No details as yet, but would anyone care to make a guess on the pricing? His signed pictures seem to fetch around $40-50 on the open market, so we can only hope they use this as a guideline when coming up with the fees.

"Gemini 6 Photograph of Gemini 7 World's First Space Rendezvous 15 December 1965 GEMINI SPACECRAFT Designed and Built by MCDONNELL, St Louis for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration"

It is a fantastic print. I had Jim Lovell sign it in at his 2003 Nova Space signing. Then I had it framed along with a Gemini Program patch, a Gemini 6 patch, a Gemini 7 patch, an American Flag patch, remember the flag waving in Mission Control, and a Gemini 7/6 mission medallion. I have always wanted to add Frank Borman's signature to this print.

Thank you Kim Poor and Nova Space for this.

Now for the next part. So far it does not look like Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford are listed as being at the New York show this summer. Does anyone know if Wally and Tom are going to attend? I could have had Wally and Tom sign this print last year but I decided to wait to see if I could get Frank to sign it first.

Wow - that one slipped under my radar!

Great News - having only been in the hobby for about 3 years, this is a great opportunity to add more to my collection.

I guess that Novaspace are wanting to clear the decks a bit from the Young and Collins signings before being inundated with another mountain of mail.

It would be nice to have an indication of the pricing at this stage though.

I do not know about the rest of you, but it means a lot more to me to have something signed at my request, rather than just buying something secondhand.

All the Best

Update: Kim tells me that in fact Borman is primarily raising funds for his church. Personally I like the idea that the extra money is going to a cause dear to the astronaut's heart.

The Gemini 7 spacecraft is in the upper right corner while the Earth extends from the upper left to the lower right. My copy of this photo is printed in hard stock paper and it is a color photo. The caption under the print states

Wally not attending our show in August?? Take another look. He was one of the first guests announced. As far as Stafford is concerned....you'll just have to wait and see

Next year's show? Would suggest not taking for granted that another show is going to always be around the corner OR that any particular guest will participate, despite past attendance. Would suggest to anyone (and do), that they take advantage of these opportunities when they arrise if at all possible, and not assume that they'll be a "next years show". If you wait, you may be disappointed to learn that the perfect opportunity was the one you missed. Autographs through the mail can always be purchased (trust me, I know), but the chance for "face" time with these men is priceless. Enough said...
