I'm working through a large archive of NASA and space-related paper artifacts — this binder is one of 50 to 100 in the collection. It's filled with a wide range of materials: documents, photos, negatives, press materials, internal memos, etc.Full image set for the first binder here: 1 | 2 | 3 I'd really appreciate any help spotting items of potential historical or collector significance. This material originally came from Brian G. Lunos, a former NASA contractor/photographer, and I'm assessing what may warrant extra attention or care as I move toward cataloguing and eventual liquidation. Thanks in advance for any thoughts! |

Thank you! I'm continuing to catalog and have covered a handful more. In total, there are at least 5 to 10 binders of solely FDCs/covers, some seemingly made by Dr. Max Kronstein and other names with digital relevance, though no signatures so far from what I've seen. This is another collection of cataloged items, of many total: Thank you for any and all information! |

I didn't see any Max Kronstein covers in the binders you presented. |

Thanks for sharing, and I must admit, I was glad to see some of my older pre-launch Viking cachet cover productions, two out of three, that were rather primitive at the time with rubber stamp cachets.There are a couple of the binder literature items that would really help enhance a current rocket history project of mine that I am working on. Any chance they might become available, please let me know and thanks so much. |

Ah, my apologies — it looks like the cover binder I uploaded was the wrong one. Here is one with supposed items from Dr. Max Kronstein: I really appreciate all of the information! I'll continue to upload the scans of what I get catalogued, and have a few items in particular that I've had difficulty finding reference to elsewhere. I don't suppose there is any information available on an Alibi club meeting celebrating Mike Collins? I have this program from the event, but have had trouble finding out more about it, or how Brian came into possession of this. And to add, if anyone is interested in a specific item I share, I am actively and will continue to be liquidating but do not have any pricing in mind on these items as of yet. There are a handful of items I will keep framed, mostly in relation to concept art and more generic "cool space themed" memorabilia, and some items I suspect are particularly rare, but given there are no less than 100 binders... there is a lot to go through.  |

Concentrating on the philatelic covers, Binder 6 has some nice material. |

Yes — binder 6 has some nice Soviet-era space covers and postcards, especially the special city and club postmark cancellations, and anything relating to the space dog flights. |
