Description
Ex. Charles Conrad
Apollo 12 Crew-Signed "Type One" Insurance Cover Originally from
the Personal Collection of Mission Commander Charles Conrad. A
philatelic cover with the 10ยข "First Man on the Moon" (Scott #C76)
stamp vertically affixed, bearing a pictorial machine cancellation
from Kennedy Space Center dated November 14, 1969, the day that
Apollo 12 was launched. The color cachet features the mission
insignia with "Yankee Clipper" and "Intrepid" below to either side
of a set of Navy wings (it was an all-Navy crew). It has been
boldly signed in black felt tip: "Charles Conrad", "Dick
Gordon", and "Alan L Bean". The stamp hides a small
portion of the Gordon signature as typical. Starting with Apollo
11, the astronaut crews would all sign a certain quantity of these
covers to be left on Earth as a contingency against their failing
to return safely from the moon. In the case of a tragedy, the
covers would be sold with the proceeds benefiting their families,
not unlike an insurance policy. An informative Certificate of
Authenticity is included. Excellent.
