Special sale of satellite/spacecraft launch covers and satellite/spacecraft special event covers. All are multicolored SPACE VOYAGE printed cachets.

THIS IS A REVISED AND UPDATED LISTING WITH THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:

All covers are now listed in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER (Earliest dated cover first, latest dated cover last).
The ITEM ID column is NOW the date of the cover, in this sequence: Year-Month-Day.
...............thus 19750408 is year 1975, 04th month, 08th day.
A suffix letter may be added to some LIST ID numbers to differentiate between different events, cancels, etc.
All covers are the standard U.S. size (number 6) unless otherwise noted.
All covers are unaddressed unless otherwise noted.
All covers are cacheted and a brief description is given of the event being commemorated. The multicolored SPACE VOYAGE cachet shows the satellite or spacecraft with appropriate detailed text
Since many collectors collect certain events depending of the rocket launch vehicle, I am now adding that information if it is noted on the cachet, by adding it at the end of the description in this form: (Atlas), (Titan 3b) etc. etc.
Where stamp(s) used on the cover are significant such as being related to the event or location, they will be described. Otherwise the stamp(s) used on the cover may be a flag stamp, a space stamp , a definitive or an unrelated issue.
If covers are autographed they are genuine.
When ordering, it is IMPORTANT that you order by LIST ID as well as ITEM ID. Please use the ORDER FORM.
