Now, I'm not necessarily taking credit here but I sent an email to Tom at Photobucket about the blurring of the images and the fact we are just hobbyists rather than making any money and the blurring has since been removed. Admittedly, they are still heavily overprinted with the word Photobucket but it is still an improvement!

Yes, quite bizarre that Photobucket would blur its pictures. That makes it worse than useless to everybody! So here is my latest Space issue. Plenty of extras available for anybody who would like to add some to your collection: I am always amenable to a trade! The first Moon Walk took place in 1969, which was just one year after Occussi-Ambeno gained its independence and started issuing its own stamps. This set was issued on 20th July 2019. A special overprint was issued to celebrate the actual moon landing, and that was Occussi-Ambeno's first-ever commemorative set (if you exclude the "independence" overprints.)

I see that photobucket, having restored their images, have now blurred them. They seem determined to do the wrong thing.
I acquired another set of the Dan Dare stamps very cheaply and was pleased to find that rather than being fully stuck in, they were attached using stamp hinges. So, now I have a mint set, albeit mounted mint.

I purchased these sheets a while ago but only recently discovered precisely what they were and the story is very interesting. Back in 1961 a science fiction project was begun in Germany in the form of a weekly magazine called Perry Rhodan. Effectively a chapter a week in an epic series that continues to this day more than 2,900 issues later. It is the biggest science fiction project ever.
It begins with the first moon landing, then projected to be in 1971, with US Space Force Major Perry Rhodan and his crew who discover a marooned space ship from the planet Arkon. By appropriating technology from the space ship Earth takes its place in the galaxy. After disputes only about the first 18 years of work has ever been published in English. The stamps were produced in 1972 and feature main characters from the series, Bully on the 5 soli, Gucky on the 7 soli, Atlan on the 19 soli and Perry on the 23 soli. I'll show the sheets over 4 scan.
