T O P I C R E V I E WMatt THi,I recently bought a mixed lot of items that includes a small selection of covers, all dating from the late 60s and early 70s. The covers come from the estate of a former NASA employee who was himself a keen collector.I've no idea what they're worth and hoped someone could give me even a very rough ballpark figure. They're all in very good condition with picture cachets and no address.Two are cancelled in Cape Canaveral, various dates 74/75, commemorating launch of the ATS-6 Comsat for ASTP, and ASTP itself.Two are cancelled in Moscow, both 1975, commemorating Soyuz 18-I and Soyuz 18.One is cancelled in Adelaide, 10th Feb 1975 and commemorates the landing of Soyuz 17.Four are cancelled in Woomera, various dates 69/70, commemorating 200th Skylark, the UK's own booster the Black Arrow, Europa 1, and the Aero High grenade launching booster!Four are cancelled in Madrid, various dates 72/73, commemorating various aspects of the Deep Space Network.One is cancelled in Budapest, Nov 6th 1967 for the Venusz 4 probe.Any ideas?Cheers,Matt------------------ www.spaceracemuseum.comeurospaceMatt,I hope I don't bust any bubble, but the value of these is in the eyes of the beholder .... in other words: in the $1 or $2 area, depending on how hard you want it. I hope at least they look nice ...Jürgen------------------Jürgen P EsdersBerlin, Germanyhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/AstroaddiesMatt THi Jurgen,No bubble busting possible These were just extras in a group of space suit related documents.Thanks for the valuation... oh and yes, they do look lovely Cheers,Matt------------------ www.spaceracemuseum.comRMHMatt:I agree with Jurgen that there probably is not much "worth" in these types of covers. There just isn't a lot of interest in them. They are nice to have in a collection if it fits topically with other covers you have or if the cachets are unique or you find them to be visually appealing.
