Apollo 13 Original Crew Photo Signed Lovell, Mattingly, Haise Authenticated

Description

Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission of NASA's Apollo program and the third intended to land on the moon. The original crew had Thomas Ken Mattingly [1936] assigned as the Lunar Module pilot but was removed from the flight due to the fear he was exposed to German measles. The crew then consisted of Commander James A. Lovell, Command Module Pilot John L. ''Jack'' Swigert and Lunar Module Pilot Fred W. Haise Jr. The mission launched on April 11, 1970 but was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days into the flight. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat and a shortage of water the crew safely returned to Earth on April 17. Listed for auction is an exceedingly rare red serial number photograph signed by the original Apollo 13 mission crew. The photograph was released by NASA for their upcoming Apollo 13 mission and the image is of the crew in their space suits and is signed as follows, ''James Lovell'' in blue pen, ''Ken Mattingly'' in blue pen and ''Fred Haise'' in black pen. The autographs are signed on their white space suits and display boldly. The autographs have been authenticated
by Zarelli Space Authentication and will be accompanied with the above Letter of Authenticity. The photograph measures 10.00 x 8.00 inches, it has some trivial surface creases and general handling wear otherwise is in very good condition and will display nicely. The autographs of the original  Apollo 13 crew are a favorite of the space collector but can be difficult to obtain. Initially [years ago] there was not a great interest in original crew signed collectables but that has changed and they have become very desirable and difficult to obtain. This is a very nice example, a NASA's released red serial numbered photograph, authenticated, ideal for display and will be a great addition to any collection. Absolutely no disappointments plus we provide free shipping in the U.S. We have also listed or will be listing shortly the following Apollo mission crews, Apollo 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17, along with a nice collection of military, aviation and astronaut autographs.
