Lot 250
Vostok 1, 1961, Gagarin Autograph. On a black and white photo (9x6.5") of him before his flight. He has written a lengthy inscription that reads: "Sergei Pavlovich! As the Commander of "Vostok," I heartly thankful and (I) wish you new successes - Gagarin." Reading between the lines, he is meeting with the guy who was in charge of building his Vostok spacecraft (Korolev !) and saying he hoped that he did a good job so that he (Gagarin) would survive his flight. Interesting and attractive.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
