I'm sure everyone here appreciates your contributions.

My contributions?There are only two real, explanatory, information-bearing contributions on this entire thread. Mine and Steve Zarelli's. I'm the guy who told you what the piece was in the first place. What the fuck more do you want to know (besides the value)? What color shirt Armstrong was wearing when he wrote it?

Kind of like there's nothing more to say about an old accusation of theft towards another board member, yet here we are.

I've never met you and know nothing about your beef. I will note that you posted more about that than my topic.

I now know what I was needing to know about my item, and perhaps more about what I need to know about some people on thus board.

Thank you Steve for your input and to others as well. Hopefully everyone can settle their differences.

You're welcome.

Mark,
Like I told you enjoy the piece and don't sweat the small stuff.

Mark,

If you want to do more research on monetary value, go to rrauction.com and click on past items, input Neil Armstrong, and you'll get a bunch of results. Some might be relevant, some not so much. As David mentioned, it's considered an ALS so look for ones with that in the title, pull them up and see what they sold for, when they sold, what their content was, condition, and then apply those factors to draw an estimate.

I don't have time to do that research for that but that's one of the many ways I'd go about it if I was looking for values.

Enjoy the research and the hunt, those are two of the most enjoyable aspects IMHO

Mike,
Excellent advice, I use that site often.

Because the signature is an uncommon style, it makes valuation pretty tough. I'd put it above a routine ALS with the standard signature, but below a NASA content letter on NASA letterhead.

I'd guess around $1,500 RETAIL give or take. Regrettably what may happen is the signature will be cut and matted with a photo.
