Obvious "I met Neil Armstrong" brag is obvious. i had a long taxi ride back from an airport a month or so ago and the taxi driver was a collector of signed memorabilia.. turns out that Neil Armstrong was a number of people who stopped signing autographs after they found out all the 'fanmail' being sent to them was being sold on the black market. Then their signatures went up in value enormously when they stopped, turns out the 'moon' related stuff became the most valuable among signed things even more so than famous people/ celebrities/ leaders due to their obvious rarity. random bit of learning for today, only NA fact I know, and its not even a full fact.
