Any thoughts on the autographs listed in this auction, particularly the Armstrongs? Some of the covers interest me. |

Someone can take a closer look, but after a quick browse, it looks like all of the Armstrong autographs (both pictured above and the others in the auction) are autopen (as are many of the other astronaut "signed" covers). |

In my opinion, all of the astronaut autographs are autopen signatures. A few of the test pilot signatures look good. I've never seen autopens from Edwards AFB / Dryden pilots, but I don't like the signature on the X-15 cover signed by Armstrong. I have a few early Armstrong autographs, the one on the cover looks like a hybrid between his Edwards/Gemini days and his Apollo era autographs. One funny thing I noticed was the name of Isadore Adler signed on a cover. I bought quite a few artifacts from Izzy many years ago. |

It looks like all of the NASA astronauts (except Lovell and Swigert) are classic vintage autopens, but with some questionable X-15 test pilot signatures, along with a good Christopher Kraft and Charles Berry that I can see. In briefly seeing the James Lovell, I would not be happy with it and Swigert. Just my 2-cents worth. | |
