I came across this cover signed by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. I don't have any info on the provenance. The signatures look quite good to me. But I am not sure. Does anybody of you have an idea whether those are genuine?

Are you a glass half good or glass half fake type person?

A cryptic answer Steve. So I'm guessing one is good and one is not?

In my opinion, that is correct.

You have to tip your hat to a forger who adds an Aldrin to a good Armstrong. D on execution, but an A on confidence.

The Aldrin ruined an otherwise good piece.

Forger probably thought it was worth a try as Aldrin now charges $1500 to add to an Armstrong. So what what was it worth (Armstrong only)? So what's it worth now? What would it be worth if both signatures were good?

It's a shame as you can't seem to get a good cut of the Armstrong to save it. Ho Hum.
