Apollo Program, 1962, Astronaut Candidates "Group 2" or "The New Nine", Comic "Test" Photo (5x4") This black and white photo of six of the Group 2 candidates including "Borman, Conrad, Lovell, See, White and Young" wearing civilian clothes and jet helmets. This comic photo is a one of a kind. It was probably shot a a warm-up photo prelude to a more "official" photo. Such photos as these were rarely published and offer a unique "human" side to the astronauts from 50 years ago. The photo is marked as being shot by Victor Barnaba of Santa Monica, CA. Minor faults on the reverse, but a great piece of memorabilia.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
Ex. The astronaut Edward White Family collection.
