It's a long shot - but I'm looking for an IBM 5110 Display card.
I understand it'll be rare to come across any loose cards for this system. They'll typically be in a paired set to match with other cards of that same system.
I have a spare 5110 with no cards, which I've built a PSU for. I can use it to test any loose cards (for the 5110) - for example, I've taken all the cards from my working 5110, and swapped them into this "bench tester" and everything fires up and functions as expected. So for that reason, I'd be interested in any loose cards for the 5110, to try them out -- storage and shipping of single cards is much easier than the full system.
But presently, just the Display card itself is what I'm primarily interested in (well, and a tape control card, but that's another matter altogether) -- perhaps there was a 5110 damaged in other ways, yet its Display card might still work?
(I'm not looking for the CRT Display, but rather the internal Display card used to drive the symbols that appear on the CRT)
Here is what that Display card for the IBM 5110 looks like, as a reference:
