Would this crew-signed Apollo 11 cover be considered personalized and take away from the value of the signatures? Either way what would the value be? |

It is post dated Jul 20, 1969. Not sure if it is legible. |

I have no issue with a postal cover being addressed. On the question of value of this item, I think the address distracts from focusing on the signatures, so it would be less valuable than an unaddressed cover. Still would be a desirable cover if signatures are authentic. |

Thank you for the input, Signatures are authentic. I would money back guarantee that in writing if I was to sell it, or have it authenticated first. Thanks again, Bobby |

It's a period piece, but I trust it was appropriately priced. |

I didn't buy it Mike, its a one owner. The address on the card was the house I grew up in. My father mailed it to our house to my mother. He had it post dated the day they landed. It was a surprise for her. He had it signed at work. The appropriate value is what I don't know. |

Granted, it is just one data point and a not a perfect match, but the same style cover, with a typed address and signed by the crew sold for $4,375 in 2013 in a Heritage lot that also included a few paper recovery ship mementos. |
