Apollo 17, 1972, NASA "Astronaut Preference Kit" Release Form. An unusual form, signed by Gene Cernan and Tom Stafford, acknowledging receipt of their Astronaut Preference Kits from Command Module 114. Dated December 21, 1972 (two days after the return of Apollo 17), this official form shows all of the steps necessary for the return of their APks. This writer doesn't understand why Tom Stafford was involved in the process, but regardless, this form is probably the first one of its type to be seen by collectors. Unique.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
Ex. the Donald "Deke" Slayton Estate collection.
