Looks good.

One item to note is that it is a signed photo of the Mercury Atlas rocket... a spacecraft Armstrong never flew. While it is obviously of value and still a nice item, it is diminished slightly by the lack of association.

Thanks Zipper, I'm very thankful for your help!

What do you think of the condition of the signature and the value, considering the lack of association? The seller want's at least $460 for this.

Are you kidding? For $460 buy it twice. :-)

$1,100 would be my absolute top. To feel like I was getting a deal, I'd want it for $900 or less.

The factors that weigh against it are personalized, black and white, ballpoint signature, and a photo that is not a close association. 

What it has going for it is the Apollo 11 inscription which is not common.
