Presuming this is just a recent style Buzz Aldrin signature, but the award for the most optimistic price goes to this seller!! |

I’m no expert, but even if the signature was a good one that price is way out of the realm of reality.I do not think that Buzz participated in a limited commercial signing of this sort, so there is even more reason to steer clear. |

I check Buzz's twitter site every so often and it is evident he is signing a lot of stuff including this particular image. What's more his signature is deteriorating. |

Slight markup from $599. Buzz Aldrin, through Buzz Aldrin Ventures (BAV) and Buzz Aldrin's Human Spaceflight Institute (HSI), would like to join you in the effort to raise money to relieve effects brought by COVID-19, by donating the sale proceeds of 100 Autographed, Limited-Edition, Numbered, Apollo XI Crew Quarantine Prints, to the Salvation Army, to aid them in preparing and responding to community needs brought on by the novel coronavirus, across our nation. During these trying times, this historic print of the Apollo XI crew in quarantine talking with President Nixon after returning from the Moon has more significance than ever. The autographed pictures are being offered at the special price of $599 each. |

That’s a huge markup. Blatant opportunism unfortunately! It's inevitable I suppose, but sad to see his handwriting deteriorate; hopefully that's all it is and not his health.Hope everyone is safe and well!

At age 90 I think it is inevitable that we will all deteriorate and Buzz Aldrin is no exception. I would hope that he will be allowed to go through the rest of his life without the decaying years and poor autographs being how he is remembered. There is a point in time when I believe you stop signings, public appearances and preserve the legacy of 60+ years. He can always work with his non-profits and stay busy, as I by no means imply putting him out to pasture. I would like to remember Buzz as he was when he was punching a heckler in the face in 2002 the no bull LMP of Apollo 11 with 50 years of flash and flair. Buzz Aldrin is an icon and a character but we all get old and to do it gracefully is the best we can hope for. |

I agree. Like all people, Buzz will have good days and bad and this will possibly exhibit itself in his signature. A change in the signature should not lessen his achievements in any way at all. This is a simple case of ludicrous profiteering on a purchase that anyone could have made and will only result in the person paying for a listing that's going nowhere. |
