Lot 11 Y301 — Space Shuttle — 5/21/81

This exciting space cover features four large stamps devoted to the shuttle program. Each of the stamps pictures the shuttle blasting off or in orbit. Two have the official first day of issue postmark from the Kennedy Space Center. The covers then traveled to Houston, Texas home of Mission Control, where a large bullseye cancel tied the remaining pair to the cover. The hand painted cachet shows the Challenger shuttle. A wonderful "space" Collins cover.
