I just came across this auction on eBay for a NASA letter signed by both Gemini astronauts Young and Grissom. I would appreciate any input on the authenticity of this item. Do the signatures look like autopens?

Yes Autopen although the seller states that they aren't.

Many thanks for all your help. I had my doubts even after I wrote to the seller and he assured me that this was authentic. The price was also too good to be true. I've seen authentic Grissom signatures on photos and or letters and they go for thousands not hundreds and as we all know Young's signature fee these days is around $500.00.
Thanks to this awesome site and its members we can all avoid getting ripped off.
