Here are some prices we have realized for Mercury 7 autographed photos:
Fantastic Mercury 7 signed photo display, with the signatures of all 7 astronauts on the photographic mat. The photo is a very unusual pose, with the astronauts casually yet confidently posed next to a rocket model. Photo is copyrighted by the National Geographic Society, and the presentation is inscribed to Allan Fisher, a reporter for ”National Geographic”, who wrote a profile of the group in its July 1960 issue. A reprint of the issue accompanies the lot. Photo measures 18” x 8.25”, and mat measures 22” x 13”. Very good to near fine, with only a few spots of abrasion on the mat. With Steve Zarelli COA for all seven signatures; Mr. Zarelli stated that he has never seen this pose before. Sold for $9,688.
Mercury 7 Signed 11” x 14” Photo — Signed by All 7 Posing in Front of the Mercury 7 Capsule
Mercury 7 signed photo, in a pose rarely seen with the seven astronauts standing in front of the Mercury 7 capsule.

Glenn, Jr.”, ”M. Scott Carpenter”, ”Donald K. Slayton”, ”Virgil I. Grissom” and ”Alan B. Shepard”. Slayton writes his name again under his image, but the pen didn’t adhere well enough, likely causing him to then sign upon his image. Glossy photo measures 11” x 14”, with ”Life” magazine stamp on verso, crediting photographer Ralph Morse. Heavy creasing, mostly confined to perimeter, smudging to Cooper’s signature, and a few one-inch closed tears to margin. Overall good condition with strong visual appeal. Sold for $7,488.
