Found this listing on eBay for an Apollo 12 flown star mounted on a card.
Have seen several in auctions over the past few years. Any idea on how many of these were made?

It's a cool item and when you think about it how many flown to the moon items are out there for such an inexpensive price. I have seen a blue and a yellow version of the card.
In answer to your specific question: I did exchange a few messages with Alan Bean about the cards and his answer was that he didn't know and that I should ask Richard Gordon. In the end I never pursued it any further.

I have never been able to find the full story behind these. I assume they were flown to lunar orbit rather than the surface, but have not found anything that clearly says one way or the other.
