I have a signed, uninscribed 8x10 black and white photo of Alan Shepard with the word "MOONSHOT" printed on the bottom edge. It's his standard photo, in WSS in front of a large Apollo 14 mission logo as backdrop. I was told these were promo photos signed by Shepard at designated "stops" along a country-wide promo tour that was set up by Ted Turner to advertise his movie.

This is the only one I've ever seen, so I'm wondering if it has any additional value over the regular color shot that has been autographed.

In my view, the black and white Moonshot promotional photos would have less value than an official NASA portrait lithograph or photograph.
