I have been keeping an eye on eBay [in 2009] in the hopes of picking up one of the STS-68 flown U.S. Express Mail stamps, but I haven't seen one. I was under the impression that 500,000 were out there so I'm surprised I haven't been able to find one.

Are these more difficult to find than the STS-8 cover (which I see all time time)?

New to my collection: The famous "Tribute to Space Exploration" cover with its flown 9.95$ stamp flown on the STS-68.

I know it's just a stamp and it is not rare but to know that it was in space aboard the space shuttle Endeavour makes it very special for me.

I was quite impressed as well by the overall quality of the cover. Nice printing, good colors, and a lot of informations in the certificate of authenticity.

Most of the flown items are way too expensive for me so I am happy we can find cheap items like that. So far I have this stamp and the STS-8 cover, not sure I will have much more in this part of my space collection.
