T O P I C R E V I E WMikeDeeI have this cover sitting in my collection for quite some time. I think it is signed by Bob Lawrence. I can't seem to find any references to his signature to compare it to. Does anyone have any insight on this signature?Apollo-SoyuzCover looks like a Riser fake.MikeDeeWhat is a Riser Fake? Thanks for the info.MikeDeeOK got it now. The Riser fake covers. Plugged 9 and so on. Boy I hope this isn't one of them. Any way to know for sure? If it is a Riser fake would that also indicate the signature is fake?Thanks.micropoozUnfortunately this is almost identical to a Riser fake MOL cancellation with a suspect inscription and autograph that Paul Bulver identifies on Page 2.11 of his CD: "Study of Suspect Space Covers", second edition, 2001. Image below: And just a bit of a clarification, the Plugged 9's mentioned above were RONSON suspect covers, not Risers. Two shady cover makers with easy-to-confuse names!Ken HavekotteYes, even the other signatures of the MOL/NASA astronauts on the overlay are of Riser origin as well. Everything about the cover type, cancel, cachet, and signature were all created by Riser.MikeDeeWell that just stinks. Thanks very much for all of the great information.
Thanks.
