Autographed by Komarov, Feoktistov and Yegorov; following their epic feat of orbiting three cosmonauts at once (in 1964), Komarov would fly the first Soyuz series spacecraft as well; tragically, he was killed when the parachute system fouled on his return to Earth; with this being the only flight for his comrades, the crew signed postcard is scarce; flaking on the edges and smudges to the signatures.

U.S.S.R., 1979 (Apr 10), Soyuz 33 too busy to service in flight. Crew: N. Rukavishnikov, G. Ivanov (Bulgaria). Failed to dock with Salyut 6. The envelope is impressive; the two stamps are tied to the entire with both orbital (Salyut-6) and ground postmarks; impressively, there are cancel for Baikonur (the launch complex), Turatam (the railroad station), and Leninsk (the nearest city); the cover is autographed by Rukavishnikov and Ivanov (Soyuz 33); because of a breakdown of the moving mechanism of Soyuz 33, the docking with the station was cancelled; the situation was tense and there was no time to play postmaster in orbit; once on the ground, postmarks were applied; the fact that orbital dates match a ground date confirms the fact that it did not get cancelled in orbit; while it is possible the envelope accompanied the crew and was later serviced on the ground, it is also possible that it is one of dozens that never flew; a 1 mm elevation in part of the Salyut-6 mark makes the carrying question inconclusive; sold as unflown; nevertheless, a great addition to a Soviet collection.
