I am a stamp collector and not an autograph expert. I have been a member of the American Philatelic Society since 1962. This autographed item comes from the collection of noted autograph and space memorabilia collector and author Dr. Reuben Ramkissoon. I believe it to be genuine, however if you purchase it and feel otherwise, you may return it within five days of receiving it for a refund of your purchase price including shipping and handling. I have recently sold several autographed items and not one has been returned.
