I am interested to clarify the situation with regard to signing a book and completion fees. It never occured to me that that would be seen as a completion of missions but I notice that phil252001UK mentions that he was charged when getting his book signed last year. I was actually going to purchase a book on the Apollo missions this weekend to take along to Autographica but if there is a conpletion charges issue I may have to rethink it! Sorry, just one small correction. I was asked to pay £170 + £100 at Stafford's last Autographica, but I literally couldn't afford to so went away very unhappy. Phil

Hi Dave , The amount of the completion fee will literally decide whether I attend the show or not. I have a book with 15 Apollo autographs on it which has taken me many years to collect. Last time I was asked to pay an ADDITIONAL £100 - on top of the £170 - just because Gene Cernan's signature happened to be one of those on the book. I have attended every Autographica so far but I feel that is unfair that I am being penalised for having my collection. Also, I don't really regard having Tom Stafford's signature added to the other 15 to be a completion. It will be difficult for anyone with multi-signed items to add this signature without completing one of Stafford's crews.
