Author	Topic: Authentic signed Carpenter capsule?
Jetsfan Member Posts: 19 From: New York, USA Registered: Jan 2018	posted 10-29-2018 06:56 PM I recently purchased a signed Scott Carpenter Mercury capsule similar to the one that just sold in the RR auction. It's one of the ones that is part of the numbered edition. What's odd is that the base next to the signature isn't numbered. The COA that accompanies the piece is numbered, however. I suspect Mr. Carpenter (or whomever was supposed to write the number) just forgot. Was wondering you all think. These are hard to come by (at least for me) and I really don't want to return it. Thanks!
