Not universally known to collectors is the fact that a few astronauts, in addition to leaving the full crew signed insurance covers with their families, also left some single signed insurance covers as well.

For the Apollo 16 mission, John Young left a small stash of Apollo 16 covers of a different design then the crew signed covers, in his safe deposit.

Any insurance cover collector would want one of these in order to complete a collection. The fact that these are signed by Capt. Young with his classic vintage beautiful signature just before leaving for the moon, makes them a true great rarity and highly desirable.

There are just a few of these historic covers and each is also certified on the reverse of the cover as an insurance cover by Capt. Young. These are among the last few artifacts available directly from his personal collection.

Serious inquiries please contact assetalt@aol.com for images and to reserve. $745 plus $15 shipping/handling.

In answer to many inquiries, these single signed covers are "launch date" canceled and were canceled in Houston, where the crew signed Insurance covers were canceled at KSC in Florida.

Also, these single signed covers carry the Stamp Club cache, where the crew signed covers carry the Bishop cache.

All times are CT (US)
