Double-matted with nine pins honoring the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions, engraved plates impressively cut in the shape of a capsule, and a gorgeous photo collage print of the Apollo 17 mission, signed in gold ink by moonwalker Gene Cernan; framed to an overall size of 24 x 20. In very fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Winco, which states that this “presentation has been commissioned by Captain Gene Cernan, who has also signed the edition-exclusive lithograph featured in each frame.

The remaining 50 framed pieces were given to Winco to distribute, with this particular edition deriving from the personal collection of Winco President Andy Boston.
