Lot 600
Apollo 11, 1969, Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin Autographs. On the mat surroundinga multicolor foil depiction of the both of them on the lunar surface. The mat is inscribed: "To Jere Cobb / One proud moment for two Americans at Tranquility Base / Thanks for your help in getting us there". The matt is professionally matted and framed to (14x18"). A minor spot of foxing on the mat at the upper rigtht and light moisture staining at the bottom should not detract. There has been a question in the past re the autographs on a foil presentation piece. The autographs here sure look genuine to this writer (now you can all lambast me with impunity) and the personalized inscription would seem to clinch the authenticity question.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
Ex. The NASA Pilot Jere Cobb collection.
