Apollo 11 was the first spaceflight that landed humans on the moon, led by mission commander (and first man to walk on the moon) Neil Armstrong in 1969. A unique piece with great appeal for the baseball and space autograph collector alike, presented here is an Official American League (Cronin) vintage baseball boldly hand signed in black inks by all three Apollo 11 crew members: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. In overall fine condition with toning and fading to the ball as well as some fading to Armstrong's autograph. There is also a rogue blue ballpoint pen mark that crosses slightly with Armstrong's autograph. Aldrin and Collins' autographs stand out boldly and all three autographs still display nicely. Any memorabilia signed by all three crew members of one of the most famous spaceflights in history is rare in itself - this is the first baseball with the grouping that we've ever seen! Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
