The breaks on these are shocking archive boxes seem to me to be good value for money with sealed cases being so poor.

Rittenhouse cases don't seem worth the cost, I may just go for master sets in future of sets I'm collecting myself. As for splitting a case for resale NO CHANCE, buyers want a B/S at £1, autographs are expensive if you ask more than £5. It seems only big sellers can manage any kind of profit by getting Multi-Case cards and Archive Boxes.

Just finished opening another case. Quite pleased with this one.

2 extremely limited autos: Roger Moor and Halle Berry!!

Will put full breakdown later.

I've been sorting out my From Russia with Love cards and came across a few damaged cards and wondered if anyone else has had this prolem ? I have'nt checked the base cards yet so don't know if any of those are damanged.

See scan below of example;

Got my two boxes with the usual, but as I do it for the autographs I got nothing special I'm afraid.

Alizia Gur
Steven Berkoff - FB
Joaquin Martinez - FB

Jack Klaff
Frank McRae
Lois Chiles - FB

I never seem to have a great deal of luck with Bond. I seem to pull mostly minor characters and actors I don't know. Can't say I don't keep trying though.

My two boxes...



Tania Mallett as Tilly Masterson in Goldfinger Limited
Ulrich Thomsen as Davidov in The World Is Not Enough Limited
A167 Kim Norton as Zorin Party Guest in A View To A Kill




Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies Limited
Gotz Otto as Stamper in Tomorrow Never Dies Limited
A215 Tom So as Fukuta in Casino Royale Limited
A203 Sneh Gupta as Hotel Valet in Octopussy Limited

Very pleased with the Michelle Yeoh and the extra auto.

I had a box arrive yesterday, it was a box containing the album and the master set I had ordered. The master set included an empty box.

All mine were fine, looks like you were unlucky.

Opened 1 case.

All 3 shadowbox cards


00xEL autos
02xVL
30xL
05xnormal

Considering the amount of autos in the set, I wouldn't have expected more than 1 duplicate but got 3.

Did I mention no extremely limited autos in the case?

Both the series 1 and 2 cases of the 50th Anniversary set have been a bust for me and I don't see me buying any more Bond releases.

Ditto, both releases were rubbish for me as well.

You must have been really unlucky. From a dozen cases we got 4 X Halle Berry, 3 X Gemma Arterton, 1 X Daniel Craig, 3 X Roger Moore, 3 X Clifton James, 3 X Honor Blackman, 2 X Nadja Regin.

We had at least one Extremely Limited per case.

From my case picked up at Memorablia on Saturday there was just 1 Extremely limited auto Halle Berry ( Sadly :-( )

Only 3 duplicate autos ( Tony Meyer as Grishka, Nina Muschalilik as Verushka and Pat Gill as "Shady Tree's Acorn" )

3 ShadowBoxes and the other chase cards were present and the "From Russia With Love" cards all seemed OK

Perhaps the double sets overstretched Rittenhouse or will the likes of "Zorin Party Guest" and "Shady Tree's Acorn" be the new level of auto cards going forward. Certainly this seemed not worth the time or money

Made the mistake of picking up another box today.

P19
SF4
GG28, GG35

Autos
Anatole Taubman
George Leech
Cristina Contes

I picked up a box from the local card/comic shop on impulse. While I did get an extra auto there wasn't anything really exciting, although I do like the "Jaws" auto, easily my favorite Bond villain.

Autos:

Anne Lonnberg
Steven Berkoff
Simon Andreu
Richard Kiel "Jaws"

Picked up a box:

SF2
P14, P20
GG23, GG32
Gloria Hendry / Rosie Carver (40th)
Pat Gill / Shady Tree's Acorn (40th)
Serena Gordon / Caroline (FB)
Parallels: 18, 38, 50, 58, 80, 96, 100, 110

Picked up last 2 boxes from the post office.

Autos
Anne Lonnberg (FB)
Joaquin Martinez (FB)
John Wyman (FB)

Simon Andreu
Nina Muschallik
Halle Berry

P13, P19, P16, P22

Forgot to make a note of the rest.

That's a fantastic pull. I'm always very happy when any of my customers pull an Extremely Limited Autograph.

Hi everyone, I've been lurking on this site for a year or so. I love seeing what people pull out of boxes/cases, but never really thought about joining, as my luck with boxes hasn't been that great. Well, that changed on Christmas morning. I received two boxes of 50th Anniversary Series 2 from my parents (well, I bought them, then they paid me back ). The first box yielded typical results for me: Steven Berkoff FB, Anne Lonnberg FB and Simon Andreu 40th Style. But, as you can see, I did much better on my second box:

By and far, the best pull I've ever had in 20-plus years of card collecting! Seeing how rare the Halle is (about one in three cases), I feel incredibly lucky to have gotten it.

(edit: sorry if you can't see the photo. If you right-click on the box and select "view image", it will show up).
