007 Spy Cards

So is anyone collecting the 007 Spy Cards collection which is now on Issue 2?(every fortnight.)
Issue 1 was £1.50 with 2 packs of cards of 10.
(so twice the value.) Issue 2 and onwards is £2.99 with one pack of cards and the tin to collect them. Then Issue 3 goes back to 2 packs of cards.
There are 275 cards in the set and it is similar but better than the Spy Files of a few years ago.
Due to the half price of Issue 1 I ended up buying 30 sets at £1.50, (60 packs of cards)
and now have 235 of the 275 and loads of repeat cards. About 100 I passed on to another Bond collector. There are some metallic foil cards and also good 2-way pictures. The last one 275 is of the aston Vanquish and you tilt it and it
half disappears like the Vanish.
cheers, De Bleuchamp.

Also No. 40 is the BMW Z8 from TWINE being cut in half by the helicopter tree Saw.(front view.)
I'm more interested in getting the Set of cards and the magazine is incidental. Separate card packs are £1.50 each now.
Don't know if they are holding some cards back until later issues? but each one has a different mix of cards. At least 9 and sometimes a shiny tenth card in each packet.

WH Smith and local newsagents, but not in supermarkets.
So you need to seek out the little shops.
I've found 4 that stock them.
I now have 225 / 275 so 20 more to find.

and have about 2,200 cards (the set is 275 cards)
so I have at least 7 or more of each card, except for the 6 x 2-way image cards.

Two ways of detecting thick cards is to ask to feel all the packs in the box ! and I cut a 2mm slot in a piece of thick card. The thin packs fit but the thicker ones jam. It's a bit eccentric-but whatever works!

I'm sure the clerks in the stores must love you and the people in line behind you!
8420, please do not spam me with your PM inquiries if I am interested in your 007 spy cards. I have never indicated any interest and do not appreciate your solicitation. I get enough spam without your unwanted PM's adding to it. I see you are only 13 but you need to be more respectful to the members of this forum.
