Saw this one beforehand and I don't like it. Many of the signatures may "appear" genuine, however, the Glenn, Grissom, Shepard and Slayton in my opinion are not authentic, along with the other three.

It's not a bad forger attempt, I would admit, but the signature characteristics of all seven are off, with some more so than others. But all have a larger — in same type of hand — format length than authentic autographs of the Project Mercury astronauts are known to be in their vintage Mercury era of the early 1960's.

Thanks Ken. Your expertise is very much appreciated. I didn’t know why, but I wasn’t sure about it. Didn’t think they were autopen and almost thought it looked printed, but the image resolution is poor.

Thank you for your feedback.
