Desirable Apollo 16 insurance cover with a cachet of the mission insignia, bearing an April 16, 1972 launch date postmark at Houston, Texas, signed in black felt tip by John Young. Also stamped on the reverse, "Original Apollo 16 Insurance Cover, Pre-launch signed on obverse from my personal collection," signed below in black ink by Young. In very fine condition. These differ from the crew-signed insurance covers in that they were signed only by Young, carry the Stamp Club cachet (versus the Bishop cachet), and were canceled at Houston, rather than KSC.
