Okay, so I'm going through all my space items, autographs, photos, stuff. While I'm looking through the autographs I find a 8x10 NASA litho that I received in the mid 80's when I wrote to NASA, asking them how I go about getting NASA photos. The next thing I know I receive an envelope that has about 75 photos in it. Two of them are signed, one by Michael Collins that I could tell was an autopen and the other is a NASA litho of Apollo 8 crew. The litho is signed by James Lovell and Frank Borman.

Here is my question: Could anyone tell me if the two signatures are authentic, autopen, or secretarial? I'm now pushing 60 and have lost my interest in collecting and plan on selling everything on eBay.

I do not want to sell anything as authentic when I'm not completely certain of it.
Please take a look and if you could be of help it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ron

(Also, I have six 16x20 Dave Scott photos [purchased from Destiny Space] that the signatures are feathered. I do not feel comfortable selling. If anyone would want them, you can have them for the cost of postage. I do not want to package them all separate, so first to let me know gets all.)

Thank you,
