I nipped into my local newsie and they had what seemed "Issue 1" of a new JB collector's magazine with trading cards. Is this authentic? They are £1.50 each but regular issues are priced at double o:
Again, worth the spendula being as I've just about stopped collecting music?

They also had a series of cards with character profiles etc.
I don't see why they would re-issue them....
Why? To cash in on the new film, why else?
this looks like a new version of that collection, which now includes Casino Royale. click on the Magazine tab on the page that tyler gave the link to, to see pages of the magazine.
That's exactly what it is.
will it have a tin or something ? like the old one ?
hehe fun game on the site, and i won {[]
There is a tin in the second edition, and a bunch of freebies if you subscribe to them.
it says the pen can reveal special codes on the cards using its UV bulb. has anyone tried it on banknotes to reveal the hidden note denomination in the bottom left corner of £5, £10 and old £20 notes? (it's atthe top of new £20 notes, and they also have differently coloured security fibres that are revealed under a UV light source)
i want a pen/light to check banknotes so for £1.50 it's not bad, especially as it is a pen also (i think?).
or does it only work with the Bond cards?
i noticed it's issued by GE Fabbri like the Bond Cars Collection.
oh and next to the card collection was a magazine named Spy Files (different to the old magazine/card collection, this was like a book), which is a biography of all the actors who've played Bond so far, incuding Craig, and it has a 2008 Bond Girls calendar inside the pack too. anyone picked this up?
cool, so a £20 note looks like the image on the right under the light, revealing the "20"?
you get a poster of Craig (the image on the cover of the magazine) with a checklist for all the cards under it, and on the reverse side it's the black silhouette image of Bond with his gun.
to collect all 52 issues it'll cost around £155, so i won't be subscribing as i'm already getting the Bond car collection.
although a full set of cards displayed in the collector's tin that comes with issue 2 would be a nice item to have.
I Wont Be Collecting Them, Only 1 and 2, 2 becasue it gets a tin. I aswell get the Car Collection Which Is Enough
I have spent well over £100 on these as Issue 1 was 4 times the value of following issues. Issue 2 had a tin. (I got2,one for first 2 sets and the other for repeats.)There are 6 twin-pic cards in the 275 card set. Nos 19-Lotus,40-BMW Z8,49-ZaoDNA,189-Moon/GravesDNA,242-Parahawk exploding & 275-Vanquish Vanish. Next week will be issue 5, but I now have a whole set and am 6 short of a 2nd set. So buying early saves money in the long run.
