Description

Extremely rare 'Type 2' insurance cover for the Apollo 11 mission

Apollo 11 'Type 2' insurance Dow-Unicover cover with a cachet honoring the three crew members and the first step on the moon, canceled at Kennedy Space Center on the July 16, 1969 launch date, signed in blue felt tip, "Neil Armstrong," "Buzz Aldrin," and "M. Collins." In very fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication. These famous insurance covers, produced immediately before space missions to provide financial security for astronauts' families in case of disaster, have earned near-legendary status as the ultimate space-related philatelic item, with this elusive 'Type 2' variant considered rarer than the 'Type 1' examples.
