Author	Topic: Apollo 11 signatures on first day cover
WileECoyoteIT Member Posts: 69 From: Italy Registered: Jul 2016	posted 08-15-2022 12:16 PM I came across these Apollo 11 signatures. They do not look printed but could be autopens. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

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.

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.
