I just looked on the Space Unit website and found there were 500 covers printed with the above cachet. Cachet was designed by long time space collector, Sean Marsar and he had Beck print them.

Boy, I sure don't think I knew my friend Sean designed that. I also don't think that "500" number can be accurate. I had a boatload of them at one time.

As with most space covers, I wished I had know about BECK cachets long before I did. Which is really stupid, because he did a series of covers in 1968 for the fifth anniversary of the assassination that was absolutely spectacular and had nothing to do with space.

Thanks for the memories.
