A memorial imperforate block for Apollo XIV issued by Gabon, but not mentioned in my YT catalog. So maybe just pretty paper...

My favourite space theme on stamps: the Northern (and Southern) lights. Here displayed in the Finland bloc for the 2007 International Polar Year.

Another French territorial series, issued in 1965 for the UIT centennial: I'm still missing the TAAF issue for this set, but, with a CV of nearly $300, it remains an elusive goal on my wish list...

Comoro Islands issue for the Appollo-Soyuz mission in 1975. Use of old stamp stock, as the overprinted country denomination is the "Republique Federale Islamique des Comores" over "Etat Comorien", skipping the "Republique des Comores" period:

On September 24, 1959 Hungary issued a stamp of the earlier 1959 type, overprinted in red, to commemorate the September 14th landing of Lunik 2 on the moon (Scott 1262). On September 4, 1962 Hungary issued two stamps to commemorate the first group space flights of Vostoks 3 and 4 from August 11 to 15, 1962. The 1fo stamp depicts Earth, TV screens and rockets (Scott C219) and the 2fo stamp features Adrian G. Nikolayev, Pavel R. Popovich and rockets (Scott C220). The stamps were printed in alternating horizontal rows and they also exist imperf. I was able to add these stamps to my collection thanks to a generous giveaway offered by Bombadil .
