Casino Royale storyboards ...

Hi all,
while i've been a HUGE James Bond fan since my father took me to my 1st Bond film i haven't been a Bond collector (till now !). I have collected a number of other things - wathces namely - and suddenly find myself looking for all sorts of Bond collectables. I'll certainly be looking for Ian Fleming 1st Editions, but till i find the right one (or more ... lol), i did come across something else that caught my attention. Being my 1st Bond collectable purchase i'm not really sure i did well ; or if the item is legit ?
I purchased (on Ebay - the big online fleamarket
) 135 pages of Casino Royale storyboards. My question to the forum is are these legit, if so how collectable are they, and finally i wonder why a another more knowledgeable collector didn't snag them ?
Here's the photos from the auction:
79 Crane sequence and 56 Miami action airport sequence) NOT A COPY
Superb artwork
Has been used - though Good Condition - only minimal wear
This was collected from the crew after filming had taken place.
I have hopes of framing a number of each scene - my wife even likes the idea {[]
Any thoughts or opinions in regard to these storyboards are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and consideration ...
One final question (hence the edit) - i just recieved a follow-up email from the seller, before he ships. He also has story boards from DIE Another DAY and Tomorrow Never Dies ... about $100 per set of storyboards. I don't think i can pony up another $200 for both sets, so if i go for one, which should it be ? Any interest in the other set - i can forward the sellers email (and email address for anyone interested).
Kind Regards,
Billy

Great set, and a great price too. It will increase in value hugeley over the coming years as CR becomes an iconic Bond film. Many CR items on ebay are slipping through the net, and this is the best time to snag them as interest wanes between movies.
Hope you (and all the other forum members) are having a terrific, relaxing weekend !
Kind Regards,
Billy
