A Neil Armstrong single signed baseball from celebrity collector Tim Johnson purportedly from a Florida golf course chance signing in the early 1990s drew $4,932 in last night's bidding on Premier Auctions Online (about $6,000 after commissions).
On the opposite spectrum, from same collector and auction, a Sally K. Ride baseball (with accompanying transmittal letter from her office) sold for $90.

I saw this ball in person and it was the best signed baseball of Armstrong I have ever seen (granted, I have seen only a few). The pre-auction estimate was $5,000, so it was on the money. PSA/DNA passed the signature as well.
