Jason00If Crypto manages to get Timothy Dalton and Eva Green but Rittenhouse hasn't managed to get them to sign for Bond, it would be a real coup for them.

monkeyafterdarkEspecially after the cancelling of several releases in the past month...
Let's wait and see what they do with this set.
More importantly, let's see if they can get it out there in less than a year.

Can you imagine?!?
I don't think its total impossibility, I think stars like Dalton might be more inclined to participate in a set like this because it means promoting current work rather than 'pigeon-holing' himself with Bond, even though he is very proud of his time in the role.
As for Eva, by all accounts she is fantastic at signing through the mail and I'm really surprised she turned Rittenhouse down. Still, she may be more open to signing for fans than a company, but given she is very autograph friendly I hold out hope she will one day sign cards for the Bond role that launched her international career.

damienindeed they may be willing to sign to promote the show

Dexterfan18I would LOVE to see a Dalton auto. Big fan of his time as Bond. That would be an amazing score.
I'd be surprised if Hartnett signed. He's not big on fame/autographs, so I'm skeptical if he'll participate.

CurlerI am very curious about what the final autograph list will look like for this set.

Scifi CardsWill have to give this show a look. I hadn't heard of it before this...

RavenIt's also out in DVD. The trailer looks promising, but I will have to see a whole episode before I know if I would watch it. Sometimes these shows have a great idea and then run it too excess in trying to be shocking. I gave up on the American Horror stories for that reason. There are no rules and frequently no good characters, just a senseless plot that looks like it is being made up as they go along.

Besides Bond, Dalton is in a couple of my favorite movies: The Rocketeer and Flash Gordon. I'd like his autograph for those alone!

I don't know about the Netflix menu in the US, but here in Belgium it can be found right there.

RavenSo I did watch it on DVD and this is a really weird show. I am sure it will not be to everyone's taste and there were times when I couldn't figure out why I was watching, except that it is kind of additive in a not good for you way.

As far as a card set goes, I would love the autographs if they could get most of the main cast. I don't see how they could put all the story and all the characters into a card text that would make any sense. Heck, I'm not sure how much sense the whole show makes as it is.
But if a cross between American Horror Story, classic monsters, Old England, sex and violence sounds interesting, than you might want to give it a shot.

My thoughts exactly.
Anyone remember what new license they announced at the Fall Philly show?

damienso far so good

monkeyafterdarkAaaahh!! No! No! No!
Why are these cards so well-designed? I was going to skip this release (probably in favour of some funds for a new American Horror Story series), but now I feel compelled to order some dreadful boxes. Sadly, not for a penny.
