Any thoughts on these from the July R&R Enterprises auction? One or two seem familiar - perhaps recently on ebay? |

I don't personally care for Lot 421. If I were to bid on Lot 420, I'd like to know a little more about its history. It could be real...just a little atypical. If bidding, perhaps ask R&R if they can provide any provenance for these items. |

I'm with you, Mark, on 420 & 421. I couldn't put my finger on it, but something just bugged me about them. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.Now I do now recall 419 from ebay. No comments on cS about if it was good or bad though. Signature seems Ok to me. Wouldn't an Armstrong forger be more careful not to cross the page division which lends to additional scrutiny? 423 Thanks for the research. I see that Scott gave it the thumbs up. How about that "Spirit" print, 422? I'm not familiar with that one. I can't find any info on it. Looks like a small run too. Was wondering if Armstrong signed all copies or just that one. Is this a "recognized" signed print? Thanks! |

I would like to place a bid for the Swigert autograph. I would be grateful if someone could just say that it looked ok or not being a complete novice at this, thanks. |

A-OK. Swigert sent out a lot of these signed small cards and they are an excellent way to obtain his authentic autograph |

Does anyone have an opinion on Lot #432 (Michael Collins signed postal cover)? |

I purchased item #421 although I had the same concerns as most here.As soon as I get it I will send it to PASS-CO to get a reputable 3rd opinion. I will let everyone knows what the outcome is if there is any interest. Randy |

The links to the items listed from the July action now all have different pictures. Same numbers, but different items. Odd. This makes it very difficult to go back and match up comments to the item. I don't recall R&R doing this before. |

It's because the August auction is now posted. |

Re: #421--No way can this be authentic since Armstrong stopped signing postal covers around 1970. Everything is "off" with this one, from my opinion, in regards to the signature pattern, type of pen-ink used, and more. Didn't I say earlier to stay away from it and I wasn't partial to Lot #420 either. |

Who is PASS-CO? I never heard of them? I tried to get the opinions on 420 and 421 a few weeks ago and as usual nobody listens to me. Oh well... now onto the August auction...Mike |
