Here is a chance to acquire a vintage color photograph of the original 7 Mercury Astronauts signed by the following astronauts : Walter Marty Jr. (Wally) Schirra (b.1923). US astronaut; member of original Mercury 7; only astronaut to enter space as part of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs; [Malcolm] Scott Carpenter (b. 1921). US astronaut; 2nd American to orbit Earth 1962; member of original Mercury 7; [Leroy] Gordon Cooper, Jr. (b. 1927). US astronaut; member of original Mercury 7 and John Glenn (1921-) The item being a color glossy 8 in. x 10 in. photo of the Mercury 7 astronauts, that is signed by four.. The photograph is in excellent condition.

The next item in the ensemble is a beautiful check signed by Virgil I. 'Gus' Grissom and made out to the brokerage firm of Merril Lynch Pierce Fenner and Smith that later became just Merrill Lynch. Grissom is one of the most difficult of the original Mercury 7 to obtain.

The last item is another check made out to the old brokerage firm of E.F. Hutton. (Unfortunately, not enough people listened when they spoke). In any event, the check is signed by Donald K. 'Deke' Slayton.

To complete the collection we are offering a signature of Alan Shepard ,n.p,n.d., that is bold, dark ball point pen signature on the back of a business card.

The Holy Grail for most space or flight collectors is to have a complete collection the autographs of The Mercury Astronauts and the first men on the moon (Apollo 11). The photograph in this grouping could be framed with the checks of the two astronauts as shown and the the signature of Alan Shepard .This is the most economic way to build this collection because a photograph or manuscript with all signatures together on a single item costs thousands of dollard.

All autographs come with letter of authenticity as to their origin, history and authenticity
