Just because it was used in the Apollo does not mean it was ONLY used in the Apollo. It may have been used in every guidance system in every US plane in Vietnam war as far as anyone knows. Is it really a rare part? I have seen some pretty similar boards before, but maybe not this exact one.

Hi,
IMHO the Saturn/Apollo card looks genuine. It's very similar to this IBM card used in aerospace applications (note the backplane connector and the retention system). I don't know whether or not IBM computers were employed by NASA in Saturn rockets, but I guess the card came from true aerospace "stuff".
The image proposed by hugo929 is instead an IBM SLT card like the modules used in ordinary System/360 and so on. Nice card indeed.
