Hi http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=713230589

I found this on ebay. The price tells me that it is not real. It starts at a dollar. I would be very appreciative if anyone could tell me if it is real or not. I just know that most sts51L autographs start at $50 and climb to a huge price.

Thankyou
Gareth Robson

Very peculiar to say the least. Most likely an autopen with an inscription by someone else. Not something to spend a lot of money on.

One of the more pathetic items I have ever seen. The autopen portrait would have been a nice addition to someone's collection, if the personalization had not been added. I would hope even a novice collector could see thru this item.

I thought Judy Resnik autopen was "Judith." Someone please correct me if I am wrong as I have two lithos that look close to this sig on the ebay item.

Even though on the ebay item the "autograph" and the inscription look like they are with two different pens.

Sometimes autopens patterns are not yet discovered or published. Recent examples of this are previously unpublished examples of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. The best way is just to have a close look at it.

The same seller has a Sally Ride portrait. The autograph doesn't look like an autopen, and the inscription looks to have been added with another pen. I have several photos auto'd by her received directly from her... and this one doesn't even come close. Is this an older signature, or a forgery?

In my opinion, the inscription certainly isn't the same handwriting as JR and the autograph itself appears to be an Autopen.
