This looks very dodgy - I would advise people to stay well clear. Any opinions? |

The signature of Collins in blue ink, just below the word "OCTOBER" and shown in the first picture, looks like authentic.The three signatures in black ink are forged for sure. |

I agree the blue Collins looks ok - if so - what a waste by adding the fake signatures! Greed makes waste... |

Yes, I had an inkling myself that the blue Collins was probably authentic - what a pity that someone has gone and ruined a good Collins signed item! |

The seller is obviously not knowledgeable about astronaut autographs because he doesn't seem to recognize the blue Collins autograph by stating "There is some small writing in blue pen on the cover."If he purchased this for resale, I think he was duped and actually believes the lower signatures to be authentic. Has anyone contacted him about this? |

I unfortunately never contacted the seller to pull this item, did anyone else?I say unfortunately because it looks like one bidder just won the item and paid $600 for it, oh dear... |
