Once again my overall impression of the product is good. The design is great and has been adjusted just enough to distinguish between the two releases. Really dig on the metal cards and their variances. Nice to see unstoppable dumped the cut cards, sadly the ugliest auto cards in this set are the duo sig cards. Just baffles me that someone can look at that design and go "nice!" I do feel it a bit bitter sweet that I pulled two of them. Would some type of image be too much to ask?

Guess I spoke too soon. Looks like the Sean Connery cut that was advertised for the first edition has finally shown up on ebay as part of the new release.

Still a super ugly card with no images of the character. Will be interesting to see what it sells for.

2 of those Sean Connery cuts have appeared on ebay. I like the ones that Rittenhouse did for their final Bond set much better !

Speaking about the Bond card, I haven't seen many up for auction in awhile, and now suddenly there are 7 on ebay. All $ 3,000 and up. No recent sales

I believe back in 2017, the estimate was that about 40 were made, and yet 7 are up for sale now

I know one of the sell sheets for the first series had Clancy and Sean listed for an extremely low number of cuts. It is just difficult for me to consider these beastly things as autograph cards. They are more like uniquely framed cuts.

At least the RA ones are designed with the card collector in mind.

Judging by what is available it would appear that Clancy Brown is a tough autograph to get. Maybe at some point I will find a clean enough sig to make my own cut. Arguably I consider him the best character in the film so it's a tough pill to swallow not having him in the set.

Still, hats off to unstoppable for what they managed to pulled together on a title that is nearly 40 years old. Looking forward to the new film with Henry Cavill.
