Bond, James Bond

Mike, congrats on the Craig auto! What a great pull!

looks like Craig failed Her Majesty's penmanship course- what an awful mess of a signature. Congrats on the valuable pull however!

Highlights: High quality base cards. Love the stock size and glossy finish! In my last box I pulled four autos (first time ever) and two were very limited. That doesn't suck! My breakdown went like this:
Very Limited = 5
Limited = 25
Others = 7
Relics = 2

Lowlights: Had three dupe autos. Not really a big deal as I'll more than likely trade for something else. I'd say my biggest upset was not pulling either Arts and Images card. I know they're numbered to only 375 each, but I was hoping for at least one. In my opinion, if they're that rare they shouldn't be listed with the other expansion chase cards with a ratio of one per box.

Another fantastic release Bond release from RA. What an awesome set! Can't wait for the next one!!!

This is my first post ever and it seems fitting because this is the first case I have ever bought. I only kept track of the relics and autographs although I completed all of the subsets with the exception of Arts and Images A121 and the relic cards.

Box 183
A140 Gotfried John

Box 4176
A154 Frederick Warder
FB Julian Glover
FB Eunice & Kate Gayson

Box 4175
FB Trina Parks
A153 Corinne Clery

I only got 3 VL's, but I wont complain since one of them was the Craig. I will however complain about only getting 2 autographs in Box 4175. It was the last box I opened and I kept looking in the packs to make sure I didn't leave one inside but no luck. I was hoping not to get any duplicates, but 2 dupes is not too bad overall. Are there 3 autographs guaranteed per box or is it just an average of the overall run? I think the photos used are amond the best of any James Bond set and the large amounts of both full bleed and 40th anniversary style keeps all James Bond collectors happy, with even a few Women of Bond style thrown in for good measure.

I got four boxes, and have four more boxes coming in soon. Overall, I'm pretty happy:

Box 1:
BV0022 Expansion Card
Women of James Bond in Motion #66
B1,6
Tsai Chin as Ling (FB)
Gottfried John as General Orlov (Limited)
Olga Bisera as Felicia (Limited)

Box #2
Bond Villains F69 Expansion Card
Women of James Bond in Motion #64
B4,5
Tsai Chin as Ling (WOB)
Kabir Bedi as Gobinda (Limited)
Gloria Hendry as Rosie Carver (FB)

Box #3
BW0022 Expansion Card
James Bond in Motion #66
B2,4
Will Yun Lee as Colonel Moon (FB) (Very Limited)
Trina Parks as Thumper (FB)
Julian Glover as Aris Kristatos (FB)

Box #4 (My Quantum of Solace Box)
T11 Expansion Card
James Bond in Motion #64
B2
Olga Kurylenko as Camille (Very Limited)
Simon Kassianides as Yusef
Joaquin Cosio as General Medrano (FB) (Limited)

I'm super stoked about the Camille auto, as it was one of the three that I wanted most from the set. Hopefully from the four boxes that I will get next week, I can get an Atterton or Craig auto, or some more WOB or 40th style autos, as I am not the hugest fan of the full bleeds.

hit 3 relics to a case but I got a bunch of triples

Got one box and ten randon packs. The box had full set and regular number of inserts. Autographs:
Papillon Soo Soo
Olga Bisera
Joaquin Cosio

One autograph in packs: Simon Kassianides

Not being an avid Bond collector trying to make a master, I wasn't too happy with my picks because I wouldn't be buying any of these actors individually. There are a good 7 - 8 cards I want in this set, but it seems like I will be hunting them down.

Based on the breaks I've seen so far, case buying is very good, but unlike the Lost Seasons 1 - 5 cards which appeared to have had at least one pretty good hit in every box, single boxes are less likely to yield a big hit. Just my own observation.

I think Rittenhouse needs a new category - Very, Very Limited.
