Three items: a glossy 10 x 8 photo of Wally Schirra sitting with Walter Cronkite during a CBS televised moon-landing special, signed in black felt tip, "Wally Schirra"; an ALS signed "Julian Scheer," NASA's longtime assistant administrator for public affairs, one page, lightly lined, 8.25 x 11, no date, written to Schirra, in full: "Walter Cronkite you are not but a damn good second you are. You look & sound first rate"; and a clipped 4 x 5.5 CBS ratings press sheet, in part: "National Arbitron Ratings for launch day, Apollo 11 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. CBS 13.9 rating, 45 shares." In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
