If local post stamps are used on envelopes that are to be mailed they also must bear a U.S. postage stamp in order to be delivered. Today most local posts are philatelic in nature, and can be a lot of fun if you have one. T he NASA Local Post is a philatelic one, it began in 1967 and produced local post covers until at least 1984 and is no longer in operation. I think all of its issues were space or air related. T he NASA Local Post catalog number is listed at the end of the description in paranthesis.

All covers are cacheted and a brief description is given of the event being commemorated, unless otherwise noted. If covers are autographed they are genuine.
