I got this Manned Flight Awareness package with a signed crew photo. Can you guys tell if these are real or autopen? I have no expertise in this area. Thanks.

It does look (at first glance) like an autopen, but there are some subtle differences specimens I have and this one.

It looks like they used different pen/marker for the different signatures. Would they do that with an autopen?

I couldn't get a hi res of your image until just now. A review convinces me this is the real thing.

I think Linenger's signature looks a little different than the norm. But I could be wrong. Helms' also doesn't convince.

All other sigs are spot on!

I have plenty of Helm specimens (real and autopen) and this one looks perfectly normal.
