APOLLO 16 LUNAR SURFACE ABORT CARD

This 'Data Entry & Display Assembly' cue card was attached to the lunar module's intrument panel during its descent to the lunar surface. The card measures 4.75 inches by 3.25 inches and contained the vital abort codes for the computer should an emergency have occurred. What makes this item even more special is that it is covered with (astronaut certified!) lunar dust. Since returning to earth it has been in the possession of Charlie Duke until I was fortunate enough to acquire it.
