A rare fully signed pic of Gus Grissom in his spacesuit walking outside of a building at the Cape. The photo was snapped by none other than Shorty Powers. The seller's grandmother worked at the Cape (press office?), and Powers used her camera, according to info from the seller in Florida.Opens at $2,000, ends July 31st. Comments? |

Looks fine to me (assuming it is an original and not a reproduction; seller says it is original, so it likely is). Tough call on whether the price is too low, too high, or about right since signed photos of Grissom in his Mercury suit are very uncommon. A couple motivated bidders could take this one pretty high, I suspect. |

It's difficult to tell what type of instrument it was signed with, I assume a ball point pen??? |

Yes, a ball point ball, it would seem to me.
