Without using the "F" word IMO this is off the scale of suspiciousness:

Highly atypical, in my humble opinion.

The emergence of these atypical signatures with inscriptions is increasing. We should all be on the alert not only for forgeries but also for possible forged inscriptions too. A more detailed analysis of Armstrong's handwriting, not just signatures is needed, too.

What concerns me even more is the description "we have sold over 100000 autographs"...I cannot tell about his movie stars, but if they are like this Neil...oh well...glad I never collected Movie stars !

This one is a real "knee slapper". I emailed the seller and told him that he needs to get a refund from whomever he got it from (snicker). I also told him that whoever signed it did not pay attention. I wonder who signed it ? Donald "No Expert required on this one " Brady

This guy has been selling highly "atypical" autographs for over 3 years now on Ebay. He's sold a few autographs of other people I collect and none of them looked good at all.

Note the name, Tony, just happens to start with the often seen "To".

I agree with Tahir - an inscription is just another aid, not a guarantee.
