Hello

What do you think aout this Armstrong's autograph ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=416&item=3921995688&rd=1

Seems to be Autopen... The seller has no Certificate of Authenticity, but just a copy of letter of Armstrong Office Desk who have sending with ''Autograph Litho''. I have receive by the Past similar letter with Autopen.
41£ or $75 seems much money for an Autopen

Just my opinion, but this one looks completely genuine to me.

Niel Armstrong...

That one has got to be fake since I doubt Neil would misspell his own name.

Coorect Steve, book came on the market in 1999 or 2000, so no chance Neil Armstrong was signing items that time !
Nice trick of the "Fakers" to use Private auction so nobody can warn the 'stupid' biddes !

I noticed something different while checking out the feedback of one of these sellers. People now have the option of keeping their feedback private. I clicked on "read sellers feedback" and while it does show the number of negative ratings you can not read any of the feedbacks.

Needless to say I would not bid on an item from someone that does that.

Mike,
Actually eBay members have been able to keep their feedback private for many years, but as you mention it looks very very bad and so it is rarely done.

Scott,

I did not know that. This must have been the first time I checked on someone that had blocked it. I agree that it sends a loud message that someone needs to be carefull.
