Apollo 9 Full-Crew Signed 16x20 Photo Authenticated by JSA

This listing is for a large and breathtaking Apollo 9 Full-Crew signed (Scott, McDivitt, Schweickart) 16x20 photo professionally authenticated by JSA. It would be hard to exaggerate how scarce this is. Apollo 9 was the first mission to qualify a Lunar Module (LM) for flight and docking, thus paving the way for an eventual Apollo 11 moon landing mission. This photo was taken from a docked LM and shows Dave Scott performing a stand-up EVA from the hatch of the Command Module. The three signatures are strikingly large and bold and beautifully written; and, critically, have been authenticated by one of the best in the business, James Spence Authenticators (JSA). Their full Letter of Authenticity accompanies the photo; the accompanying COA sticker was placed on the letter, not the photo. The photo is printed on Kodak professional paper and the borders are bright white (but hard to photograph). Condition is very good; some wear is visible in places along the edges, and the corners have mild blemishes but the image itself and the signatures appear to be without flaw. The photo had been rolled at one time but is now in a plastic top loader and will ship flat.
