May I ask what the perception is of this Buzz Aldrin signed print? It doesn't look quite right to me for a few reasons, but I'm no expert.

Liked the print as it's different to the familiar signed ones.

A photo print of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planting the U.S. flag on the Moon. The full signature line reads, "WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND" Buzz Aldrin APOLLO 11. Mr. Aldrin used a black permanent marker and the print lays behind plexiglass and a basic frame. The print measures 21" x 17" and the frame is 25.5"x 19.25". The photo was printed in 1969, later to be signed by astronaut Aldrin.

Description is odd. This may be a printed autograph rather than hand signed by Aldrin.

There doesn't appear to be any COA (for what that may or may not be worth) and somewhat oddly the seller asserts that the photo was printed in 1969 but signed later by Aldrin — without any personal anecdote/documentation about how he/she knows that. Raises questions and breeds skepticism doesn't it?

I suspect the print date is based on the information printed in the lower right margin of the print. Unfortunately, it is too small to read in the photo provided.

All times are CT (US)
