One of Charlie Duke’s personal NASA business cards, 3.5 x 2, signed on the reverse in black ink and felt tip, “C. A. Lindbergh,” “Bill Anders,” “James Lovell,” and “Frank Borman.” Card is also signed on the front in blue ink by Duke. In fine condition, with scattered mild soiling to both sides, and a couple trivial brushes to Lindbergh’s signature. Accompanied by a 2005 letter of authenticity signed by Duke which reads, in part: “During the wait for the liftoff of Apollo 11, at the VIP viewing area, I spoke with the crew of Apollo 8…also at the viewing area was Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. I thought it would be nice to obtain the autographs of these remarkable men on my business card. Each was kind enough to oblige my request. Since that time it has remained a treasured part of my personal space collection.” A unique and fitting combination of the first human to fly from the ‘New World’ to the ‘Old World’ and the first humans to leave Earth.
