A NASA Manned Spacecraft Center Stamp Club Official Commemorative Cover of the First Manned Lunar Exploration" hand signed by Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. Collins has hand written above the cachet: "Carried aboard Apollo 11 to the Moon" and numbered it "C-50" in the image of earth in the cachet.
This cover flew to the moon on one of mankind's greatest adventures, the first manned lunar landing mission. Affixed to the cover is an 8¢ "Apollo 8" stamp with an August 11, 1969, cancellation at Webster, Texas. Stamped beneath the cancellation is the text: "Delayed In Quarantine At/ Lunar Receiving Laboratory/ M.S.C. - Houston, Texas". Apollo 11 splashed down on earth on July 24 at which point, the equipment, and astronauts from the spacecraft were quarantined.
