Many decades ago, I mailed for Neil Armstrong's autograph and received the popular 8x10 NASA Apollo 11 official photo. The signature looks real to me, but wondering the best place to get it authenticated? Also, what is a fair value? EBay has them for some for some unbelievable prices. Thanks so much. |

First of all, welcome! Lots of nice folks here and lots of good info as well.The first question is, is the autograph personalized to you (or someone)? That will affect the value as unpersonalized Armstrong signed lithos tend to sell for more. Armstrong also had several autopen patterns. Those patterns are machine-generated autographs. You did not mention the time frame when you sent for his autograph; you were more likely to receive an autopen while Armstrong was an active astronaut, especially around the time of Apollo 11. Steve Zarelli is pretty much considered the authority on Armstrong autographs. You can request an email opinion from him for a reasonable price and if all looks good you can then send it in to him to receive his certificate of authenticity if it passes muster. You can also post a pic of the piece here. There are lots of very experienced collectors who can at least tell you if it is definitely not authentic. Cheers! |

I can only confirm. Steve is the best. He has certified many Armstrong autographs for me and saved me from making expensive bad purchases. | |
