$ 66.0

Description

This lot features four consecutive, original issues of The Post-Crescent capturing the greatest technological achievement of the 20th century. The Four Key Milestones Included: July 21, 1969: Iconic "MAN ON MOON" headline featuring Armstrong and Aldrin's first steps and the "Sea of Tranquillity" report. July 22, 1969: "Heroes Leave Conquered Moon" covering the lunar liftoff and the rendezvous with the Command Module. July 24, 1969: "Astronauts Home" documenting the safe splashdown in the Pacific and the recovery by the USS Hornet. July 25, 1969: Full-page celebratory portrait issue of Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins in their flight suits. Collector Appeal: Complete Narrative: Collectors prioritize "story sets" that show the full progression of the mission from landing to homecoming. Cold War Context: Includes fascinating side-bar reports on the Soviet Union's failed "Luna" moon probe attempt during the same week. Local History: As a regional Wisconsin paper, these are rarer than the mass-produced New York Times or LA Times issues from the same date. Display Value: The July 21st and July 25th issues are specifically designed for framing. Size: Standard Broadsheet (Approximately 15" W x 22.5" H when unfolded). Condition: Minor corner bends. Otherwise, you just have the lovely vintage smell and yellowing paper.
