Hello:I bought this litho today and want to know what everyone thinks about this signature:
http://home.att.net/~ecktrading/WhiteDetail.jpg I hope the scan is of a decent quality. If not I'll try and do better. We just bought a new scanner so I'm still practicing with image quality. Thanks for your help. Jeff |

Jeff - do let us know if you're willing to part with it as it looks like a great piece.I for one will give you at least twice what you paid for it at the flea market! I'm assuming you paid peanuts by the way...  Chris |

Does anyone know of a very good surgeon as I need help getting my jaw back in from dropping to the ground & a heart attack from observing your holy grail find. :]
Congratulations on your the birth of your new
miracle. I've never accepted the idea of going to a flea market, too bad for me. Wonderful news for you. |

Jeff,I forgot to ask you. Just when you realized the flea market seller didn't know what he/she was parting with, did you hear the question "Sir, did you spill a glass of water on the front of your pants or something?" I know I had to go straight to the bathroom the first time I read your post and saw the picture! Best,

All:First of all THANKS for the comments that have been posted. Here is a little more information regarding my find: I bought a lot of ten photos on Sunday. Most of the pictures are of Mercury or Gemini spacecraft. Either on the launch pad, being launched, or in flight. Also, there is one Jim Lovell photo in the group and that is a business suit portrait picture. As for finding it, I was actually leaving the flea market and on the way to my truck when I decided to walk by an area I hadn't been by. My mother wanted to walk in a different direction but I insisted on heading by the unshopped area. Since I also collect vintage baseball memorabilia I was actually more on the lookout for baseball gloves and bats. I spotted a box full of paper items and started rummaging around and spotted a picture of a rocket on the pad. Naturally I went through the box item by item, pulling all of the space related pieces. After calling the seller over I asked how much for the lot and he started in with how much he gets for each picture. But then he blurted out "Forty dollars" and I whipped out my wallet faster than the speed of light. Yes, I managed to keep myself dry but I didn't wait around for any seller's remorse. Mom and I headed for home immediately and I tried to keep the happy dance to a minimum. Incredibly each photo I bought was in its own magazine bag, but was haphazardly dumped in a box with all sorts of other paper items. Since this vendor was located outside, I am very thankful the weather cooperated and the piece wasn't ruined by any moisture collecting inside the magazine bag. It'd sure be interesting to find out the provenance behind this item. How it ended up in a flea market must be one interesting story!! However I don't think the History Detectives on PBS will be able to figure this one out. Thanks again for sharing this with me. Jeff |
