James Bond Trading Cards -new set due in October

Smithers500

I was wondering if there was much interest in the various trading card sets that have been released in the past, particularly the chase cards?

Rittenhouse Archives are releasing another trading card set in October and the list of autograph signers is fairly substantial and a good mix across the film series;

• Honor Blackman in "Goldfinger"
• Robert Carlyle in "The World Is Not Enough"
• Denise Richards in "The World is Not Enough"
• Wayne Newton in "Licence To Kill"
• Margaret Nolan in "Goldfinger"
• Joe Don Baker in "GoldenEye"
• Priscilla Barnes in "Licence To Kill"
• Jesper Christensen in "Casino Royale"
• Patrick Bauchau in "A View To A Kill"
• Ludger Pistor in "Casino Royale"
• Serena Gordon in "GoldenEye"
• Ivana Milicevic in "Casino Royale"
• Alkis Kritikos in "For Your Eyes Only"
• Isaach De Bankole in "Casino Royale"
• Albert Moses in "Octopussy"
• Malcolm Sinclair in "Casino Royale"
• Thomas Wheatley in "The Living Daylights"
• Richard Sammel in "Casino Royale"
• Terence Mountain in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
• Clemens Schick in "Casino Royale"
• David Meyer in "Octopussy"
• Tony Meyer in "Octopussy"
• Joseph Millson in "Casino Royale"
• Kate Gayson in "GoldenEye"
• Daud Shah in "Casino Royale"
• Sid Haig in "Diamonds Are Forever"
• Daniel Andreas in "Casino Royale"
• John Terry in "The Living Daylights"
• Tsai Chin in "Casino Royale"
• David Calder in "The World Is Not Enough"
• Urbano Barberini in "Casino Royale"
• Grand L. Bush in "Licence To Kill"
• Cecilie Thomsen in "Tomorrow Never Dies"

There will also be costume and prop cards much like in the last set released.

I've been a keen collector of these cards for some time and one of these days Ill get around to posting some photos of my collection so far, which features some actors who are sadly no longer with us eg Michael Billington.

The only down side I see with this new set is that there will only be one autograph card per box, so in all likelihood making a master set cost prohibitive, as dealers will have to purchase and open more boxes to make up a set.

I too enjoy hunting for the James Bond autograph cards from RA. I've collected almost all of them and framed them in several wall displays. I'm looking forward to adding the latest offerings this October. When I get a chance, I'll post some pics of everything that I have so far. I also have a couple of autograph sets from Inkworks. {[]

As promised, here's a pic of my latest JB autograph card setup (click on the pic for a larger version):

Wow, great collection!

I'm also looking forward to the release of the new AC's ... have been looking for a Cecilie Thomsen autograph a long time!

Tilly Masterson 007

Wow, what a good list of signers!

Serena Gordon is quite a reluctant signer, so this is good to have her on the list!

There are some very rare names in the autograph world there, some are quite sought after and should have no trouble selling.

That is a great display method Spectreisland - I probably have as many but they are all in stacked in piles in a cupboard at the moment!

Thank you Smithers500. These type of displays keep these auto cards neat and dust free and allow me to change the display as needed since I will be adding more soon. The pic doesn't show it very well but the display is two-piece hinged frame, 24 by 36 inches and the front part which is framed plexiglass, lifts up to allow you to change cards around as needed. When closed, the two pieces are held snug by velcro pads located on the inside bottom ends of the frame. I chose to arrange the autos chronologically by film starting with Dr. No and so on just to keep things simple.

Great collection, I have 5 of them, I would love to have all of them, nicely framed out like that. Well Done.

Smithers500

I envy your wall space!

Just looking over your collection, it's reminded me how varied and extensive the signers have been to date, some of my own favourites;

Lois Maxwell auto -Women of Bond Collection
Desmond Llewelyn - TWINE
The Rittenhouse 40th anniversary style cards for George Baker, Mie Hama and Mads Mikkelsen -though regarding this one, I must confess to getting a bit of a reality check when I was at the London Film Comic Con purchasing his auto card and he was sat signing 8 x 10's in person at the same venue - for less money!
