Author	Topic: 151877524750: Bykovsky inscribed postcard
RichieB16 Member Posts: 552 From: Oregon Registered: Feb 2003	posted 03-06-2016 08:14 PM I am very interested in adding this Valeri Bykovsky autograph to my collection provided it is what the seller says it is. I think if this is real, it would be a really unique item to add to my collection. Can someone here confirm that it is actually inscribed to Alan Bean (and if possible even translate the inscription)? Also, the autograph looks good to me (although it is a little smeared), but I am far from an expert. It doesn't appear to be an obvious forgery but an additional opinion or two would be helpful. Thanks.

A little crazy a lot of price formation as well. A dedication? Where did the A. Bean, too? That dedication is A. Bishu (Binu) with good (best) wishes...

MIsterTrunk Member Posts: 59 From: Moscow, Russia Registered: Feb 2015	posted 03-08-2016 04:49 AM Actually in russian it's signed as "А. Бину" In english it's "To A. Bean". I'm russian and I know what I'm talking about. Maybe there was another A. Bean... Autograph itself is genuine in my opinion. The seller isn't autograph dealer so the price isn't high. I wouldn't pass on this.
Lev M Member Posts: 139 From: Canada Registered: Nov 2012	posted 03-08-2016 07:39 AM I agree with MIsterTrunk. There is no "A. Bishu" on that postcard. It's clearly says "А. Бину" (in Russian) which means "To A. Bean".
Daniel Lazecky Member Posts: 480 From: Czech Republic-Europe Registered: Oct 2007	posted 03-08-2016 08:56 AM Will be surprisingly interesting to hear the story of how the autograph did not reach A. Bean.
