A Trove of Space-Themed Commemorative Covers from the 1970s

I recently received a collection of commemorative covers almost all dealing with space-related topics from the 1970s such as Apollo-Soyuz, Pioneer 10, and many satellite launches. I also touch on the Space City Cover Society which produced some of these covers.

Wow, a lot of construction work over there in Madeira ! And a pretty neat assortment of 1970s commemorative covers from the U.S. and UK as well. Keep it up, and see you on the next one. Greets from GER, U.

Hi Uwe. Yes, construction cranes are a common sight here. I just hope they don’t overbuild.

I'm jealous! what a view and a great collection of covers.

Nice start to the video. The ocean is the most beautiful blue! Idyllic! I googled both Canico and Funchal - both beautiful and along the coast. You are going to enjoy it so much to live there, Ted. So many covers! Interesting. I liked it when the stamps on the cover were also space themed. Thanks for the video, Ted.

[@tedtalksstamps]

Thank you so much, Charnie.

Nice covers and a great view, hope you are settling in well 👍👍👍 I would love to have the Posieden launch from the USS Simmon Bulivard, my oldest brother served on him for 2 years.
Looking forward to more videos good 🍀🍀🍀

These space covers were very popular - I have gotten tons of these exact covers in box lots and passed them on to cover collectors or soaked the stamps if the covers were in poor shape. What an era compared with the crazy pace of space news today!

[@tedtalksstamps]

I'm not really a cover collector, myself, but many of these cover events that happened when I was growing up and followed avidly in TV coverage, so I'll be hanging on to them.

[@voneschenbachmusic]

@@tedtalksstamps Me too, although I was a baby during the moon landings and SkyLab era. I remember most the shuttle era, Mir and ISS building.

Nice view to start off the video from. Nice history lesson on the location.

[@tedtalksstamps]

I have some NASA Local Post covers. I will have to dig them out again and see which ones.

[@tedtalksstamps]

Sounds good. 👍

Haha...that's not Ralph Cramden...it's Churchill!!

[@tedtalksstamps]

Yeah, I guess it kind of looks like him. 😄

[@adamhuffman3354]

Hi TED from America 🇺🇸! Great 👍 episode! Yea I can’t stand that cellophane. Folks need to make certain that they are using archival materials when storing/ housing stamps!

[@tedtalksstamps]

Hi Adam Thanks a lot.

[@rogerturner1881]

[@tedtalksstamps]

Yes, indeed. Instant collection. 😄
