On a different note I just bit the bullet and bought a Quotable master set for 1125 dollars which works out about £650. I now have overwhelming guilt

Welcome to Card Talk Alasdair.
Had you attended the meeting at the NEC it would have cost you less for Archive box !

Such is life ! Perhaps you could start a new thread on thing I feel guilty about !

Although correct me if im wrong - an archive box doesnt contain the 3 case cards or the binder + costume card.

That is correct. It only contains pack pulled cards.

& they did ! It arrived today with £20.32 to pay for VAT and Parcelforce's handling

OK the final US box for me

Box 6846

So 2 limited auto's, 4 not limited (one was Burt Kwouk (Dr Who, Bond and Pink Panther) )) and a Vintage Bond card of the one true Bond Mr C !

All in all not bad

Not bad boxes.I too got a pack pulled vintage connery and it felt sweeter than a nonlimited auto. I just hope they dont get him to sign for the upcoming 00 series or its imminent bankruptcy for me.

PS master set arrived and its well sweet. saves me alot of time i just dont have, to put the set together.

Think its unlikely that Connery will ever sign for something like this. The best chance is a cut signature card. I paid close to £100 for a Connery auto on an 8x10 from the stall where Ingrid Pitt sits at the NEC several years ago. It came from a charity auction he had donated too but I dont think he signs a lot. The next best shot is someone like Timothy Dalton who's lives in the UK (Derbyshire) and may agree to something like this.

There are several 'big names' i can think of who might sign, but i guess its a balance of paying the signers what they're worth and the market that exists for the cards. I agree that connery is out of the ball park but big names like Dalton, Rigg, Blackman, Teri Hatcher, Grace Jones, Robbie Coltrane or fellow scot Robert Carlyle may be worth approaching. Some like Honor Blackman, Alan Cumming and Famke Janssen have already signed for other sets so may be a good bet. Hopefully ursula andress signs the ones she was rumoured to have been sent. The autographs have been well received and even ones perceived to be fillers have been nice cards. I personally am just happy that the bond sets by Rittenhouse have been of such a standard to get me really enthusiastic about collecting again.

Just opened two boxes - one North American and one UK. And I'm happy

Here we go:

North American box:

Theme Songs: T2, T7, T8, T10
Villains: F4 (Largo), F12 (Kristatos)
Bond Girls are Forever: BG22, BG29
Vintage Bond: VB1 (Sean Connery)
Auto: A30 - Michelle Yeoh (limited) ; A45 - Carey Lowell (very limited)

UK box

Theme Songs: T3, T5, T7, T10
Villains: F1 (Dr. No), F10 (Karl Stromberg), F18 (Elliot Carver)
Villains and Vixens: UK8
Auto: A34 - Blanche Ravalec; A29 - Roger Moore

Happy, happy, happy

I was hoping for the Sophie Marceau auto, but the ones I got more than make up for hers, which I can get elsewhere

What a great way to start the holidays

Just what were the odds for the Roger Moore A29 Auto card?

In a moment of weakness I bought another box of The Quotable Bond (#0495/8000 and I pulled the A29 again.

That's two in 2 boxes. What are the odds???

Congratulations Boldlygone!!!!

From what what I have heard the odds of finding a Roger Moore card are about 1 in every 3 cases (1:36 boxes).
