Date Sold 8/7/2011Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Autographed Color 8" x 10" Publicity Still (Learn More) Michael Collins is a former NASA astronaut from the 1960s to the 1970s. He completed the Gemini 10 and Apollo 11 missions and later became the director of the National Air and Space Museum. While he did orbit the moon (one of only 24 people to have done so), he did not actually go on the moon (fellow astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin did so, while he remained in the ship). As of 2021, Collins is still alive at the age of 90! Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Michael Collins! Also note that many celebrities kept multiple 8" x 10" (or smaller) copies of good publicity images of themselves to sign for fans, and also many memorabilia shops sold such copy stills themselves. While they are not original theater-used stills, they are usually excellent clear copies, with a great shot of that celebrity in their heyday, which, when signed by the celebrity, makes for a wonderful framed picture on any fan's wall! Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer in the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, he was approached by an elderly man named Sterling H. Bond, who had collected autographs for many years (starting in the early 1930s), and who sold the dealer his entire collection. Bond had tracked down many important Hollywood celebrities and obtained autographed items (often personalized to him), and he also had autographs from celebrities who were not in the film business (including famous politicians!). The dealer was so impressed with this collection that rather than sell it item by item, he began collecting autographs himself, sending celebrities items by Registered Mail which they then autographed and returned to him! He also purchased a few autographed items from top autograph dealers of the 1970s and 1980s. Now, decades later, the dealer consigned these autographed items to us, and we have sold many of them in our previous "all signed" auctions, and this set of auctions contains the last of them. All of these autographed items from this consignor were either obtained by long time collector Sterling H. Bond, or were obtained by this memorabilia dealer, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. There is a small diagonal crease in the bottom right corner but is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
