After more than 45 years as an active collector, it's time to sell a few astronaut autographed covers that should be of more interest and use to other collectors than me.For sale is a set of crew signed covers for the fifteen Apollo manned flights, which includes all flights from Apollo 7 thru ASTP. The only non complete crew signed cover is for Apollo 11, but is represented by an Apollo 11 recovery ship cover signed by Buzz Aldrin, where he added "Apollo 11".
The very large majority of the astronaut autographs on these 15 covers resulted from my own mail-in requests to the various astronauts, including many multi-mailings needed to complete these crew signed covers.
These fifteen crew signed flight covers are autographed by all but two (Armstrong and Collins) of the 36 Apollo Program flown astronauts; all but two (Armstrong and Collins) of the 24 Apollo lunar astronauts; and all but Armstrong of the twelve moonwalkers.
Inquiries are welcome and scans of the set are available to serious collectors. These 15 covers are offered only as a complete set and no individual covers from the set will be sold. All covers are in good condition, with no issues.
The four covers shown below are a good representation of the set, with various cachets, such as official NASA/KSC cachets, "Orbit", PRS, crew insignia, etc. At this time only this 15 cover Apollo set will be available, but possibly later an almost complete set of crew signed covers for the first 47 Space Shuttle flights, minus 51L, may be offered.
