I'd be grateful if those who have more experience could look at my signed photos and let me have their opinion - on or offlist. I've gone through the autopen guides I could find and with the exception of the Shepard believe them to be good.

The Anders I've put into it's own folder with a better picture on the overall signautre and some not so good close ups. That in particular I would like looked at. It is close to the one autopen I've seen with 'William' in it - but I can see too many variants for me to believe it is an autopen - or at least one from that matrix. I understand the idea about the dots, however I have seen genuine autographs with that type of pen where the end of the line has a dot.

Opinions on the Armstrong index card would also be appreciated as I believe it to be good having again looked at the autopen guides.

I'm happy to email any of the images for closer inspection. All are availabe for purchase, I just don't want to be offering goods under false pretences.

Thanks in advance for all and any help you can give.

The Anders sig could be real. I'll leave it to more of an expert to judge this one.

In your main gallery the Gordon WSS looks like an Autopen to me, although I could be wrong. The Thornton WSS certainly looks like an AP.

The 3rd gallery contains some known APs, as I guess you realise: Schirra, England, and both Shepards. On the other hand the Schmitts all look okay to me (though his real sigs often look AP-like), and the Bobko is not an AP.

Thanks for your input. I did know about the Schirra and Shepard, the only reason I put the Shepards up was that the previous owner had marked one on the back as Real - and they looked similiar Tony England, mystery how that one got there as it's already nice and snug in my autopen folder. Oppsie

Thornton was again one I was umning and arring about as it looked like a combination of the 2 AP matrix in scificard.co.uk guide.

Thanks again for your help it's most appreciated.
