Signed first day cover honoring Apollo IX, postmarked Mar. 13, 1969, signed by Lunar Module Pilot Russell "Rusty" Schweickart and Commander Jim McDivitt. After launching on March 3, 1969, the crewmen spent ten days in low Earth orbit. They performed the first manned flight of a LM, the first docking and extraction of a LM, two spacewalks, and the second docking of two manned spacecraft. The mission proved the LM worthy of manned spaceflight. Further tests on the Apollo 10 mission would prepare the LM for its ultimate goal, landing on the moon. Fine

Estimate: $100 - 200.
