Joe Kittinger Signed 1960 Life Magazine Autographed, Aviation, Space, JSA COA

Description

This is an autographed 1960 Life magazine of Joe Kittinger. This is an original magazine and does have some wear, but still in good shape overall for one that is 60 years old.  At one point he held the world record for longest skydive and the first man to make a solo crossing in a gas balloon over the Atlantic ocean. It comes with a JSA Certificate of Authenticity.
This is an authentic hand signed item.
I am a collector of autographed memorabilia. Many of the items that I have were obtained directly in person by myself, while others are purchased or traded from other reliable collectors. In some cases I'm able to get a picture with the celebrity and I will post that as proof. Other pictures were taken of them signing that I either took personally or by other collectors as well. In either case, the chances are generally slim of capturing the exact and precise moment of them signing the specific item listed.
I do alot of research and spend time finding celebrities at hotels, concert venues, sports games, and other events. It takes more time and effort than some people realize, but it has been a positive experience overall with this hobby. This is not my full time job as I'm a teacher first with this hobby being secondary and something I enjoy in my spare time.
Most of my higher end autographed memorabilia I try to get professionally authenticated, but many other items I will sell as is, however, I stand behind every product I sell and feel 100% confident in it's authenticity. If I had all items authenticated then I would have to charge quite a premium, therefore, I'd rather offer some at more affordable prices than endure the expense of having every single piece inspected by third party companies. I do not issue homemade certificates of authenticity for these items as I am not a known company or authority in the industry.
