Astronaut Autographs
Novaspace Astronaut Signings
Frank Borman Custom Signing May 2008
Frank Borman was chosen as an astronaut in the second group, the "new nine" picked after the initial Mercury Seven. He commanded his first spaceflight, with Jim Lovell aboard Gemini 7, and again on the first manned flight to the moon, Apollo 8, which beat the Soviets to the moon, 40 years ago, in 1968. He headed up the overhaul of Apollo hardware after the Apollo 1 fire, and became CEO of Eastern Airlines after leaving NASA.
We hope all serious collectors will take part. Col. Borman does not accept mail from collectors, and cancelled his only autograph show appearance to date. This may be your only chance.
It's easy! And you'll save money. Simply decide what and how you want your item signed, fill in the order blank and send it to us by the deadline, and we'll promptly return your goods with a fresh, authentic signature and a Certificate of Authenticity. WE HAVE PHOTOS AND ART TO SIGN

ITEMS TO BE AUTOGRAPHED MUST ACCOMPANY ORDER FORMSPlease don’t fax or send order blanks to "hold your place," and then send one with the actual order. This can get very confusing, with the volume of orders. YOU MAY BE CHARGED TWICE! 5. YOUR CVV NUMBERIf you pay by credit card, our bank now requires correct billing zip code, and the CVV number. The CVV (Credit Verification Value) number is the last three digit number from the back of your card, usually in the signing box. (On AMEX cards it’s the four numbers printed on the front. WE MUST HAVE THIS NUMBER AND THE EXPIRATION DATE OR YOUR REQUEST CAN’T BE PROCESSED. Our bank has asked us not to keep info on file for security. Don’t ask us to “use the same one” (A.) 6. PENS & PLACEMENTYou can send your own pens, but we do this a lot, so we have every kind of sharpie, fine point or regular on hand, as well as silver & gold metallic pens in medium or fine point. If there’s a pen you need to specifically match, send it along. PLEASE tell us WHERE to sign and WHAT COLOR pen to use. EXAMPLES 7.

RISK & LIABILITYWe have only had a couple of complaints with our custom signing service, out of thousands of satisfied customers.
