T O P I C R E V I E WDSeuss5490It looks like this check may have been used to pay for the Grissom's stay in Florida during the Liberty Bell mission? Didn't the astros frequent the Cocoa Beach Holiday Inn "back in the day?" Neat item. stsmithvaAs long as that is genuine (certainly looks good, but I don't want to assume) that is a really cool item that someone got for a bargain price. Standard Grissom checks have sold for around $400. This one sold for just over $200 and was signed RIGHT after the flight. Maybe Grissom picked up the tab for some friends or family who had come to see the launch.Steve4allmankindDSeuss5490, you bring up a great topic here and now I am left to wonder what Grissom might have been doing the day/week the check I own was filled out. Great observation there, and thanks for bringing up the topic. I had not previously thought of this.
