I am looking to buy one of the Mercury 7 signed art prints. It is the one Betty Grissom signed in the place of Virgil and was issued by the Mercury 7 Foundation, now known as the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.
Does anyone have one to sell and at what price? I would also ask of members in general their opinions as to what price point one would attract in the present market. Thanks.

There is one on eBay right now for $499 (203299454536). That seems to be the going rate for these, though occasionally you can find them for a little less. For whatever reason it has never really gone up in value very much.
I’ve been told some collectors just don’t care for the artwork, but it was one of the first pieces I acquired when I started collecting 25 years ago and I still have it proudly displayed in my home.
(And no, I’m not seller. Lol).
