Official color semi–glossy 10 x 8 red-numbered NASA photo of the original Apollo 13 crew posing in their white space suits, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, “To Tom—Many thanks for your help—James Lovell,” “Ken Mattingly,” and “Fred W. Haise.” In fine condition, with one light bend. Due to the risk of a rubella scare, Mattingly was grounded by the flight surgeon and replaced by backup CMP Jack Swigert only three days before the launch. A vibrant image of the original crew that’s enhanced by the presence of Mattingly, an astronaut who would fly to the moon two years later aboard Apollo 16’s Casper.
