Color 10 x 8 NASA ‘red-numbered’ photo of the Apollo 11 crew posing together in their white space suits, signed and inscribed in black felt tip “To Don Young, Best regards, Michael Collins,” and signed “Neil Armstrong,” and “Buzz Aldrin.” Photo is affixed to an identical size card, several professional repairs to a few small tears and creases, scattered light surface marks and spots, as well as some scattered light toning to image, otherwise very good condition. The Apollo 11 crew were in the Windy City for a ticker-tape parade in their honor on August 16, 1969. One of the Wrigley Field faithful—in the hope of cheering up a despondent Young following a famous tongue-lashing from teammate Ron Santo a few weeks earlier—likely secured the image for the center fielder.
