Author	Topic: Apollo 15 flown pencil graphite 'x' cards
moonsuit steve Member Posts: 51 From: U.K Registered: Jun 2001	posted 08-09-2001 06:36 AM I've noticed on eBay there are a few small Apollo 15 cards with a graphite 'x' on them made from a pencil that Jim Irwin took to the moon on 15. Does anyone know anything more about these oddities and are they worth getting hold of? I'm sure I heard they were originally given out through High Flight, Jim's church organisation.

He's the same person who created the plaques with the pellets that were manufactured aboard the shuttle.
