I just saw this on eBay and it made me smile. Looks like a genuine signature to me and doesn't match any autopens I can find. Any opinions would be appreciated. |

Good thing I have a few already. The market for these bad boys could start taking off at anytime. |

Watch the inflation on that bad boy. This is where the world of autographs comes tumbling down. |

I don't know, doesn't look like any of the exemplars that I have seen. The letters look squashed together and the loop in the letters l are not in character. Could this be one of the Baden Baden schnapps signatures?

It might be a crude secretarial. |

Florian, do you have an exclusive signing agreement with "wamco", or will you still be signing through the mail and at booksignings? |

Actually, Florian and I have just been co-operating to use a scanned signature now to respond to all the fan mail he is getting now. He is experiencing such a mass of mail at the moment he can hardly handle that any longer. Thank you for your understanding!  PS: Genuine autographs are still available at $100 a piece, just as Florian said. |

Glad I already have mine. It came with some dirty old bit of junk stuck to a picture. Not sure what that was all about so tossed it. |

I just received one of the famous Noller signatures today. I bought an item on ebay and it came with a signed authentication letter from Florian. Which is worth more the Grissom piece or the Noller signed LOA? |

Just as a goof, I messaged the seller and asked who this Noller was. He stated quite clearing the "well known space collectibles dealer". I followed it up asking if there was any special notoriety to this man, and he said "that depends on what you consider".Congrats Flo - new notoriety! |

I am kicking myself for giving away his signature on COAs with some flown items I traded |

This new trend could go viral. Florian, start talking to your agent regarding some good TV spots. We could have a new thing going here with this new found fame. |

Although I've got a stash of your signed letters, I just knew it was worth holding onto them, I am missing one of your rare signed 10x8 lithos. Any chance of getting one with my next order? |

Note that Florian will join the signing session during Astrophil 2013 at Berlin on 13 April 2013. On this unique occasion, he will grant autographs for free. (Actually, the entire signing event is sponsored by spaceflori.com!) |

Is that an autopen? |

There are no known patterns for autopen. My concern would be with a pre-print or possible high quality digital scan and copy. |

Funny story. I've been looking for a good vintage uninscribed Mac Tonight photo in business suit for several years. I found one recently as part of a small lot at a local auction house. I didn't have time to examine the lot up close prior to the auction but took a chance on it, untimely winning but spending way too much. Adding insult to injury, it turned out that the Mac signature was an autopen.
Long story short, upon examining my winning lot, I was shocked to find a pristine, authentic and vintage Florian Noller TLS. I've since doubled my money on just the Noller! Sometimes you just get lucky. |

Personally, I would be cautious of any German-sourced forgeries. For all we know, the German forger might still be selling items, now including a Spaceflori COA. |
