Hey, before any of you get your blood-pressure up (like I did) seeing the Gemini-MOL USS LaSalle cover, lot 735 in Superior - take a close look at the cancellation date. It is postmarked on the LaSalle on Nov. 16, 1966, thirteen days after the recovery. Maybe the return-to-port date? Anyone know? But certainly not postmarked on the recovery date, Nov. 3.

Yeah, I know. Picked up the same cover on eBay ($33) before I knew what I was doing. Do the Mike Adams autographs (Lot 1073) look good?

Yeah they look ok to me from the small pix in the catalog. For this kind of investment though, it would be advisable to have Superior shoot you some full size scans to look at beforehand.
