Description
Complete set of Sieger stamps, 20 total, each signed in ink by one of the mission’s respective astronauts. A highlight of the set is the scarce Apollo 11 Belgium stamp, signed in ballpoint by Neil Armstrong. Other signers are: Scott Carpenter, John Glenn, Wally Schirra, Gordon Cooper, Rusty Schweickart, Alan Bean, Frank Borman, Charles Conrad, Dave Scott (signing twice), James Lovell, Jack Swigert, Donn Eisele, Ed Mitchell, Gene Cernan, Stu Roosa, Walt Cunningham, James McDivitt, Tom Stafford, and Richard Gordon. In fine condition, with some light to moderate contrast to some of the signatures. Each stamp is accompanied by a piece of paper with a description issued by Sieger, as well as the Sieger letter to the original owner. A scarce opportunity to acquire a complete of these notorious stamps…whose creation had a small part in Swigert’s removal from the astronaut program. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
