^Lot 91 Mercury 7

Famous color 10 x 8 NASA photo of the entire Mercury 7 crew posing by an aircraft, signed vertically in ink by “M. Scott Carpenter,” “Gordon Cooper,” “J. H. Glenn, Jr.,” “Virgil I. Grissom,” “Walter M. Schirra,” “Alan B. Shepard,” and “Donald K. Slayton.” In very good condition, with some light surface creasing, a crease to the bottom left and top right corners, a small area of paper loss and a tear to the left edge, a small tear to the bottom right edge, and light contrast to Carpenter’s signature. A quintessential pose, this could be the highlight of any astronaut autograph collection.
