I'm surprised Rick signed touching his dad's signature, and wonder what steep price Buzz Aldrin asked for to have this signed, whereby you declined to have it signed further.

I asked Rick to sign below his father, he took a moment and then turned to me and said ''are you sure?''. I'll admit, it put a smile on my face!

I think he just signed where the pencil landed, rather than thinking about it. Personally I don't understand why people are so anal about signatures touching, as if it somehow makes a difference. It is still a signature and it is still a wonderful piece of artwork commemorating an incredible man. But I value history and art over all else, not everyone is like that.

Buzz wanted $2500 and I have another which I still plan on having signed by Buzz. I was going to have him sign it then offer it up for sale, but I can't see an opportunity to do so on the horizon and I know some people prefer to have these things done themselves, so why take away the fun?

Just a suggestion, but it would be a lot cheaper than $2,500 to get the Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin giclees by artist Thomas Smith (done in the same style as the Calle).

Chris Bazil commissioned these awesome pencil drawings and I bought my two direct from him. The set of three (all signed) looks great, but does take up some "space."
