I came across these Apollo 11 signatures. They do not look printed but could be autopens.

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

They don't match any autopen patterns. I'm not an expert, but they don't look like obvious forgeries. My feeling is that they're authentic.

However, for something as expensive as the Apollo 11 crew, I always recommend getting an email opinion from Steve Zarelli. He'll be able to tell you quickly if there are any problems.

The signatures are printed onto the envelope; they are reproductions.

Another cover from the same production run was posted here in 2016.

Although printed in the U.S., the cover was produced for sale in Germany.

Thanks! It was being offered as non-printed. Thanks for the hint!
