I received a fantastic birthday gift from my wife yesterday, and I don't think she really understands how big a deal it is. She found a complete set of the 1965 James Bond Philadelphia cards! The cards are in excellent condition, stored in the heavy-duty sleeves and then placed into 9-pocket pages. Given the prices on this set, I don't know that I would have ever considered pursuing it, even though I a huge Bond fan. She knows how much I like the Bond cards, and she thought these were cool since they were made the year I was born. I was completely blown away by this incredible gift.

A huge THANK YOU to my lovely wife !!

What a lucky guy..congrats!

she sounds very nice your wife, does she realise that it is my birthday soon?

Cool set and cool wife too. That's a really thoughtful gesture.

I like the old cards because they're a snapshot of when Bondmania first kicked off.

Very cool.

Very nice! A few pictures if you please?

Nice present... CongratZ!

Yrs ago, I found the Philly Gum Sales Poster for that 007 set but I need to remember where I put it. It looks alot like both the wrapper and the vending rack pack header.

I would post some pics, if I knew how. Can someone give me some directions on how to do this? Warning--I am not very computer literate on this stuff sometimes, so make it very simple....

I picked up this set, 1 card at a time, along with the 1966 Thunderball, back in the 1990s. My cards are far from being mint !

It took me forever to find the decoder that came 1 per pack, had to open a sealed pack to get one !!
