UPDATE: This lot is one of 16 in the current auction that comprise a complete suite of a medal, a patch, and a cover for each of John Young’s six space missions. Because select pieces within this collection are very rare, it took over seven years of determination and dedication to complete the project. The other 15 lots associated with this special collection are listed here.
Postal cover postmarked at the Astronaut Trail Station on December 8, 1984, a year after the landing date of the STS-9 (Spacelab 1) mission, signed in ink and felt tip by the full crew-John Young, Brewster Shaw, Owen K. Garriott, Robert Parker, Ulf Merbold, and Byron Lichtenberg. In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication.
