I am a frequent browser but first time poster. Hope I am in the right forum for my question and advice.I have many original vintage red, blue and black numbered photos from Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions. Two that I know are valuable but not sure how valuable is why I am inquiring. I would like some opinions/advice on best place to evaluate and possibly sell. The first is a red numbered John Young in SSS. The second is a red numbered Ed White spacewalk, the one we all remember him by. Both are authentic as I have had them for over 45 years. They are in great condition with very little to no yellowing and are on the heavy Kodak paper. Thanks and look forward to comments. |

These are original NASA glossy red serial numbers s-65-30431(White) and s-64-29940 (Young). They are autographed by hand. They are both rare. Obvious for White and Young rarely signs any more. |

Are they inscribed, and if not, have you checked this great website to make sure they are not autopens? |

Well they are personalized. To Randy (me). They are hand signed. I grew up Pasadena Texas and had a few relatives that worked at NASA in the 60's. I have had them since I was around 9 years old. I am now 53. I have some really as cool stuff that has been put away and handled gently. I am 99.9% sure they are authentic. I can send images. Happy to email them to you if you want to see. Thanks for the comments. |

I am going to be putting both the White and Young signed photos up for sale or auction. Any opinions on value and price would be appreciated. As stated in earlier post they are both red numbered NASA original photos with the diagonal Kodak paper watermark on back. Thanks in advance for opinions.By the way, the image of the White photo doesn't do it justice. It is also 8x10. If you would like to see better images or close ups of the autograph, send me an email. Thanks. |
