Astronaut Autographs

Buzz Aldrin Signing October, 2004

Buzz Aldrin is our best-selling autograph. As the only signing moonwalker of the Apollo 11 crew, the first moonlanding, he is deluged with autograph requests, and raised his signing fee to $250 for a plain autograph, in order to stem the tide somewhat. NOVASPACE has negotiated a much lower fee schedule for a private signing of mailed-in memorabilia.

It's easy! And you'll save money. Simply decide what and how you want your item signed, fill in the order blank and send it to us by the deadline, and we'll promptly return your goods with a fresh, authentic signature and a Certificate of Authenticity.

This is not a public event, mailed-in memorabilia only.

Satisfaction

We have only had a couple of complaints with our custom signing service, out of hundreds of satisifed customers. We cannot guarantee your satisfaction with placement, as we are not in complete control here, but we do our utmost to get it right. Remember, items sent directly to some astronauts can get lost, damaged, smeared, or otherwise messed up, and you must accept some risk.

5 Item Maximum

There is a five item limit, unless other arrangements are made. This signing is meant for collectors. No duplicate items.

Shipping

USA return shipping is included with the price for flat items up to one pound. Boxed items or books must get a quote, include prepaid waybill or include credit card number on the order form.

Right of Refusal

Col. Aldrin reserves the right to refuse to sign your piece. We will make sure you get a refund or aren't charged should this occur. We are clearing unusual or controversial requests through Mr. Aldrin ahead of time, so we minimize last-minute refusals.

Third Party Authentication

None of the astronauts we have had so far will sign flown items from a third party. This implies endorsement and authentication. Unless it's from the astronaut's own PPK, they are reluctant to sign.

Post-it Notes

We encourage the use of post-it notes to mark locations, ink color, orientation and special instructions in addition to the information you include on the order form. Post-it notes work great on most items, but stick permanently to inkjet prints, so be careful.

CVV number

If you pay by credit card, our bank now requires correct billing zip code, and the CVV number. The CVV (Credit Verification Value) number is the last three digit number from the back of your card, usually in the signing box.

Photos

We can provide unsigned copies of our photos, $13 for an 8x10, $50 for 16x20. These are printed on Fuji Crytal Archive paper, the best for longevity and quality. See HERE for available photos. You might also take a look at our POSTERS and have Col. Aldrin sign one of the moon, Apollo, or other. Just identyify the photo or poster you want signed on the order form, and add it in.

Pens

You can send your own pens, but we do this a lot, so we have every kind of sharpie, fine point, regular on hand, as well as metallic pens in broad or fine point gold or silver. If there's a pen you need to specifically match, send it along.

See HERE for examples.

Deadline

Saturday, October 17 is the drop-dead deadline. We will start accepting shipments immediately. If you have an unusual item that needs Mr. Aldrin's approval, we strongly suggest letting us know early.
