Neil Armstrong - real or fake?

Hello!

Please give me your opinion on this Neil Armstrong autograph!

A friend of mine got this in 1979 when he wrote to Neils homeadress in Cincinnati (I think it was...) and got this in return. It also has an inscription that says just To and then my friends name.

What do you think, real or fake?

Thanks for helping!

Based on review of the image only, it appears authentic.

Thank you Zipper! Anyone else who can give their opinion?

Just out of curiosity, I don't think my friend ever would sell these. But if, what is the approximatly "retailprice" for the following 3 autographs?

He has:

1. This Neil Armstrong with a dedication. The signature is a little faded around the edges, but clear "in the middle" of the signature. Sorry for my bad english, hopefully you get what I mean... :-)

2. Buzz Aldrin with dedication. Top shape signature. Recieved ttm in 1979 when my friend wrote directly to NASA.

3. Michael Collins without dedication. Top shape signature. Also recieved ttm in 1979 when sent to NASA together with the request for Buzz Aldrin.

I don't have any photos of Buzz and Collins, but I'm all but sure that these two is genuine!

All 3 photos (10x8, in great shape) is the ones there the austronauts stand in their spacesuits, with the helmet besides them and the moon in the background.

What do you, or anyone else helpful, think they might be worth?

Thanks for helping!

Approximate estimates that can vary based on selling venue and condition of litho itself...

- Armstrong $1,200

- Collins $300

- Aldrin $75

The only opinion you need here is from Mr. Zipper.  He's "The Man" when it comes to Neil Armstrong's autograph.

Thank you Christopher, I didn't know that. Really good to know, my friend will be glad to hear this!

Christopher beat me to it, but what he says is fact.  If Mr. Zipper "thumbs up" an astronaut's signature, you can take it to the bank.
