1. Signed Wally Schirra (w/JFK) 8x10 Photo

Seller's description:

You are looking at a REALLY NICE
black and white, 10 inch by 8 inch photo of
Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo Astronaut
WALLY SCHIRRA
with former PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY

Astronaut Wally Schirra signed his name on the front of this great photo of Wally Schirra showing President Kennedy around the Cape. Astronaut Wally Schirra used a black marker to signed his name. This is a great signature from Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo Astronaut Wally Schirra. and one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts chosen for the Project Mercury, America's first effort to put humans in space. He was the only person to fly in all of America's first three space programs (Mercury, Gemini and Apollo). He logged a total of 295 hours and 15 minutes in space. Schirra was the 5th American and the 9th human to ride a rocket into space. This is a really nice Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo signature item for your collection.  This photo is not address to anyone, it comes to the winning bidder “clean”. No marks other than the signature. Those who know me that I don’t believe in COAs, but if I have one - I like to pass them on to the winner bidder and let them decided what to do with the COA. The second scan shows a close up of the signature. The third scan shows the COA (Certificate of Authenticity - from Todd Mueller Autographs). The fourth photo is myself with Wally Schirra in Burbank, California on Saturday, September 4, 2004.

The signed black and white photo is ten times better than the scan.

"mint condition" SIGNED STAMP BLOCK BY (Apollo - Soyuz, Astronaut - Cosmonaut USA stamp )
WALLY SCHIRRA

This stamp block is called Space Accomplishments, United States and was issued in 1992. Both the United States and Russia were involved in the design of this block of four mint stamps; Russia concurrently issued a similar set. The American and Russian designers were Robert T. McCall and Vladimir Beilin, respectively. The four stamps form a continuous design that honors a broad spectrum of space exploration achievements by the two countries. The top-left stamp illustrates a Cosmonaut and the U.S. Space Shuttle. The top-right stamp features an Astronaut, Russian Space Station, and Russian Space Shuttle. The bottom-left stamp shows Sputnik, Vostok, and Apollo Command and Lunar Modules. The bottom-right stamp illustrates Soyuz, Mercury, and Gemini Spacecraft. The actual size of this block of four stamps is 80mm x 51mm (possibly attached sheet selvage is not included in this measurement). This is a great signature of Mercury 7, Gemini 6, and Apollo 7 Astronaut Wally Schirra.
