There is also a book about the Mercury program signed — probably around 1960 based on the very early signature styles - by all 7 of America's first astronauts.

The last two signed items are:

• a NASA booklet signed by more than 30 of the German rocket scientists who came to the U.S. after World War II. It's the most such autographs I've ever seen on one item.
  
• a pair of 1972 documents filled in and signed by Don Lind, listing exactly the type, quantity and sizes of the clothing he was being issued to wear on board Skylab if, as backup science pilot, he ended up flying that mission.

Aside from autographs, there is a 3rd edition copy of Relics of the Space Race, a Purdue University yearbook from Neil Armstrong's freshman year, and even a Tomahawk missile contractor's model.

I'd offered most of these items on cS before, and now they are on eBay with opening bids way, way below my asking prices back then. (Most are $49 with no reserves.)
