I originally posted this for sale or trade but I received a message expressing concern about the signature so I thought I’d see what the forum thinks. All opinions are welcome and appreciated.

Stuart Roosa-signed unusual 8x10 NASA-issued photo. Clean signature in blue ballpoint pen. Very good to excellent condition (very minor corner wear).

I'm really not sure as to the value of this one, so advice is appreciated. Apologies for the photos, message me if you want me to take any more!

I don't know Roosa's autograph well enough to speak with any kind of authority, but there does appear to be a hesitancy in some of the pen strokes as well as some odd shaping to some of the letters. Both concerns could be explained away if the autograph is authentic, but I think you were right to pause the sale and seek more opinions.

Thanks Robert, yes I'd hate to offer something that wasn't the real deal, I didn't have doubts but I'm not an authority on Roosa's autograph by any means!

I’ve posted a few more pictures to Flickr for a better look.

I figure I might as well get opinions on this recent Roosa autograph acquisition, too. My confidence in my assessing abilities is a bit shot at present!
