I have decided to sell several dozen items from my collection: autographs, flown items, rare items used in training, etc. This post will include the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo items, separated into groups by price. (I didn't want to fill up half this page with many posts.)Shipping for most items will be $8 for Priority Mail, including tracking. Larger and heavier items, of course, will be more. All autographs come with a lifetime guarantee of authenticity. I will be offline for a few hours each day this week, but I will carefully note who writes to me first about an item, and I will certainly reply within 12 hours of you writing. I hope you enjoy taking a look! |

- Mercury astronauts signed print. "Thunder Over The Patuxent", showing aircraft over Naval Air Station Patuxent River. This is the home of the US Navy Test Pilot School, and many astronauts from Mercury to the present day flew there.
Signed by Alan Shepard, John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, and Wally Schirra. The first American in space, and the first three Americans to orbit the Earth. Also signed by VADM Jim Stockdale (Hanoi Hilton) Scott Crossfield (first man to fly at Mach 2), CAPT Syd Sherby (founder of USNTPS), Col Bryan O'Connor (Astronaut), CDR John Keilty (32nd CO of USNTPS), and artist John Shaw. Quite large at 27"x40". With letter of transmission hand-signed by the Director of the USNTPS Foundation, which commissioned this artwork. Photos: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 To my great annoyance, I dropped a binder I had brought home for online teaching onto the large portfolio holding this print. It sustained some damage on the far lower left. Here is a close-up photo showing these faults, most of which are far from the image and will barely show if you matte and frame it. As a price comparison, here is one being offered for $895. - SOLD $495: Mercury 7 astronauts (all seven) signatures. A piece of framing matte with early signatures. Zarelli positive Letter of Opinion. Just about the lowest price you'll see for an uninscribed item with all seven signatures, since it is roughly cut and the Grissom autograph is light. I had printed some photos to matte and frame with it (until I lucked into a Mercury 7 SP at an okay price), and those photos are included. Note that they signed in alphabetical order, which is how they appear in the famous photo of them next to the jet.

- SOLD $295: 8x10" photograph of the Mercury 7 astronauts in their silver spacesuits, signed boldly in black by the first four Americans to orbit the Earth: Glenn, Carpenter, Schirra, and Cooper (just a reflection on the left - no problem with the photo).
- Alan Shepard and John Glenn vintage signatures in book. Fascinating book published in 1961, after the Mercury 7 astronauts had been selected but before any flights. Shepard and Glenn early-style signatures on the pages with their photos and biographies. (Inscribed by Shepard to "Whitey," who was NASA employee Don Whiting. A dollar bill flown on Freedom 7 and signed by him, among others, sold at Heritage a while back.)
- SOLD $250: Four moonwalkers signed booklet. Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean (adding "Apollo 12 LMP"), Edgar Mitchell ("Apollo 14"), and Charles M. Duke Jr. ("Apollo 16 LMP") signed 1997 Congressional hearings booklet "Defining NASA's Mission and America's Vision for the Future of Space Exploration."
- SOLD $295: Apollo 12 Lunar Surface Operations Plan. An original October 1969 copy. A minute-by-minute flight-plan-like booklet describing the plan for the time the Apollo 12 astronauts would spend on the moon.
