I recently purchased a book with pages reflecting Orbit covers from the Gemini Program. The pages picture a cover for each flight where you can place your Orbit covers. Are there similar pages for the Mercury, Apollo, and Skylab missions?

If so, does anyone have information where I can obtain these album pages?

If your Orbit covers from Gemini are hand cancelled and the "C" in "Cape" has a wedge void in it while the "9" in the Zip Code has a filled in ink where the top of the 9 should be open, those are fake cancels and it would be best not to waste money on getting more like them. The Machine Cancels are fine. I've not seen the types of pages of which your are writing.

I also have the Gemini pages. I've never seen similar pages for the Mercury and Apollo covers produced by Orbit Covers.
