I bought a box full of frames that had space items from an antique store a few hours from where I live. I ran into some pretty cool vintage photos and autographs and noticed this fella was in there:

Close up of Armstrong:

Close up of Collins:

Close up of Aldrin:

The back of the photo:

It seems as though the photo was never inscribed or anything. What struck me was that I didn't even think it was signed at first glance until I picked it up a second time.

It has pretty bad sunlight damage but nevertheless, signed by the Apollo 11 crew!!

Does it have any sort of value due to the damage? I don't think I will sell this one; the only way it would leave is if somehow I could get another A11 item, but that doesn't sound like reality. Let me know what you guys think.

Send it back to the astronauts explaining the damage and look for a newly signed one in the mail. This has worked with other astronauts.

Not likely to work but a fun find for you.
