Autographed "The Space Store Sluggers" Tee Shirt. "The Space Store" was a store devoted exclusively to Space Memorabilia. It was located directly across from the main enterence to the Johnson Space Center on NASA Road One in Houston, TX. Run by a dynamo renaissance woman named Dayna Steele (who has since written a GREAT motivational book "Rock to the Top" - about the rock and roll stars she knew personally as the No. 1 Rock and Roll disc jockey in Houston). The store, unfortunately, fell victim a couple of years ago to 1) the times and 2) the widening of NASA Road One and construction of a new freeway intersection. The Space Store was, and will be remembered as, the top grossing retail space store in the US. Anyway, they sponsored a baseball team composed of local residants (some of whom are/were astronauts, astronaut and NASA family members, etc. who live in close proximity to JSC and the store).
This tee shirt (with NASA color logo on the front, size M), one of only about 10 created, is signed a majority of the team members, all 20+ of them. Note some of the names (not that we want to name-drop) such as Jim Voss, Kevin Kregel, Doug Hurley, Charlie Precourt (just to name a few). While not the usual sort of space memorabilia you are used to seeing in our auctions, this tee shirt is definitely a part of that history, just from a different point of view. Remember, astronauts are people too and they have lives outside of NASA and the space program. Minor faults, but in new condition. This is a lot you will not want to overlook.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
