    Hi Rob,
    My friends & I are delighted with the signed covers!
    We think you vastly underpriced the Steve Fossett signed cover.
    We did research (looked at what Steve Fossett signed items sells at auctions, eBay, etc...).
    We found anything signed by Steve Fossett retails/sells at over 5.00 USD at the low end.
    It is over 0.00 USD at the high end for a cover he flew on his solo around the world flight which he also signed.
    We think it could reach 0.00+ USD if people knew what he did or someone makes a movie on him.
    We concluded that he is at this price range because of his significance & contribution to aviation history like Charles Lindbergh.
    Also, he died at 63.
    We deem his signature has "UNCOMMON" since he didn't signed that much material compared to say Neil Armstrong.
    Best, Joe
