Description
Ex. Alan Bean
Apollo 12 Crew-Signed "Type Two" Signed and Certified Insurance
Cover, from Mission Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean's Family
Collection, with Certificate of Authenticity. A philatelic
cover with the 10¢ "First Man on the Moon" (Scott #C76) stamp
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. It has
been boldly signed in black felt tip: "C Conrad Jr",
"Dick Gordon", and "Alan L Bean". Signed on the
verso: "Insurance cover from my collection/ Alan Bean/ Apollo 12
LMP". 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.
Excellent. From the estate of Moonwalker and Artist Alan
Bean.
