A recent post got me wondering about this Apollo 8 first day cover. It's signed by Bill Anders. Also includes the Anders Family "Christmas Letter." |

At last, one of my favorite vintage signatures of Bill Anders! It's authentic in every way and was pre-launch signed by the Apollo 8 crewman. That's even his hand-writing on the cover's address.I've got one of the exact same 1968 Anders Family Christmas newsletters along with several similar signed Apollo 8 postal covers that came with it. Apparently Anders addressed and signed several Apollo 8 postal covers as depicted here to friends and family members before his moon-bound voyage on Dec. 21, 1968. By the way, did anyone notice the cachet type of this Apollo 8 launch day cover? It's a Heritage Crafts printed cachet cover that the crew acquired in their astronaut quarters while at KSC before launch! Another story huh? | |
