Two stamp triptychs from the TAAF featuring space research rocket programs: Lots of selvedge on these stamps. Are the purple designs in the selvedge playing a similar role to the lathe work on same with the Canadian Admirals? Showing wear of the plates? Although with commemoratives, you wouldn't expect anything like that...

The full sheets for these issues contain three rows of stamps and two rows of selvedge on top and bottom. Not sure what they needed so much.

A few 60's Russian Space. 1966 Dogs in Space. Verterok (Little Wind)and Ugolyok (Little Piece of Coal) spent a record-breaking 22 days in orbit in Kosmos 110 (or Vokstok 3). Launched on March 22, 1966, they landed on March 16, 1966, setting a canine space flight unsurpassed by any other living creature until the U.S. launched Skylab 2 in June, 1974. They were both recovered successfully. 1967 from a set of 3 - Alexi Leonov Space Walking / Voskhod 1. Voskhod 1 was the first spaceflight to carry more than one person into space and the first flight without space suits. The Soviet mission was specifically planned to beat the U.S. Gemini program to this milestone. As a further propaganda coup, the spacecraft was claimed to have carried into orbit a fragment of a communard banner from the Paris Commune of 1871. 1967 - 4k Russia Space Soviet Sputnik over Kremlin & Ostankino Tower 1969 Set of 3 - Soyuz crews

One stamp from the circulation of 8,743,070 The 10ยข First Man on the Moon stamp was designed by artist Paul Calle and I believe that postage stamp was the first jumbo-size commemorative issue. The Apollo 11 FDC was the most popular ever issued with a record 8,743,070 postmarked at Washington, D.C., the official city of release.
