I have just posted on eBay several items that may interest you. Most come with a Steve Zarelli Letter of Authenticity.

This link will take you to a list of listings. (My eBay username is stsmithva.) I'll say here that they include:

  • A vintage Mercury capsule contractor's model, made by Topping for McDonnell.
  • A Stuart Roosa signed Apollo 14 portrait inscribed "To George."
  • A Jack Schmitt signed WSS NASA litho, inscribed "To George, best wishes!"
  • A possibly unique photo of the Apollo 11 launch, signed by the crew.
  • A Gus Grissom signed photo - on the phone with Pres. Kennedy after Liberty Bell 7.
  • A Buzz Aldrin signed "visor shot" NASA litho of him on the lunar surface, inscribed "To George."
  • A 1967 space-theme postal cover with the autographs of eight Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and shuttle astronauts.
  • An Apollo 14 crew signed launch postcard.
And a wonderful item signed by the man who started it all: a biography and portrait superbly penned and drawn by a gifted collector, and then signed by Orville Wright. Unique and fantastic.

(I mentioned "To George" all those times because it's neat that there's no last name. If your name is George or you want to get a great present for a George, now's your chance!)

Thank you for looking. Very low starting bids on everything - good luck!

I had to pull the listing for the Topping contractor's model for the Mercury capsule because I realized I had to add some condition information, and there was already a bid. I've put it back up now, along with a Michael Collins signed WSS litho and a nice 1971 Neil Armstrong signed item (both with Steve Zarelli LoAs). - Steve
