Need help with John Candy, Neil Armstrong, Christopher Reeve sigs please

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum but have been browsing this site for several weeks. I've learned a lot from reading all your posts. I'm hoping you can help me with a few autographs I have. Sorry if I'm doing this incorrectly - if I should be posting one discussion per autograph please let me know. :)

Some background: My uncle and I sent out requests for autographs through the mail from 92-94. We always sent a 3x5 index card and SASE with our request. We mostly got the signed card back but once in a while we'd get a signed picture back too. All my autographs are from these years, and I'm not sure which ones are authentic, or if they were secretarial or autopen. I'm guessing most were NOT authentic, since they were mail requests. I'm interested in putting some of these up for sale if they are indeed authentic.

Any opinions and advice you have on these would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I think the Armstrong may be an autopen as he used several different ones over the years but I am not an expert on his signature. Mr. Zipper is the space expert and I'm sure he will chime in.

His opinion will be the important one as he is one of the foremost space and aviation experts.

If it is authentic, it is pretty valuable. Retail value would be $750 or so.

Reeve is authentic, the other 2 are both autopens I believe

I'm so sorry! I haven't had a chance to get on this site for a while and I didn't see everyone's responses until now.

Thank you all for checking these out for me. Great news on the Christopher Reeve! I'll try and do more research on the other two and see if I can find autopen examples matching the ones I have. If Mr. Zipper can weigh in on the Neil Armstrong that would be great as well. I've followed his posts before and he definitely knows his stuff!

Thank you again for your help. :-)
