gareth89 Member Posts: 659 From: Ireland Registered: May 2014	posted 11-29-2024 11:24 AM I’d like to hear your thoughts on this signed postcard before potentially sending it to the big man (Zarelli) for authentication. I'm not sure about the Stafford or Borman signatures and that's put the others in doubt for me. Your opinions as always are greatly appreciated.

A second observation is that the Frank Borman signature seems to have been written using a felt tip pen, and would therefore equally be unlikely to be an autopen signature. On balance, I'd say they look genuine.
