Casino Royale Poker Plaque (with Corgi Cars)

greggunray

Hi Guys,
Did anyone get the 2-car boxed Corgi set that contained the Casino Royale poker plaque in it? I've been trying desperately to get a decent photo of one, so if anyone has one and can help me out, I'd be eternally grateful!
Thanks!

Thanks! That's certainly a pretty good close up! If anyone has one and can get the details from an even closer distance, that'd be great!

Asp9mm

I have a blue and red production plaques that I can take pics of if you are interested, the detail is absolutely outstanding.

greggunray

Really? Wow, that'd be great, thanks - as much detail as the camera can get is perfect! My email's

Thanks! How did you get hold of them, out of interest? (If you don't mind me asking!)

Asp9mm

I will get them done for you in hi res for Sunday evening. I got them from a member of the first unit whoes name will be forever guarded

greggunray

Anonymity understood! Very much obliged to you, I'll look for them on Sunday then!

I realize this thread is really about the chit but I wanted to note that many dealers/websites are showing that same, awful pre-production mock-up photo supplied them by Corgi; the actual piece--from the case, to the interior, to the cars themselves--is far superior.

As for the chit, here's a scan (click on the image for a larger view):



Although this was what the original poster first requested, it looks as though he's since clarified that he's really after an actual prop; just as well, since the Corgi chit is radically different.

greggunray

Thanks for the post - I don't have a close-up of the Blue one yet; that's a nice start. I know it's not the production one, but with a couple of edits (I have the red one for reference) it would be right.
I'm not necessarily after a real prop: I'm looking to have some plaques comissioned, but I can't do that without some really detailed shots.
Thanks!

Asp9mm

Hang on in there, I will get the blue one to you soon, in the meantime...





They are extremely well made, with the lettering actually inside the casting so it cannot scratch off, there are several layers all pearlized and when held up to the light show a watermark effect. Must have cost a fortune to produce them.

Hi there
I am also interested in these plaques. I have heard different accounts of their sizes. Can you please tell me what are the exact dimensions of the red and blue plaques? Also what is that little symbol on the lower right corner near the gold scrollwork. Many thanks. Iwill be posting photos of my Bond props soon.

Asp9mm

Will get the blue $1,000,000 plaque up on Thursday. The symbol by the lower righthand scroll is a B and G, and the dimensions are 105mm by 75mm. I would say that there are at least five different layers or ply to the plaques.

qbvi

Hi Asp9mm
Thanks for the info. Those plaques are sure things to lust for. Looking forward to the blue plaque pics. Could you also provide the blue plaque dimensions in millimeters? With that BG symbol, does the B and G overlap slightly?
Thanks, qbvi

Asp9mm

The blue plaques are slightly larger. The BG does not overlap, but they do touch with nothing showing between the print.

IanT007

Do we know whether cartamundi have any plans to release these?

Asp9mm

They are not going to release the plaques, they were made for the film only - 150 red ones and 100 blue ones.

greggunray

Quite right - infact, if you ask Cartamundi, they'll tell you they were quite keen to consider producing them, but that the studio forbade them from making them for the commercial market and that, instead, all the ones made (bar a few that snuck out!) would be housed in the prop store.

IanT007

Well, that's spoilt my poker night plans for this weekend then!

But seriously, it would have been fantastic if they had released them wouldn't it?

Asp9mm

Here are piccies of both plaques together. I didn't realize until I was taking these pics that there is a difference in size between the two...... DOH!

mrbig

asp, thanks for your response to my thread earlier, is it possible for you to provide pics with the dimensions of the plaques so i may see if it is possible for me to repro for my CR display?

thanks

Hi ASP

Thanks for the pics and rplying to my earlier threads. Can you describe the coloured layers of the blue and red plaques, or better still provide pics of the sides.
Thanks, your collection is impressive.

Heres a screen cap from the movie:

found it in an ebay auction for the poker chips


Sorry, but this is a Sony/MGM/Eon copyrighted image - we can link-to but not show the image. It's a pain but dems is da rules.

Asp9mm

There are at least five layers, but internally there may be more, the fittings are so tight it's very hard to tell.

bigchief589

Hey, Are these chips completely plastic or are they clay with plastic coating (if you can tell).
also how thick are they?

DanielKoons

Is there a way you can email me the full resolution files of those plaques i would love it,

Hello,

Sorry to bring this thread up after so long but I was searching google and found it. I'm trying to purchase 3-4 of each the red and blue plaques from Casino Royale. They don't have to be actual movie props, replicas will do but all I have been able to find are ones the are spelt wrong. If anyone is able to help me please let me know. I'm located in the US and e-mail is stepdev@npgcable.com and I'm willing to pay decent money for them. Thanks{[]

I don't think you will find these plaques for sale anywhere, except for the "Casino Royal" or "Hotel Splendide" plaques made by Matsui. All the actual Casino Royale plaques were made in limited numbers as previously stated by ASP9mm. All were used in the production of the movie and most were retained by EON. If they come up on the market be prepared to pay in the thousand for each.

texas007

BTW, the casino royale plaques as seen in the movie were made in France by Bourgogne et Grasset - B&G. The plaques were made in B&G tradition: design and construction. The number of plies, the raise edges and the lunettes (which is their distinguishing feature).
Here are other sample of their workhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140242450954&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004

Hi sorry to open and start posting on an old post, but does anyone know where i could get a few casino royale plaques from? I have found some on ebay but they are in the US and i live in the UK which makes it a little more expensive.

how much would it cost to have some copied? not to the exact original but to a good standard, and who would be able to produce them?

Thanks

Jack

Bond Collectors' Weekends

As Kan wrote, there are the Casino Royal (no "E") plaques on eBay, provided by the fellow who is under license from Eon and made by Matsui. The Hotel Splendide plaques are stopped/sold out (send me a note if you have more to sell to me!) and the actual screen used plaques go for thousands of dollars apiece if you can find them.

I have a variety of plaques and chips available for sale from seven Bond films and am always looking to buy, sell and trade. Thanks!
