Possibly signed at one of the two events in NYC (since as of this posting there are six days, 12 hours left in the auction and the seller is from New York, NY), this STS-135 crew pic can be yours... for only $1,000. (Never mind the crew must have signed about 100 of these in the past two days alone.)

Or Buy It Now for $1,100. And you still have to pay $5 shipping and handling.

Sigh. For that much, I doubt they'll even find a buyer.

It's not so much the price that's the deterrent, it's the seller having zero feedback...

Considering the STS-134 crew in its entirety is going to be in Germany, I wonder how much a signed crew pic will go for?

It is most helpful too that the scan is done so that you cannot check authenticity. I wouldn't even exclude they were autopen.

Where does the reference to the New York signing come from? Didn't find that claim in the lot's description.

This is an autopen. I have two that are signed exactly the same place. My original is bolder and in a different spot.

Definitely looks like an autopen; at the NYC event I attended (AMNH), they signed all the crew lithos provided horizontal, not vertical, and were tighter and less 'bold'.

It was back up fro sale. The guy said he saw them sign it. When I asked about it and showed him it was fake, about a few hours later it was ended. So maybe he got the hint.

At these events, are they inscribing the photos? So what would a signed 135 be worth?

At the Eventi hotel, I saw at least one crew member inscribing their portrait litho. So it may be possible that the crew litho could also be inscribed - but the greater possibility is that with the number of people wanting autographs (especially with the initial rule of one per, go to the back of the line to try for a second one), they were just signing their names, no inscriptions.
