One Small Step for Man, One Giant Stamp for Mankind: Astrophilately w/ David Ball

Sam and Chris welcome their first guest, David Ball, to talk astrophilately (stamps in space!) and the remarkable story of C-76—the stamp released to commemorate the July 1969 moon landing. We touch on why David collects, the crazy story of NASA and the Postal Service joining forces to covertly produce stamps marking extraterrestrial achievements, and as always, the general joy of modern stamp collecting.
