| Below is a simplified listing of ‘Space Craft’ covers made by Joe Fitzpatrick and Carl Swanson of West Virginia, USA.
I’ve tried to follow the SCC numbering guide from the excellent ‘Space Craft Covers Monograph & Catalog’ (2nd Edition 98-90231) by Charles J Vukotich Jnr. Special thanks to my friend Eddie Bizub of Liberty Bell 7 Space Covers for helping me understand these covers. Some other items relating to Space Craft covers (i.e. Space Craft Explorer magazines; Space Craft Astronaut Series; etc) are shown here. |
