GT-3, 1965, Virgil I. Grissom Autograph. On an unnumbered National Bank of Fort Sam Houston personal check dated 11 May 1959. The payee is a handstamped "Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Exchange" and Grissom has hand-written his address (Space Task Group / Langley AFB, VA). This check was written only a month after he received notification of his selection as one of the Mercury Seven astronauts (April 13, 1959). Grissom may have been at Wright-Patterson for additional testing and training since that was one of the major astronaut testing centers at the time. A great piece of early NASA memorabilia. A Todd Mueller COA is included.
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
