In 1974 I was presented with an award by Neil Armstrong. It was lithograph of Neil as he was about to step from the ladder to put his foot on the moon. It has printed at the bottom: "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" It was personaly signed by Neil Armstrong, I was at his side so I know it is genuine. It measures 22" by 16" and is in a good frame. I also have a photo of the two of us shaking hands. I have ill health and are about to retire. I would like to offer it for sale. Any suggestions on how I would sell it and for how much. I beleive there was only 24 copies printed and the plate was destroyed. It is a very unusual piece. I have never seen anything like it for sale.

RRAuction gets reliably high values for Armstrong signed material and the fact that they run their auctions monthly means you don't need to wait too long to get it listed.

Astro-auction.com is FREE, is targeted to space collectors, and regularly sells high-end stuff. It isn't advertised because it isn't in anyone's interest to. Sellers as well as buyers like to keep it a exclusive club.
You've got nothing to lose.

Sell it via a reputable auction house. There are a number listed in the auctions forum. You'll gain the best selling price with the largest exposure.
