U.S.A. 1969 "FIRST MAN ON THE MOON - with the 'MOON LANDING JUL/20/1969' die used by the astronauts while on the surface of the moon" 10c Air Mail Commemorative, Scott #C76 ARTCRAFT FIRST DAY OF ISSUE CACHET: For auction a First Day of Issue cachet issued at Washington, D.C. on September 9, 1960 with the official USPS 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" postal cancel with an additional "MOON LANDING" postal strike that used a die that the astronauts had used while in the LEM 'EAGLE' on the moon's sur...face. The die was brought back to earth to be used on all of the C76 FDC's issued so that any one could share in the great historic event with an element of something that had actually been there and back. The Apollo 11 FDC was the most popular "SPACE" First Days ever issued. THIS COVER IS A FITTING MEMORIAL TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIVING AND DEAD WHO MADE THIS EVENT POSSIBLE! This would look handsome matted and framed with other space paraphernalia or news clippings of the era. The cachet is not addressed. See scan. I COMBINE WINNING AUCTION FOR ONE LOW S/H COST! I will bundle with other auctions based on weight & destination. BUYERS: I accept an electronic check, credit card or other form of payment via PayPal. Auction(s) shipped upon receipt of payment. (eBay policies compel me to INCREASE U.S.P.S. POSTAGE because eBay REQUIRES TRACKING ON 95% OF U.S. ORDERS, TRACKING IS A U.S.P.S. PARCEL POST SERVICE WITH A MINIMUM COST OF $3.00 WHICH WILL MAKE ME INCREASE MY U.S. SHIPPING COST. LIKEWISE I WILL HAVE TO USE A U.S.P.S. TRACKING LABEL INSTEAD OF POSTAGE STAMPS (sorry stamp collectors). At first I did what a few vendors do and I increased price to cover S/H costs but I will bundle multiple wins for a single S/H or I'll refund extra S/H paid if necessary. Once eBay was the perfect place to sell stamps, first day of issue covers, other historic postal covers, vintage postcards, obsolete currency, and other flat paper ephemera. Now U.S. buyers will pay more S/H than foreign buyers. If you have an issue with higher U.S. shipping & handling cost increases please feel free to comment to eBay.). GOOD NEWS FOR CASH BUYERS: You can instantly add cash to PayPal with a MoneyPak - no bank account or credit card required. Thanks for visiting my auctions!
