edited September 2012 in James Bond Memorabilia, Collecting & Props
For those who do not check out the AJB events listing section, Christies/EON have now released the list of 50 lots in their forthcoming 50th Anniversary Charity Archive auction which are simply amazing. Lots 41-50 are by invite only in person (although you can bid on line) so bring your private banker & VESPER access code with you oh and don't forget the chocolates! The auction lots are superior IMO of some of the recent Archive exhibits in London.....My flabber is Gasted!

Enjoy.

    I think the estimates are a little conservative to say the least Mr Bond!

    OH YESSS !

    I'm estimating things down for say £1500 -£2000 will possibly go for tens of thousands, watches & cars have got to be hundreds of thousands? if similar auctioned certified items are anything to go by. A well known US poster dealer has a set of 4 Thunderball door panels for I believe $30k where the auction set is estimated to £6-£8k. Look at the box of Casino Royale poker plaques which sell loose for roughly £1000 each from dealers so that's £14k plus at least another £2k for the pair of Casino Royale stools for starters on that particular lot and remember these will be EON certified "kerching!"and a coa doesn't get much better than that unless George Lucas has signed it!

    This is pretty awesome!!! Really nice things, especially the Skyfall Premiere and Aston Martin Experience.
    @Teppo: I gotta fill the lottery ticket, too :)

    PS: The Cufflinks from Skyfall are very interesting!

    Now we now for sure, who made the One&Only playing cards! I was looking for this one, not very surprised that Cartamundi made these for the movie. Shame they're not available on the market :(((

    Fascinated by the, erm, range of collectors who might be interested in Craigy's CR budgie smugglers.

    From genuine JB prop memorabilia collectors to perhaps more colourful and obsessive DC fans. The old DC nuthuggers (loads of 'em at CBN) who might be interested in an item which had, well, hugged DC's nuts.

    Wonder if they've been washed? Christ knows the value if they've got some DC DNA on 'em.

    Love those Skyfall cufflinks with the Bond family coat of arms on them. Subtle and tasteful. Would love to sport those on my wrists!

    Wow, some interesting stuff, namely that DC wears a US size 38 in the tux and suite, wow I would have thought that he would be wear a bigger size.

    And yet isn't Brozza a 42 by the size of one of his suits being sold?

    The magic of the movies and brilliant PR working in harmony.

    Well, judging by how he can hardly button the suits in the film, he should be wearing a bigger size. He's more like a 40.

    The DBS would have been tempting, but some bloody idiot has only gone and put the steering wheel on the wrong side; AM really need to sort out their QC department!

    Love the Skyfall cufflinks. I wonder if Tom Ford will be offering them or if they are only a one off. The only problem of course is that Bond in the novel OHMSS in essence rejects the achievement of arms but accepts the motto. Still love them though as a display piece.

    Not rejected, explictly anyway, in the movie OHMSS.

    And I suspect that's the medium EON are following due, if nothing else, to that film sadly better known as a reference point by Joe Cinema Going Public than Fleming's original.

    Ok Moonraker 5 was on display at the Barbican and has lost several of its engine cones. - Moonraker 1 looks in near pristine condition by comparison.

    Impressive list. - Its almosy a Gazillionaires's Christmas Wish list! :D
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
  • 007DAN007DAN CheshirePosts: 99MI6 Agent
    I so wish i was loaded!!!!

    There is loads of stuff for sale that was on show at the Barbican. I know that has ended now but it is moving on to Canada next. What are they going to show, different props, because loads of it they are selling off. Now I know they have a number of the same props (DBS for example - AM gave them about 6 to play with) but I'm a little sus about the authenticity of this swag to be honest. Maybe I'm jealous, because if I had the money, I'd still buy the whole lot - fake or not.

    I'm so tempted to sell my kids to raise the funds for the Premier tickets! That for me would be priceless.
