As demand for his signature increased, he changed to either signing as "Mike Collins" or "MCollins." I seem to recall that Novaspace requested that he sign as "Michael Collins" again for the paid signings, because they assumed that's what most customers wanted. I agree that was a good move on their part. (Now if they could only talk Frank Borman into signing the last two letters of his last name!)
