The post-mission signed photo of Conrad and Cooper shows Conrad rubbing Cooper's chin and exclaiming "You need a shave!" with Cooper responding with "Maybe tomorrow!"

This complete Gemini 5 checklist was used during re-entry after the 120 Earth orbital flight by Pete Conrad and Gordon Cooper. The checklist is heavily annotated by Conrad and signed on the reverse by Cooper. Came from the collection of Pete Conrad. Come with a COA by Ken Havekotte.

The checklist consists of 19 double-sided heavy card stock 3.25"x8" pages bound by a single metal ring, and is numbered 'CF55047-2 S/N 51.' Most of the checklist pages were annotated by Pete Conrad himself during the actual space voyage. Among the procedures included in the checklist are 'Mode II Abort, Insertion Checklist' (filled in and notated by Cooper); 'Power Up Check list'; and post-landing and water egress checklists, with one page notated, 'Remove shirt sleeves, Dollar Bills, PPKs, Log Book, Flight Plan, Re-Entry Book.' Boldly signed on the reverse of the last page, 'Gordon Cooper, Gemini 5 CDR.' Most of the black pen writing is in Conrad's hand.
