Noted, I posted that direct from my source listed message, didn't think I needed to check for wrong movie mistakes. | |||

If the Connery card is in an Archive Box 1 per 18 cases, how many do you think there will be ? How many cases are in a typical Bond set ? | |||
|
Silver Card Talk Member![]() |
The last release was 4000 boxes, so expect ~18 Archive boxes. | |||
|
Gold Card Talk Member |
12 boxes in a case, so you have to buy 216 boxes to get the Archive Box | |||
|

Darn it, I can only afford 215 boxes! | |||

I think all the collectors and most dealers would have wanted the 'Connery cut' to be hidden in the packs rather than an Archive box exclusive. | |||

I think the likes of Sam Smith, Adele, McCartney and Madonna are out of reach of Rittenhouse, but I wonder if they have approached Tom Jones who sang 'Thunderball'. | |||

Connery autographs seem to be mainly on photographs from Bond films and vary quite dramatically in price. Collecting one of those would be a helluva lot cheaper. ____________________ | |||

Connery started off having good relations with the film producers, but by his fourth Bond movie, things started to deteriorate. Apparently, he's still bitter over the fact that during his 6 years as Bond (1962-1967 and 1971), in his view, the producers made hundreds of millions off of him and he didn't get his cut of it. Again, that's his side of the story

As Raven inferred earlier, there are a huge amount of fake Connery autographs out there. | |||

Only inferred? I must do better. ![]() The reason why I collect certified autograph cards is because there is the assurance, either from the card manufacturer or the signer depending on the wording, that the signature is authentic. I know, even that is not 100%, but it is as good as it gets. Otherwise you can always be paranoid and not trust or buy anything not signed in person, in front of you. You won't have a large collection though. ![]() Simply put, some celebrity autographs should be avoided unless you think you have enough proof to take the risk. Signed 8x10 photos are the instrument of choice for celebrity fakes. The bigger the celebrity, the higher the demand, the smaller the supply, the more likely you will have a forgery or pre-printed autograph. The asking price does not matter. Many are sold cheaply, but expensive ones can be just as fake. Pre-prints and facsimiles are taken from genuine autographs, so they look good in photos. Same thing with autopens, only comparison to other examples reveals that they are the EXACT same signature. No handwritten autograph is exactly the same. We started discussing the Connery cut card. It is up to RA to authentic the source of the cuts they are using. He is one of those celebrities that fall into the danger zone of having more fakes out there than real signatures due to his personal habits that make for a shorter supply/higher demand combination that results in higher prices. Any celebrity signature that can realize higher prices is a target for bad autographs, especially on display sized photos. | |||

I would tend to think that most Connery autos on photos of Bond are fake. He's pretty much distanced himself from 007 for the past 40 years. I can't see him willingly signing Bond photos, unless they were signed by him back in the 1960s before he soured on Bond. Maybe I am wrong | |||

Reportedly one day in the mid to late 1990s, Sean Connery ran into Pierce Brosnan in a parking lot (this, according to Pierce) and Sean simply said "I hope that they are paying you alot", referring to the Bond film producers | |||

Recently cut signatures were embedded in Historic Autographs Celebrity II series. Most of the ones I saw were cuts from his book "Being a Scot" I actually picked up one these signed books direct from the publisher when they first came out several years ago. I plan to use the signature in a Diamonds Are Forever autograph display since I recently picked up a Charles Gray cut signature card from the Historic Autographs Celebrity III series.This message has been edited.

I was looking for a checklist on a past Bond set and while at the menu, I read the text describing this "Final Edition"...
This sounds much more encouraging that this is simply the final "Archives" set, not the final Bond set altogether. Still strange that Steve has avoided answering the question on the message boards. But I'm a little more encouraged by the wording here. | |||

Checklist is up, there are 56 autographs, which includes 29 firsts on Full Bleed, nice ![]() only problem, with so many, it does look like they are wrapping up the product, but hope I am wrong. | |||
