This Apollo 8 crew-signed presentation is professionally matted and framed and includes: Apollo 8 Beta cloth patch signed by Frank Borman annotated "Apollo 8 CDR". Also, signed by James Lovell annotated "Apollo 8 CMP". Beneath the patch is a First Day cover with Apollo 8 indicia and block of four USPS Apollo 8 stamps, post marked May 5, 1969, Houston, TX. It is signed underneath indica in blue ink "Bill Anders."  The overall frame dimensions are 13.5 x 19. The matted presentation can easily be removed from the frame. The Beta cloth patch and FDC are being held in by corner tabs. I will include authentication from Novaspace Galleries for the Lovell and Borman signatures. The Anders is an online authentication from Steve Zarelli, which states "In my opinion, this item is likely to pass full authentication by Zarelli Space Authentication." Would prefer to ship to US collectors, but as I mentioned the patch and FDC can be removed from frame and matte and shipped in a smaller protected envelope. Photos available on request. Update: No longer available. |
