Sought-after color semi-glossy 9.75 x 7.75 photo of the Apollo 11 crew posing in their white space suits against a lunar backdrop, signed in black felt tip, “Neil Armstrong” and “Mike Collins,” and in black ballpoint, “Buzz Aldrin.” Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 18.25 x 16.25. In fine condition, with the image slightly grainy due to being printed from a slide; the original owner had the image printed on Fuji photo paper after it had been transferred from a set of GAF Pana-vue educational slides entitled 'A Step Into the Universe.’ Neil Armstrong's signature was acquired at his home in Lebanon, Ohio, in June 1986, after his return from Washington following his involvement with the Rogers Commission Report; and the Collins and Aldrin signatures were procured through the mail that same year. Fully signed and uninscribed Apollo 11 photos remain one of the most coveted prizes of space autograph collecting.
