MA-6, 1962, John Glenn Autograph, on an unusual 6x4" white card that says: "Dearest Debby - Hold on to this stamp. It is (in) commemoration of one of the greatest events in American history, and by its greatest son". A 4c Project Mercury stamp is mounted below the statement and along with flight information. The card is signed at the bottom by "John Glenn" and "Daddy Jack". This flight was big doings for the time and the stamps were secretly held by 300 Post Offices around the country for release only after splashdown (had the flight not been successful, the stamps were to be destroyed). We have no idea who "Daddy Jack" was, but he obviously knew John Glenn at the time and appreciated the historic nature of Glenn's flight. A great classic addition to any collection.
Estimated Value $150 - 250
