Collector's Note

Space-themed stamps, particularly those related to Apollo 11, have a very broad "crossover" appeal. They are popular not just with stamp collectors, but also with space enthusiasts. While they aren't "rare" in a financial sense, they are considered very attractive modern pieces due to the high-quality offset lithography and the popularity of the subject matter.
