FIRST ELEVEN COSMONAUTS HAND SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH w/ COA Gagarin, Titov, Leonov, Tereshkova, Komarov & More Start Price USD 1,299.00 Current Price USD 1,299.00 Time Left - Bid Count 0 Buy It Now Price - Reserve Price - Start Time Wednesday, November 19, 2008 End Time Monday, November 24, 2008 Location Orinda, CA See more about 'FIRST ELEVEN COSMONAUTS HAND SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH w/ COA' Description      For sale is a virtual "WHO'S WHO OF THE SOVIET SPACE PROGRAM (COSMONAUTS.)"  This is a black and white original photograph, which has been hand signed by each of the first eleven cosmonauts to go into space: Yuri Gagarin (first man in space and first man to orbit the earth); Gheman Titov (first man in space for more than 24 hours); Andrian Nikolayev; Pavel Popovich; Valentina Tereshkova (first women in space); Vladimir Komarov;  Konstantin Feoktistov; Boris Yegorov; Pavel Belyayev; Aleksey Leonov (first man to walk in space); and Valery Bykovsky.  Along with a hand signed photo of the Original Mercury Seven Astronauts, this is considered the Holy Grail of space autograph collections.  This hand signed photograph has been framed with the official Certificate of Authenticity and provenance documentation of the Soviet Space Program.  As seen in the pictures with this listing, this document includes original signatures  of various officials of the Soviet Space Program, including that of the Director of Star City, who owned this item at one time, and a smaller copy of the original hand signed photo.  This piece has been beautifully framed.  It is irreplaceable, as many of these individuals have been deceased for decades.  In addition, I guarantee the authenticity of this piece for LIFE. I have seen autograph guides, which value this item (without the official Soviet Space Program COA) at over $5,000.00.  This piece, with the additional documentation, is worth far more.  What an incredible Holiday gift for the space enthusiast, who seems to have everything!      The winner of this auction must make payment within 24 hours of the close of the auction, unless other arrangements have been made with the seller, prior to the close of the auction.  Please do not hesitate to ask questions.  Good luck and please look at the other the items I currently have for sale.
