T O P I C R E V I E WRMHI collect space shuttle launch covers and I like to prepare them myself so that I can add space related stamps to the covers. Ever since STS-26 the covers have always came back with a hand cancel with three killer bars. All the covers I sent out prior to STS-26 had a machine cancel. I would like to get my covers machine cancelled. If anyone prepares covers please let me know where to send or If I just ask for machine cancels on my covers. I have always sent to Potmaster KSC, FL.I have a relative that has someone get launch covers for him and his covers are either machine cancelled or hand cancelled with no killer bars.Bob MThe recommended address for sending covers for Space Shuttle launch-dated cancels follows: PostmasterUSPS/ATSKennedy Space Center, FL 32815-9998 Put on the outside of the envelope you send the covers in: "Philatelic Material" and also what you desire, such as: "STS-108 Launch/machine cancels."You must enclose with the covers to be canceled a larger self-addressed, stamped envelope.Your canceled covers will be returned inside the SASE, which will protect them from damage, extra cancels and bar codes.Ken HavekotteAnother source to obtain Space Shuttle crew-mission emblem cachet covers is from the NASA vendor that supplies all the Shuttle cachet envelopes -- Ken Havekotte's SpaceCoast Cover Service on Merritt Island, FL. Upcoming Shuttle cachet mission covers can be ordered direct by sending a #10 SASE for receiving up to a dozen uncancelled covers. Even postmarked (for KSC launch day) cachet covers are also available along with a postage-paid return stamped envelope. Any quantity of cachet covers, both mint (uncancelled) and postmarked for launch and even landing activities can be ordered at any time while supplies last. johnraidersI know at the NASA causeway there's a guy from the Post Office, but if you can't get there who do you contact to buy some? I figure it must be near by Post Office.Editor's note: Threads merged
