I've been looking for quite a while now for a flown shuttle tile from Columbia. Haven't had much luck.

Unforunately, it looks like I might have just missed one on eBay. I'm curious if anybody saw this and if so, if you think it may be actually a flown tile.

Since it was sold, you will have to scroll down to the middle of the page to see the original listing.

Any thoughts on authenticity appreciated. Thanks!

The shuttle orbiter tile referred to here was flown, but not on Columbia. This particular one last flew on Discovery (Mission STS-31) in April 1990.
