I have been seeing a lot of expensive John Glenn signatures lately. This is just one example.Why do people charge so much? He has always been a "gracious signer" at no charge through the mail. |

My guess: People may not know he signs for free through the mail; people may not want to wait to get a John Glenn signature through the mail. |

I dont understand the price for recent signatures, but I think the vintage JH GLenn JR would be worth alot more? |

You are likely correct. I do not see recent items signed in that manner. All the items I have, either through the mail or in person, have just been John Glenn. I do have some of the "older" style signatures, all on older items. |

Well, it goes without saying that if John Glenn had decided to be other than extremely generous with his signature, a John Glenn autograph would be worth a small fortune right now. He doesn't need my praise, but the man is a true hero in every sense of the word. Thank you, John Glenn. |

I wouldn't take that eBay auction as an indicator of what his signature is worth on the marketplace. There are always a number of dealers and eBay sellers who overprice their items in an attempt to lure a less knowledgable collector into paying those inflated prices. Move the decimal point one digit to the left and you have a more realistic estimate on what it's worth. |
