I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS ITEM INDEPENDENTLY EXAMINED AND AUTHENTICATED IN THE US BY PSA - THE BUYER WILL RECEIVE THE ORIGINAL AUTHENTICATION LETTER WITH THE BOOK.

BOTH book and authentication letter carry identical tamper-proof authenticator numbering: X04485.

This is one of those listings where I think I will let the attached photos do most of the talking.

Yuri Gagarin (1934 - 1968) became the first human being in space when, travelling on Vostok 1, he completed one orbit of Earth on 12th April 1961, with his flight taking 108 minutes.

By achieving this major milestone for the Soviet Union amidst the Space Race, he became an international celebrity and was awarded many medals and titles, including his country's highest distinction: Hero of the Soviet Union.

So, if you are looking for a unique item of space memorabilia, well, look no further.

FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, HERE IS A FIRST-EDITION OF "THE PROGRAM OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION" THAT HAS BEEN PERSONALLY SIGNED GAGARIN.

The 285-page book is approx 6.5-inches by 5-inches - unopened.

The book remains is in great condition.

Gagarin's signature is permanent.

Gagarin's signature is crystal clear, totally legible and completely free from any stains, smears, smudges or bleeding.

A wonderful item from a man with a unique place in the history of space exploration.

As always - no nonsense - I GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS AND EVERY SIGNATURE IN MY COLLECTION FOR LIFE or your money back and I put that in writing too!
