T O P I C R E V I E WmicropoozThere is an article in the latest Universal Ship Cancellation Society (USCS) Log about a new website on Beck covers. Morris Beck produced high quality cachets from the 1940's into the '70's, and most notably for us, a bunch of cachets for the recovery ships in Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. Beck made the rubber stamps used for the "Navy Cachet" recovery ship covers, then made a more refined, printed version of the artwork for his covers. This excellent site is put together by Owen Murray, a USCS and Space Unit member. It lists some different information than the Winick monograph on Beck Cachets including photos, listings of unnumbered Becks, and more. Mr. Murray is also keeping this a living site, so if you have new info you can submit it to him to put on the website. Apollo-SoyuzEverybody who collects Morris Beck covers now has a website with much information about Morris Beck and the covers he produced. The Space Unit has for sale two CDs titled: Suspect Cover Handbook and Apollo cover catalog. The Suspect Cover CD is a compilation of any and all information on suspect and fake space covers. Included is an account of the Charles Riser affair. The Apollo CD is a compilation of covers serviced for the Apollo moon missions. Both CD's are a must for the space collector. The CD's are $15 each plus postage.DOX32What a fantastic website on Beck cancels! The link to USCS is also very useful!
