Are you kidding? I most certainly do. However, I favor the U.S. one sheets to any other style. I have at least one original U.S. one sheet from every Bond movie as well as one of the Moonraker "one stops" that was supposed to be cut into two one sheets and a set of lobby cards by the theater owner. It's the one that has two Moore gun next to face poses (aping Connery's pose with the LP-53) and it is uncut. I think it's the more desiarable of the two "one stops" called the "advance one stop". I also have some odd foreign Bond posters as well as some product tie in Bond posters. I've been slowly posting pictures of my collection here as time permits.

I'm going to start seriously collecting again one of these days. I only have a few reprints. A Thunderball that I need to check if it's a reprint or reissue. Also, I have a Goldeneye teaser framed. Not sure if it's original or not. I think I received it from a theater or special offer at the time of release.

AdamCarterJones · February 2011

Cool, DG.
I know which poster you refer to - it's impressive when fully opened!
Without posting your images again, do you have a link to the relevant section on here so I can see them?

SilentSpy, do you have an image of the Thunderball poster?
Someone here will almost certainly be able to tell you what it is.
Oh, and yes, you must start collecting again!

When a new movie is released I collect the main posters, the double sideds and the quads. Besides that, only product placement ones... Omega, Bollinger etc. Hence I love the TLD promo posters you posted earlier !

Goldfinger Rarity...the Holy Grail? + Thunderball Grail

Certainly is. Of all the door pannels for the Connery era, I think the Goldfinger door pannels are the best. The one with Connery is probably the most sought after, but the complete set would be dynamite! I could have had a Thunderball door pannel set for relatively little money at one time, but passed. It was sold and later turned up at auction for a princely sum! Another one that got away!

So far I've posted only up to Casino Royale. My main computer sh*t the bed again, so it will probably be another week or so before I post any more pictures. Here are the links so far:

Thanks DG!
Very impressive!
More of the same!

John, is that the GF DC you have?
I know of only ONE other person who has this if that's what it is! Congrats!
And congrats on the BSA poster & the Door Panel - do you have the set?

Yes it is the lesser known UK Goldfinger Double Crown, only previously seen on the back of the UK campaign book, amazing 60's colours. Only the "James" Goldfinger door panel although the set currently for sale in the US are on my shopping list when I win the lottery..lol

AdamCarterJones · February 2011

Yeah, those Door Panels are on CineMasterpieces ...
I've only bought from him once on ebay years ago, but he's a good guy.
And he is able to command those prices due to his clientèle.
Call him the 'Tony Nourmand' of the USA - I do! Ha! It's true though when you think about it!

Well, if you ever wish to get rid of your BSA poster you know where I am - wink wink, nudge nudge!

)

Oh, and the TB Advance Quad is quite something up close, in my opinion.
Is yours framed? Linenbacked? Can't really tell from the picture!

Best,
Adam

All posters linen backed & framed. Tball advance quad I've had for about 17 years & was the most expensive purchase at the time for £1500...ouch! BSA poster took years to track down. Was found on the back wall of a classic motorcycles dealer in the US. Needed a clean & linen backing to bring it back to its former glory oh & it cost more than some of the classic motorcycles of that time sell for...more ouch!

I have the Thunderball rolled in a tube with some other posters with acid free paper in between each one. I stopped collecting when I became concerned about reprints. Changed my focus to lithographs and prints for the time. I'll check it out one of these days and put up an image. But I'm fairly sure the poster says reprint on one of the bottom corners. I doubt it says reissue. But I picked it up in the late 90s.

Greatest ever Goldfinger poster art?

This poster has it all right down to the trademark Walther LP53...Enjoy!

AdamCarterJones · February 2011

Nice, John!!!
You must email me!

SilentSpy, will be good when you get round to finding out.

Double post, accident.

bushwoodcountryclub · March 2011

I have a ton of Bond posters, but you know what....they were all $5 or less!

I don't have a problem at all spending money on my Bond collection, but I got B-U-R-N-E-D back about 15 years ago on a "authentic" poster (BS!).

After that....I swore that on items like this that I would just go for what I liked and saved a ton of headaches and money. I have each film framed in the media room and couldn't be happier.

)

I would love to have an authentic Live and Let Die or a few others from the Moore era, but dang...ya know once you jump in the pool and hit your head on the diving board you are ALWAYS gonna be a little hesitant to do it again!

Wish my BSA poster looked that good - but at least I didn't have to pay anything like you did - gratis, from the manager of the cinema where I first saw it 45 years (or so ) ago.

Monza860 · March 2011

Not much of one, all I have is the Casino Royale double sided poster and a Japanese version with him holding up his suppressed P99.

AdamCarterJones · March 2011

Ah, Robin ... Still a lovely poster either way!

Monza - which JAP poster is it??

British OHMSS Double Crown quad poster

There is a great deal of BS on certain specialst poster sites regarding the right side of this poster as George Lazenby was only going to appear in one movie so his image would not be displayed on the poster campaign but as you can clearly see the two halves join together to form a quad featuring Mr Lazenby although they were mainly utilised on the advertising panels either side of the central panel where a bus stops at on a London bus. The advertising campaign was fully developed to include Mr Lazenby & believe me guys some of the concept images featuring Mr Lazenby armed with a Walther LP53 are just amazing!

Artwork by the great Robert McGinnis...Nobody Does it Better!

AdamCarterJones · March 2011

ppw - WOW!
I like!!!
Don't tell me you have concept art as well!?

Monza, I had a feeling it may have been that one you were talking about.
It's amazing how blue his eye is - I think it harms the essence of the poster.

Best,
Adam

Monza860 · March 2011

My poster is actually considerably darker, he's almost a silhouette. That's why I like it, because he's like blending in with the background and being sneaky. His eyes don't show through as blue in the poster.
