c1960, Mercury 7 Signed Photo. An attractive NASA 8x10" black and white photo of the Mercury 7 astronauts with their signatures in different color ink. Note the full, early autographs rather than the more common, shorter autographs used later in the program. What is unusual about this photo is that the Shepard autograph is rubber stamped and not original. This is the first time we have seen this variation. There is minor smearing of the Grissom autograph just showing that the ink from his pen didn't dry as fast as those of his fellow astronauts. A great conversation piece and an important piece of memorabilia.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 5,000.
