I picked up this Apollo 11 crew signed photo as part of an autograph lot a long time ago. It has clearly seen sunny days (as did most of the items in the lot) but you can still kind of see them.I tried to find a similar piece and came up empty handed. Is there a market for these and, if so, what would be a ballpark value for it? Because of the condition, I don't want to go through the hassle of having it authenticated; Besides, I am downsizing. Any advice/opinions would help!

I'm struggling to make out any signatures at all. I think sadly it will have little to no value. I think it is too badly faded and not restorable. |

I am seeing some ink strokes over Aldrin, however, I can't make them out and they look odd for the most part of what an Aldrin autograph should resemble. Of course, though, I really shouldn't say anything as the whole signature is so badly faded. So disregard this post of mine. |

Sadly, in my experience, the signatures have been exposed to natural light over too long a period. They will simply continue to deteriorate and eventually vanish entirely. |
