Armstrong's 'Don't Cash It Check' Sells For $27K

California Businessman Snaps Up Autograph In Auction

BOSTON -- As a schoolboy, American astronaut Neil Armstrong may never have imagined while practicing how to write his signature that it would ever be worth a small fortune, but it was to a California businessman who bid thousands to buy it in an online auction this week.

Jack Staub, an engineer and business owner from Newport Beach, Calif., bought a check with Armstrong's signature on it for $27,350 after an all-night bidding war, auction officials said.

Armstrong wrote the check for $10.50 to a fellow NASA worker to settle a debt on the day Armstrong took off on his famous Apollo moon flight mission 40 years ago, telling mission chief of support Harold Collins not to cash it unless Armstrong died in space.

Collins' son Noah sold the check with Armstrong's signature on it to another man in 2004 and he, in turn, sold it to New Hampshire's www.rrauction.com.
