I don't like it. If it's real (and that's a huge IF), it's extremely atypical. The likely explanation, of course, is that it's a forgery.

Also, Cooper signed cuts or 3x5s can usually be found for much less.

I do not like it either. I have a typed letter signed by Cooper for sale if interested. I will send a scan.

Rob,

This is not a good example of a Gordon Cooper autograph. If your looking for an authentic Cooper, contact Gerry Montague "MINTSPACE" at AstronautArchieves.
Look up his website under websites in this forum under dealers. No one has more Cooper autographs than him.

Best,

Bob
