I posted on the first page of this thread my sub-par box of this product. It was missing quite a few cards, including the autograph. Well, after contacting Rittenhouse Archives I must say that I'm extremely pleased with their customer service! The missing inserts were replaced and a random autograph pack was included in the package. I pulled a Very Limited Marguerite Lewars auto from the pack!

Joanna at RA was great to work with and she was able to turn a bad experience into a good one for me.

Thanks Joanna and RA!

Rich

That's great to hear Rich

I have another box coming and will post when it arrives.

That is why RA are one of the top companies - Customer service

Hey guys and girls again still waiting for my box of this set to arrive but on a side note and no one chastise me for this but to other card collectors in the UK where do most of you get your cards/binders from is there any reasonable UK shops or does most of it come from abroad?

I have to admit that the majority of the cards I purchase are from US-dealers, they tend to have the better selection and more competitive prices. And what with the current rate of exchange, what may appear expensive to US buyers is often quite affordable for us Brits. The only downside is postage costs - which although can be as little as $3 for individual cards, can be quite a bit when talking cases - and what with HM customs...I tend only to purchase from UK dealers if I want to purchase several inexpensive items all together, such as a any elusive chase-cards which I may need to complete a set.

Nice case RP01! I can't believe you fluked no-repeat auto cards and what you did get was a really nice selection. And some very good props to top it off, one of the best cases I've heard of.

Hey thanks "X". I am pretty pleased with the autographs. Actually I hadn't really looked into the relic cards to see their scaricty/value. Seems I didn't do too badly on the relic front either. How's your collection coming along?

I finally found time to open my second box. I've had it for around a week now and boy was it worth the wait.

Box 3372
No base set (a few short)
DL 3,6,7
Q 2,4
BE21
BG48
RC12 Tarot Card from Live and Let Die (limited)
A32 Ursula Andress (very limited)

After looking at the Tarot card, I noticed that on the left side it had some peeling I will have to send it back to RA for a replacement. Also a few of the base cards and inserts were damaged too. Should I email them first, or just go ahead and send them in to the RA costomer service address?

Like I mentioned I didn't get a base set from the box, but did complete one from two boxes.

I would love to get a few more boxes but this product is getting a little hard to find now on ebay.

I couldn't be more happier with the box

Great box DVF! I had the same combo from the last box in my case...needless to say that it saved me.

It's always a good idea to email us (custrelations@scifihobby.com) first. There are other requirements needed from the collector in order to process the request and we usually will set up a file pending to help expedite matters once we receive in the damaged cards.

Hey guys and girls well after waiting what seemed like a decade my box finally arrived today and I was genuinely impressed. The base set reminds me of the old vintage bond sets looks cool. This is what I pulled.

Box 5379

Auto Card: A78 Caterina Murino (limited)
Relic Card: RC05 Circus Program bit that says *****'s Circus (made me laugh)
Base set complete but missing 3 cards
Expansion set: BA19, BV0021
Quotable set: Q1, Q3
Dangerous Liasons: DL1, DL4, DL5

Overall I was well pleased but need someone to help me get the last 3 base cards I am missing numbers 105, 157 and 170. Now to track down the autos and relics a long journey ahead.

...

nice variant

Got 2 boxes on Saturday.

Box1:
RC15 - Bomb Grenade Sack (The Living Daylights)
A58 - John Bowe as Colonel Feyador (Limited) The Living Daylights
BG48 - Caterina Murino as Solange (Bond Girls Are Forever)

Box2:
RC5 - Circus Program (Octopussy)
A56 - Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp (Very Limited) GoldenEye (2 parts of the F from Famke signature comes off the card )
BG47 - Eva Green as Vesper Lynd (Bond Girls Are Forever)

total other chases:
1x BE0021 - Bond Tech: (40th ann. style)
2x Q6
2x Q2
2x DL9 - Solange
2x DL4 - Le Chiffre
2x DL1 - Mollaka


The autos I was really hoping for were:
A53 - Kristina Wayborn as Magda (Very Limited) Octopussy
A78 - Caterina Murino as Solange (Limited) Casino Royal

this is by far... ... ... my favourite Bond base set.
Sharp looking portrait shots in a full bleed-esque style card.

shame there wasn't any foiled chase cards or full bleed styled autos.

I have now completed the Goldeneye Bond Girls autos, my 1 box of Alias Season 4's Izabella Scorupco with Complete Bond's Famke Janssen


I wonder if there is gonna be a Complete Bond 2/update as not all the characters featured on this set, whether they were minor or main (like e.g. Q or R...).

Good pull on the Janssen seegriffin!
Sure the 'F' goes of the card but I wouldn't worry about it, I've seen loads like that.

If it was an issue (I know some collectors are really specific about that sort of thing) you could always sell A56 and buy A53 & A78 plus a hell of a lot of other autos as well for that matter!

Thought I would try my luck on another box to see if I could fill in a gap from our sealed case we opened a few weeks back.

RC9 Zorin Industries Patch (have 2 already)
AUTO - Judi Dench (Yes!! I needed that one)

Thanks for the helpful info X .
Didn't know Janssen was a popular sought after auto , not bad for my 1st 2 official Bond box pulled autos I guess .

Inkworks Tomorrow Never Dies being my 1st Bond box, I wonder how I'd do on a box of 'Dangerous Liasons' & 'Women of James Bond in Motion' which I'm still chasing

Bought 8 packs of a open box; got:
Bank cheque relic from Die Another Day and
John Rhys-Davies auto (very limited)
