Now your name can become a piece of U.S. space program history.You can have your name, or another name, printed on a collectible card utilizing lead graphite that was carried on the Moon by astronaut Jim Irwin during Apollo 15. The card is multi-colored and is approximately 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. The card will be laminated to protect the integrity of the lead graphite. The printing is limited to 20 characters (letters, numbers) per card. More characters will cost additional money. During the month of December, I am offering this unique collectible to collectSPACE members for only $35 each ppd. Insurance is extra if you request it. Remember, this lead graphite was on the Moon. For a scan and more information, send me an e-mail. |

Would these graphite laminated cards be the same as can be bought off of eBay for $6? I've seen these being sold for as cheap as $1.What is the difference between the ones you're selling and those on eBay? |

I am the originator of the "X" card that you can buy on eBay. The card I'm currently offering doesn't have an "X" attached to it, but it has your name printed on it using the lead graphite that was carried on the surface of the Moon. |

I own an Apollo 15 Graphite "X" as part of my collection.It fits in rather nicely with the rest of the lunar surface artifacts. |

I have given the 'X's as gifts as well, to both kids and adults, and find that they are well received and appreciated.They are a nice, inexpensive way to generate an interest in history, space speciifcally, in students or adults that grew up in that era. |

I'll chime in and say that I have purchased some of these and found them very well done and certainly the least expensive way to obtain lunar surface material, albeit a small amount. For the price I think they're pretty neat. |

I have a few of the Apollo 15 X cards. I didn't know if there was a difference between the ones being offered on eBay in the $1-5 range and your cards. |
