How many other cS members have pages from this mission? Would it ever be possible to track the whereabouts of the hundreds of pages of this (in my opinion) extremely historical document? Should there not be a database set up so that it could, at least, be possible to know their whereabouts?

I'm sure that with a bit of detective work it would actually be possible (with the cooperation of the owners/sellers) to track these pages down! To what end I do not know, but it would be interesting. (Maybe put the whole flight plan back together in 2069!? I'll be 100 yrs old! I'm sure that future generations will be amazed that we actually divided it up in the first place!)

While the balance of remaining pages has been sold, over a dozen pages remain missing or reduced to grainy thumbnail images on past auction pages.

While intact digital versions of the July 1, 1969 edition are available, these do not contain the pen and ink changes made prior to flight and the handwritten notations made in flight.

Flight copies included Section 3 pages 1 to 35, 9 pages of star charts (not in ground copies), Section 6, and 4 pages of Mission Rules and the Photography Timeline. The Mission Rules and Photographic timeline were also not in ground copies.

A low quality digital version sourced from the National Archives does have the pen and ink changes and pages sourced from elsewhere. It was the backup to the flight copy, so it did not contain the inflight notations.

A more dire situation exists with the LM Timeline Book that didn't sell last year. While the scanned archival copy (also low quality) is the flight copy at least 4 pages of the main body are missing (the last tab with the transfers) as well as the six Flight Plan pages that are at the beginning the document. (3-62 to 67 of the July 1 Flight Plan plus P&I and any inflight notations).
