Author	Topic: Bean, Armstrong, Glenn signed covers check
WileECoyoteIT Member Posts: 67 From: Italy Registered: Jul 2016	posted 06-16-2022 01:57 PM I found these three signed covers. The first one is an Alan Bean signature from a Rome USA-URSS space conference. Second one is of Neil Armstrong but looks really bad to me. Third one is of John Glenn. Any advice would be really appreciated.

The first lunar explorer's first name letter of "N" appears to be hand-traced and is very unusual. But the remainder of the signature is autopen-based.
