Soviet commemorative postcard honoring Yuri Gagarin and the 15th anniversary of the first human spaceflight, boldly autographed by four Soviet cosmonauts: Alexei Leonov, Alexei Gubarev, Vasily Lazarev, and Georgy Grechko. The colorful postcard features a portrait of Gagarin, a commemorative stamp and cancellation, with the four signatures in blue, black, and purple ink across the front.

Fine condition.

Alexei Leonov (1934-2019) became the first person to perform a spacewalk during the Voskhod 2 mission in 1965 and later commanded the Soviet crew of the historic Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. Alexei Gubarev (1931-2015) flew aboard Soyuz 17 and Soyuz 28, logging more than 60 days in space. Vasily Lazarev (1928-1990) commanded Soyuz 12 and survived the dramatic Soyuz 18a launch abort in 1975. Georgy Grechko (1931-2017) flew three Soyuz missions, spending more than 134 days in space and helping conduct pioneering long-duration space station operations aboard Salyut 6.
