Author	Topic: 362423049666: Neil Armstrong signed book
Ianhetho Member Posts: 109 From: Bogangar NSW Australia Registered: May 2018	posted 08-28-2018 04:16 AM There is an interesting item on eBay finishing soon. Neil Armstrong signed copy of "First On The Moon" book (362423049666). Any opinions would be appreciated, I'm thinking of risking a bid.

It appears there is a correction with the (N) and also it seems as though there is hesitation with the (A). Hopefully others will offer an opinion.

Unfortunately, the end result is the defacing of a first edition of "First on the Moon." Fortunately, they printed a lot of those books in the first edition so they are pretty easy to find. I'm pretty comfortable in saying that book was not signed by Neil Armstrong.
