I have a nice vintage Gus Grissom signed cover with Zarelli COA. It's up on eBay now (item 322482929596). I will accept $600 from a cS'er. Includes priority shipping within the US.

Not that the date would have anything to do with Gus Grissom (or for that matter Houston where it was postmarked), but July 17, 1962 was the same day that Robert White became the first pilot to exceed 50 miles and earn astronaut wings flying the X-15.
