This listing is for several cosmonaut-signed KNIGA FDCs. I'm sure most of you here know the backstory for these. But for anyone who doesn't, these signatures were officially obtained by the Ministry of Communications of the USSR, to commemorate the release of a postage stamp for each cosmonaut after their flight. KNIGA covers were produced for almost all of the early Soviet space missions. They're one of the only ways to obtain a signature that's completely official and guaranteed genuine. This set was originally purchased from RR Auction. Steve Zarelli inspected these before the auction and verified that they were genuine KNIGA covers. Here's a list of the covers for sale, and their prices: Alexei Leonov and Pavel Belyayev (Complete Voskhod 2 Crew, First Spacewalk) - $150
