This is a wonderful artifact from astronaut Dave Scott who made his first flight into space as pilot of the Gemini 8 mission along with Neil Armstrong in March 1966 spending just under 11 hours in low Earth orbit. Scott then spent 10 days in orbit as Command Module Pilot aboard Apollo 9 his second spaceflight thus becoming the last American to fly solo in Earth orbit. Scott made his third and final flight into space as commander of the Apollo 15 mission the fourth human lunar landing becoming the seventh person to walk on the Moon and the first person to drive on the Moon which somehow sounds a lot cooler. This handsome Official Major League Baseball (Selig) baseball boasts a blazing Dave Scott blue ballpoint autograph on the sweet spot directly above an inscription that reads: Apollo 15 Commander. Signature is striking in it elegance and clarity; same could be said about the baseball seemingly as-issued and problem-free and encased in a clear plastic display cube and original box. According to consignor Scott used to charge $1500 for his autograph.
Includes copy of autograph show flier stating that Scott no longer signs baseballs. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
