I've added pictures of a few items, but please e-mail to ask for high-res photos or if you have questions.

Apollo 7

• SOLD Walt Cunningham: Fantastic 11x14 photo of Apollo 17's Saturn I lifting off, with the Vehicle Assembly Building it was, well, assembled in, visible in the background. This is not a Photoshop job: The photo was taken from a C-135 aircraft from 35,000 feet. Cunningham wrote "The launch of the first Apollo mission", signed it, and added Apollo 7. $195
  

  

• Wally Schirra: Autograph Note Signed. Schirra wrote three sentences to someone explaining the differences between the 1/6 of Earth's gravity the astronauts found on the moon, and the "no gravity" he moved with in space. He signed it with his initials. Handwritten notes with space contents from an astronaut are rare. $75

• Full crew: Three cards, each signed by Schirra, Eisele, or Cunningham. $95

• Frank Borman: Color NASA business suit litho of Borman posting with a Gemini model - but he added "Apollo 8" after inscribing and signing it. $60

• James Lovell: Color NASA crew litho, showing them standing at the base of the stairs to a simulator. Lovell signed over his image. $75

• James A McDivitt: TLS, dated 1970 as Manager of the Apollo Spacecraft Program. Sends an autograph, and "Because there is no charge for the picture, I am returning the dollar and would like to suggest that you donate it to your church." Left margin has small stains and three-hole-punches. $60

• SOLD This is a funny one. It's a color NASA litho of the crew standing outside an Apollo command module (no doubt a boilerplate of other training one). It is inscribed by Cernan and signed by him, and also signed genuinely by Tom Stafford. But the John Young signature, based on the handwriting and pen match, looks like it was signed by Cernan when Young wasn't around! I suspected that was the case, and then a well-known space authenticator (whose name I'm not using because it was a quick-look-favor and not an official examination) said it looked like that to him too. So... not quite a full-crew SP, but therefore only about 1/5 what that would be. $95

• Aldrin and Collins: vintage Grumman poster. A 20"x24" poster with several Apollo 11 images, surrounded by the printed signatures of hundreds of Grumman employees who helped design and build the lunar module. Across the top reads "Signatures reproduced from negatives carried to the moon on Apollo 11 (LM-5) 7-16-69." Across the bottom Aldrin wrote in pencil to one of those employees "To Joseph McFadden - Thanks, LEM 5 flew great" and then very unusually signed it "Edwin E. Aldrin Jr." before adding "Apollo 11." Along the side, Collins also inscribed it to McFadden and wrote "Thanks" and "Apollo 11", then added the dates of the mission: "July 16-24, 1969." With Novaspace COAs for both signatures. $295

• Charles Conrad: Check signed. Filled out to the Douglas Aircraft Co. in 1977. $60
  

• Jim Lovell and Fred Haise: book signed. Apollo 13, inscribed by Haise and also signed by Lovell. $60

• SOLD Fred Haise: original NASA Lunar Orbit Chart for Apollo 13. Color 43" x 21", labeled REV 1 through 18 for an 11 April 1970 Launch Date. Haise inscribed it in the middle "'Our one trip around the moon’ Fred Haise, Apollo 13 Lunar Module Pilot.” An identical chart sold at auction last year for $450. $295
  

  

• SOLD Fred Haise: original NASA Lunar Orbit Chart for Apollo 13. Color 43" x 21", labeled REV 40 through 46 for an 11 April 1970 Launch Date. Haise inscribed it in the middle "'The Lunar Orbits we didn't get to make!' Fred Haise, Apollo 13 Lunar Module Pilot.” An identical chart sold at auction earlier this year for $396. $250

• Alan Shepard: Signed picture of the Freedom 7 emblem. On a 4"x5" piece of a Bishop Mercury print that had been damaged. This piece does have tiny spots on the left side that blend in pretty well with the clouds and don't touch the signature. A nice inexpensive Mercury-related Shepard autograph. $40.

• Ed Mitchell: Signed book. The Way of the Explorer, inscribed and signed. $40

• Ed Mitchell: Signed photo. One of the most interesting photos I've ever seen signed by an astronaut - it's a color 8"x10" on the cover of a promotional folder from Suzuki Motor Corp. He is sitting on their new RE-5 motorcycle, wearing a very 1970s suit and white leather shoes. Inside the folder is a page in which Mitchell compliments the RE-5. He boldly signed the color photo. $40

• Jim Irwin: I have a choice of three NASA "flag salute" lithos to choose from. Inscribed are $75 each; the SOLD uninscribed one is $95. I also have an uninscribed WSS pamphlet for $75 and a check for $60.

• Al Worden: TLS. From NASA in 1971: "Your interest in the manned space flight program is greatly appreciated." $75 Also his book Falling to Earth signed. $60

• Charles Duke: Signed poster. A nice 12"x20" poster about "Charles Duke: Moonwalker", showing him on the moon and posing on Earth in his space suit. Smaller images of the liftoff, the lunar module over the moon, and splashdown. Excellent. $95

• SOLD Ken Mattingly: Signed launch cover. Postmarked in Australia, and comes on a lovely presentation page with an amazingly neat handwritten description, a picture of Mattingly, and an envelope made of an Earth Orbit chart. $75
  

• Gene Cernan: Signed 16x20 matte. A great inscription including "Thanks for helping us make history - and have a lot of fun!" With an 11"x14" photo of him above.

• Ron Evans: Inscribed WSS litho. A little of the top right corner was neatly trimmed off for some reason. $75

• Jack Schmitt: Typed Letter Signed. 1979 letter on his "Harrison Schmitt" U.S. Senate stationery; signed "Jack." Merry Christmas wishes to a congressman. $75

• SOLD Full crew: signed cards. Cernan signed an index card and added "Apollo XVII." Evans and Schmitt signed the inside cover of a program. None are inscribed. These would all matte together with your favorite photo from Apollo 17. $195
