Gemini Program, 1962, "Astronaut Group 2" Candid Comic Polaroid Photo (4.25x5.25") This black and white photo has a red "Polaroid" and photo number printed on the reverse. It is one of a small series of unique "test" photos taken of the Group 2 astronauts (Armstrong, Borman, Conrad, Lovell, McDivitt, See, Stafford, White and Young) prior to their formal group photo being taken. This was done to relax the astros and to help the photographers adjust lighting and focus before the "money" shot. A great piece of memorabilia. Some toning/stining at the top of the photo, mostly clear of the images and should not detract from this unique image.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
Ex. the astronaut Ed White II Family collection.
