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 Autos : A30 Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin in "Tomorrow Never Dies" (Limited) A45 Carey Lowell as Pam Bouvier in "Licence To Kill" (Very Limited) Vintage Bond : VB3 Roger Moore 270/700 Bond Girls: BG24 Rosamund Pike Villains: F5, F11, F14 Themes: T3,T5,T7,T10
Another good box to end on!

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.
box #4058 (1 pack missing from this box) A44,WA20 BG23 F1,10 T2,4,6,8

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
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
