1969 Art Craft "First Man on the Moon" 10 cents FDC's Prices "ROCKET" on Ebay
So I've had a small stock of these First Day Covers with the "Moon Landing Date" cachet on them for years. I have struggled to sell them here and on ebay for just £2.50.
Now it's the 50th. Anniversary week I have seen prices for these covers "rocket" (excuse the pun) on ebay to £32.00 .................... Indeed I have had sales recently of these covers myself of between £8.50 and £13.05
It's great what an anniversary will do to regenerate interest in stale old stock!

Interestingly in the last three months 9 C76 Fleetwood FDC have sold on eBay for between $0.99 and $10.00
Happy days - that's over 3 months advertising on hipstamp paid for by just one cover.
Either that or its the other way around.....
Hmmm...what did I come in here for???
In the case of HipStamp offerings both the least expensive 50 cents, and the most expensive cover $9.99, have the "a man" error but likely the sellers were not aware of the possibility of an error, or at least did not draw attention to it in the description
An interesting use of that Fleetwood Cachet (correct quote) and C76 for the anniversary of Man's First Flight 12/17/1903
Actually Severe doesn't even list an error cachet. Most likely both were printed in giant quantities and are worth about the same.
I going to get a glass of warm milk then lie down for a while.
