Notes: In one box I received zero relics. In another I received two relics. I pulled 13 40th Anniv autos and should have pulled 12. I'm pleased for a variety of reasons. I'm not a "40th" or "Full Bleed" only collector. I take what I can get and that's why I've been buying cases since "Complete Bond" or "In Motion" (can't remember which was released first!). I think it's cool to mix it up and I'm not patient enough to chase down what I don't get and too cheap to pay top dollar just to say I have that missing 9-case chase card in my collection.
The breakdown in this set was perfect. I like the two autos, one relic ratio. Like most I also like the return of Femme Fatales and the introduction of the BJB chase cards.
The other thing that was cool was the amount of new signers. I don't think I have any of the autographs I pulled in any of my other collections. That's awesome! Thanks to Rittenhouse for not giving up and for trying very hard to keep things fresh.
Finally, when I pulled the Brosnan auto I could only think of X as that's pretty much all he's been talking about for the past six months (sorry, dude...)! Then I though about calling someone who might actually care but that list is very, very short. So I called the dude I bought the cards from (ED!!!) and his happiness for me was genuine. We've had a pretty wet spring here in Indiana and the night I pulled the Brosnan card I was using a flashlight (power was out) to help me organize my cards and find my way. For obvious reasons my Brosnan pull lit up my house on what was otherwise a dark and stormy night...

To quote Wayne Newton in Licence to Kill: "Bless your heart!" I don't know whether to be flattered or shut-up about this card! I'm pleased so many collectors such as yourself have had a decent shot at pulling cards of this calibre from a product. You can bet if the property had been in the hands of the likes of Upper Deck or Topps, we'd have about 20 squashed signatures on stickers. Rittenhouse on the other hand keeps persevering and gives us on-card autos from good signers which are "extremely limited". As vague as that is, if they are coming out roughly 1 in every 3 cases, as per Steve Charendoff's comments we know it will be close to 200 cards for Brosnan. And for a real A-lister; a genuine mover STAR, and a key player in the Bond series I can't overestimate how well Rittehouse have done to secure him at all. Then to give collectors such a decent quantity only helps prove what a good company they are in general. And we will no doubt have more full bleed and the 40th style variations to look forward to in furure. RA really do spoil us.
Unlike you I was not brave enough take my chances by breaking a case so I decided to bite the bullet and pre-order the Brosnan auto for about half the price of a case. The most I have ever paid for ANY card was half this amount so it was a daunting purchase to say the least, but I think I got a good deal worth every hard-saved penny. After I've picked it up today, I imagine I'll be as thrilled as you are (touch wood I'm not jinxing it and it's not been destroyed in transit)!
Congratulations on the great pull!

Great pulls from 4 cases. In the case where you did not get the Bond auto, is that where you got the best relic, The Motorcycle Gloves?
no the gloves came from the same case as one of the craig auto in fact in the same box as a craig auto

No Craig or Brosnan autos, but I ended up with two VL autographs, so I'm pretty happy.
