I have a photo that is signed by Wernher Von Braun, Mueller, and three others:

All the signatures appear to be real and the photo is in very fine condition. Does anyone here have any idea who the other men are and how much this photo might be worth? Thanks a lot!

The signatures belong to (left to right):

• George Mueller, Associate Administrator of the NASA Office of Manned Space Flight
  
• Samuel Phillips, Director of NASA's Apollo Manned Lunar Landing Program
  
• Kurt Debus, Director of NASA's Kennedy Space Center
  
• Robert Gilruth, Director of NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center (Johnson Space Center)
  
• Wernher von Braun, Director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

With that said, the autographs themselves (and the inscription) are not authentic. They are pre-prints — printed with the photo when it was reproduced.

This is a well-known pre-printed signed photo, which was distributed to hundreds of NASA employees in appreciation for their work on the Apollo program.

Thank you Robert!

Although you are more then likely right, being much more of an expert then myself, how would one go about verifying that the signatures are not authentic?

And again, thank you for your help!
