Just got this Apollo 10 FDC signed by John Young. Wanted to get some opinions on it. Also has anyone seen these extra items? They were inside the envelope when I got it.

I purchased a lot from Regency Superior and the Apollo 8 cover came with many extras — the fact sheet looked a lot like the one you have. Not sure its significance...

The card showing the capsule's landing stabilization sequence was the standard insert for the Apollo 10 launch Spacecraft Cachet (like yours). The insert gave the envelope rigidity when it went through the mail. The artist who made the Spacecraft Cachets, Carl Swanson, always put some informative fact about the mission on his inserts.

Don't know about the note you found in there. Not a normal part of a Spacecraft Cachet...

The folded sheet came with the cover as well. Space Craft Covers produced the sheets with covers from roughly 1967 to 1969.

All times are CT (US)
