the back cover of the Apollo 17 flown "CSM Lunar Landmark Maps" book. After the mission, the book was kept by Gene Cernan, and it comes from his collection. This is the complete cover, and it hasn't been altered or trimmed in any way. It measures 8.5" x 10.5". The cover was sold with moderate staining and wear, but no damage or tears. I've kept it in its original condition, safely stored away in an archival sleeve out of sunlight. I'm asking $1500 for this item.The cover comes with three added piece of provenance: Gene Cernan has attached a hand-signed COA label to the cover, certifying that the item was carried to lunar orbit onboard Apollo 17, and that it comes from his personal collection. If you look closely, you can see that Gene used two stacked labels. I don't know why, but I'm guessing it was to give the text a higher contrast. I don't think it makes the piece better or worse, but I wanted to make sure this listing included every detail.This also includes a Steve Zarelli COA via RR Auction. (The original sale included both covers, and so this COA mentions "front and back" covers. However, only the back cover is included here. Fortunately, that's the one in the picture, so you can match this COA directly to the cover for sale.)You'll also receive a photo of Mr. Cernan holding the complete "CSM Lunar Landmark Maps" book. US Shipping for this item is free, and I'll include an upgrade to Priority Shipping and insurance for the full amount. International Shipping is $20. If you're interested in this item, please send me an email. Thank you for viewing this listing!hbw60*SOLD*
