It has to be said that far too many candidates for the Hall of Shame are just badly scrawled messes containing something resembling an "N" an "A" and a poor attempt at a loop back under the signature. It makes a pleasant change when someone produces an Armstrong signature that's neat, stylish and yet quite unlike Armstrong's real autograph.

This entry from the United Arab Emirates falls into that class. Elegant, sophisticated, stylish, with a hint of the exotic. In fact, according to the eBay description, "You are looking at one of the rarest of rare item in whole ebay.!!!! Neil Amrstrong handsigned Autograph. This is your opportunity to be a part of history!!!!"

Well you can't argue with that, but sadly the most valuable part of the listing - the frame - is not included in the sale, so reluctantly I'm going to have to pass on my opportunity to be a part of history.

Rating:
B for effort (nice frame)
B for artistic merit (rather stylish)
