Neil Armstrong signed "White Space Suit" (WSS) NASA lithographs with no inscription or personalization are highly desired by space autograph collectors.This is a prime example, one with an excellent dark blue signature and a Steve Zarelli Letter of Authenticity. It does have paperclip impressions and a small crease at the top, which are mostly visible only at just the right (or wrong) angle. Here is what the top looks like most of the time: And now when the light hits it in just a certain way. (Keep in mind I wanted to show these faults at their worst! In your album or framed it will look so much better!) An auction house sold one a couple of years ago in quite similar condition — with a paperclip impression and a "hint of trivial soiling" — for $5,776. This one is $3100, insured shipping included. You could also take two months to pay if you like, or make one payment for a $100 discount. Paying by check instead of PayPal would be another $100 discount, so you could get an uninscribed Armstrong WSS with a bold signature for just $2900. |
