Could someone give me their opinion of the autographs on this ASTP crew signed card?

As an exhibitor of ASTP, litho looks good to me. The only concern I had was with the Slayton but it does not match any known autopen pattern that I can see.

Indeed, strange... Slayton is an autopen.

Dirk, can you share your reasoning? As John said, the signature style does not appear to match the known autopen patterns.

The Slayton may not match known patterns, but it sure has an Autopen "look and feel." It has stop dots at the end of the D, A and N. Plus, this is not the signature style you'd expect to see from the ASTP era.

It seems too far off to be a distorted version of a known pattern, but It **may** be an unknown pattern. I'd really like to have it in hand for an exam.
