| Appraiser Comments: | Fantastic "Project Gemini" poster from 1958 signed by the original project crew (astronauts). Signatures include John Glenn, Virgil "Gus" Grissom, John W. Young, James A. McDivitt, Deke Slayton, Elliott See, Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, Jr., Walter M. Schirra, Jr., Thomas P. Stafford, Neil A. Armstrong. Though the image provided was blurry, I managed to recognized the previous listed signatures. The owner states her husband obtained the signatures while a guest of Lockheed. Condition is very good with a few light imperfections. Signatures appear to be authentic. Appraisal is based on the condition, uniqueness, history and current market for this item. Please place in a dry and low light area to inhibit any fading. Congratulations on a remarkable early spaceflight collectible. The realized price if sold at auction could be much higher. |
