Yet another area I have building up, somewhat haphazardly though, is space themed stamps. Here are a pair of unused FDC celebrating the Apollo Soyuz; I thought I'd put this up first as I organize my others. I have some astronaut signed covers that I'll post soon too (when I get back from my trip).

Thank YOU John for sending me some of your signed covers! What a nice collection I now have! That was very generous of you.
