I am working on an AMSAT-NA fundraising project ...
I am digging up some unique space-related items and am
offering them for sale, with 100 per cent of the sale price
forwarded directly to AMSAT-NA's Fox fund.
Just so no one complains about this being a "commercial" post,
I will repeat myself: 100 per cent of the sale price will be sent to
AMSAT-NA. I will pay postage fees myself. SO ... People will get
to acquire a piece of history, AND support AMSAT-NA.
Available right now are six commemorative USPS first day covers
celebrating the Apollo/Soyuz projects and the Apollo 11 Moon landing,
as well as a 24-stamp plate block. Details at ...
