DESCRIPTION
Remarkable Apollo 11 type 3 insurance cover with a color cachet of the mission insignia and a July 16, 1969, Kennedy Space Center launch date postmark, signed in blue felt tip pen, "Neil Armstrong, "Buzz Aldrin," and "Michael Collins." The signatures on the cover are very clean and orderly which is not always seen with insurance covers., making this a very rare example.
Insurance covers were made famous by the fact that no company would insure the Apollo 11 crew for their flight to the moon as the risk was simply too great. So, to provide financial security to their families in the event of a disaster during the mission, the insurance covers were created and signed by the crew—making them one of the rarest and most highly sought-after philatelic items in the world.
