I have a full set of 60 Somportex James bond Movie Scenes. circa 1964 Are they a sought after item?

Hi yes they are sought after BUT there are differing prices.
they all came in strips of three so these are the most valuable, individual next and mounted in the original frames last. Over the last few years the last two have swapped places many times as some people only collected mounted etc. etc.
I guess a ballpark on a set of uncut strips would be about 300 UK. Go down from there according to condition
Not sure how easy sale it would be though as many people have never seen these and the market is far greater recently for modern items.
I have the original card set (as well as the repros done in the 90s) a few of the second set (which I never saw in my local newsagents) and none of the OHMSS set - again let down by local newsagents.
I also have the YOLT slides (somewhere) and was in the middle of transferring them to glass slide mounts when I moved (20 years ago), they're in the flat somewhere. I do remember using a hand held viewer to look at some of those I'd mounted which was much better than projecting them onto a screen - they were not of any great quality and this showed when projected.
I have a couple of the viewers somewhere, it probably was a great thing in 1967 but they really are very poor quality
