I was lucky enough recently to get the photo of Neil Armstrong on the moon autographed. I have been checking around and haven't seen another. I'm not looking to sell, was just curious if there are more out there. Thanks.

I am not in a position to verify the authenticity of the signature but I seem to recall this shot was confirmed as being the only shot of Armstrong on the surface about the time he stopped signing, circa 1994.
If it is genuine then I'd imagine it is not common.

Thanks for the response. Here is the letter from Armstrong regarding it.

The first public notice that this photo was of him (based on his own identification) was apparently in Spaceflight magazine in December 1987.
