Last year I sold all my A Kodak paper prints and I am moving on to these posters. They hung at my office for a long time and when the office got renovated I bought these four. They have been in my closet since with all my other NASA items.

I find nothing on the web about these and perhaps someone in this group can give me a clue on who issued them and relative scarcity or abundance. Thank you in advance!

These were some of my favorite early Apollo posters. The 16"x20" color glossy-type posters were issued in 1968-69 for the Apollo 7 through Apollo 11 spaceflight missions.

They were a product of General Color Corp. based in Cocoa, FL, and were common here on the Florida Space Coast during those early Apollo missions. They were commercially available at the time as well.

My favorite of them all was Apollo 7 depicting a big-bold Saturn 1B launch vehicle (AS-205) on the pad with crew faces and mission patch.

Interesting... and since our office was in Cocoa and then Merritt Island that explains a lot and also why there is little on the web since this was regional. Were all the Apollo flights put to poster by this company?

All times are CT (US)
