So those stamps obviously wouldn't work with KSC.ĥ0th Anniversary Apollo 11 First Moon Walk Stationįor all the pictorial postmarks requested in this thread, or any others, keep in mind that the two Apollo 11 stamps to be issued July 19 can only be used on postmark cancels dated on or AFTER July 19.įor this situation, I'm going to use these really nice JFK stamps I purchased today. Yes, it appears the cancel date for Alameda/USS Hornet is the 20th, not the 24th splashdown date, which is a bit odd. Note: For all the pictorial postmarks requested in this thread, or any others, keep in mind that the two Apollo 11 stamps to be issued July 19 can only be used on postmark cancels dated on or AFTER July 19, not for any "old" pictorial cancel requests, because the two stamps were not on sale before July 19.

I will hold off.Īnd since nothing was mentioned about my plan, I must be on the right track. Thanks for the info on the possible address change Robert. Ken, thanks for the offer, but with the new stamps not coming out until the 19th, I wouldn't be able to get my postcards to you in time. There will be confirmation in an upcoming issue of the USPS Postal Bulletin (either coming the first or third week of July), so probably best to wait preparing envelopes until then. I am told that the addresses for one or more of those three postmarks may be changing. I'll send to the addresses listed in Robert's post. Official FDI cancel requests as well along with some unofficial FDI cancels here on the Florida Space Coast. If you want, I can personally take care of all your KSC cancel needs on July 19/20, and also anything else for the 16th launch anniversary here at KSC, the Cape, Merritt Island, and Titusville. Shouldn't that be July 24, 2019?)Īgain, just running this by to make sure I do this correctly. (I did notice that Alameda's postmark date shows July 20, 2019. But that should be okay because I'll have 30 days after the date on the special postmark for each, correct? Now the new stamps aren't available until the 19th. Then the postcard and the SASE will need to be in a bigger envelope that I'll send to the addresses listed in Robert's post for KSC, Houston and Alameda. Just the stamp and postmark.īecause of no address on the postcard, I'll need to send the postcard with just the new stamp in a SASE. One launch postcard will go to KSC for it's postmark, one moon landing postcard will go to Houston and one recovery will go to Alameda. Just so I'm reading this correctly.my ultimate goal is to have three Apollo 11 postcards with the new 50th anniversary stamp affixed to it and the postmarks from KSC, Houston and Alameda.
