Aldrin signs and inscribes in black ink “To Martha & George Rickard, With Best Wishes, Buzz Aldrin” (in very good condition, with paperclip impression to upper left corner and scattered overall creasing, heaviest at lower edge). Collins signs and inscribes in black felt tip “Best Wishes to Mrs. George L. Rickard, from Mike Collins” (in fine condition, with a couple of trivial surface creases and tiny spot of surface loss to bottom edge).
