Michael Collins private signing at Astronaut Central

/

On March 3, Novaspace/Astronaut Central conducted a private signing with Michael Collins. This is the one signing Collins does all year and he refuses all other requests, paid or through the mail. I sometimes feel like I have to take advantage of the "one time a year opportunity."

The challenge with Collins is there are not a whole lot of great individual poses for him. Certainly one could send the standard white space suit or business suit pose, but in all candor, you can get those on the secondary market for less than Collin's signing fee. So, if you are going to send something in, you need to make it worth your while.

With the help of a friend, I found this great Collins bubble helmet pose, so I had to get it signed for my collection.
