I've been watching some auctions on eBay and have always wanted some of the Bond cards... have been a Bond fan since I can remember, and of course I have all the movies. Anyways, came across decently priced boxes on Dave & Adams website, so thought I'd give them a shot!
The quality of cards that Rittenhouse puts out is awesome... the collation almost as awesome! There are 40 packs in each box, 5 cards in each pack. So, 200 cards (give or take - I believe the remove one card in each pack that has a movie-used memorabilia card). The box promises one auto card and one movie-used memorabilia card, along with periodic insert cards. The base set is 189 cards (21 movies x 9 cards for each movie). The COOLEST thing about this card set is that the 9 cards in each movie have the original movie poster printed on the back of the 9 cards, so in a binder you can see the poster! Very smart idea...
So... in my first box, I got 4 duplicates... yes, I said FOUR duplicates! I also received the Sebastien Foucan auto (Casino Royale dude that jumps up a construction skyscraper!), the movie-used Tarot Card from Live & Let Die and a bunch of other insert cards. I believe I'm only 2 cards away from the full base set from ONE box! Very nice in my opinion.
In the second box, I got 3 duplicates....
... unreal! I also received the Timothy Moxon auto (Dr. No), the movie-used Bond Medical Report from The World is Not Enough and another bunch of insert cards, including the very cool die-cut refractor card of Vesper Lynd (omg... drooooooool Eva Green!). Again, I believe I only need 1 or 2 base cards for the set! Pictures below.
I'm totally impressed with this product and it's causing me issues as I love my hockey, but with this sort of collation, quality and great inserts, for the money, I may start leaning to other Rittenhouse products now. Overall, the movie-used pieces were great, the autos were a little disappointing, but as a set-builder this product receives a very enthusiastic 4.75/5 HI FIVES!
