The listing, 8 MINT Space Stamps $4.45 Value has ended.
Nice collection of space stamps from the USA.
All stamps are MNH (Mint Never Hinged) with original gum on the backside. Will mail the next day after receiving winners address via Listia's shipping feature.
Stamp values taken from mysticstamp.com.
You can enter the SC# (Scott Catalog #) into the search box for full description and price.
I have taken photos of backsides to the stamps I found interesting because of some imprints. Very nice!
You can see the outline of the Skylab stamp on the back and I took a close up view of the front so you can see that this stamp is sort of textured, not a totally smooth stamp like a lot of the others. There are a few others you can see have a nice backside with stamped imprints.
The Project Mercury stamp is the only one that I would consider slightly flawed. The backside has all the original shiny sticky gum but if you hold it in the light, you can see a difference (see last photo). I don't know if it lessens the value the stamp but wanted to bring it to the attention of all bidders.
The 2 Apollo stamps are huge, I put a stamp beside it so you can see how big it is.
