I mentioned in a previous post that I'm helping out with a friend's benefit auction (thanks again to those of you that contributed monies!) and I'm going through my collection to see what I can donate.

Before I donate this for sale, I wanted to verify that it's likely authentic. I got it through the mail many moons ago — it's slightly off sized (smaller than the personalized 4x6 of the same image that he also enclosed).

My fear is a preprint more than a secretarial or autopen, but I just want to make sure. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

I am not aware of preprints coming from Gene Kranz. Signature looks ok in my opinion.

Thanks — I have no eye for preprints.

I was just concerned due to its being a different size and signed in a different pen than the personalized one that he also sent me.

It's good. I've worked with Gene for many years and can tell you that he doesn't utilize secretarials, autopen or facsimile signatures as far as I'm aware.
