On
the 5th October 1962 the first James Bond movie “Dr. No”
hits the big screen at the London Pavillion. It was the start of the
double ooh seven phenomenon, the fictional character and number created
by Ian Fleming has spawned twenty four different James Bond movies
by 2008, two of them are classed as, not official, meaning they were
not produced by EON Productions. In 2002, Rittenhouse Archives Ltd.
was proud to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the first official
James Bond movie “Dr. No” by issuing a very special trading
card set containing only eighteen cards. The first card shows the
original poster artwork in black & white and the 40th Anniversary
logo. Each of the other cards depicts a black & white picture
of the leading actors and actresses printed on a silver satin, with
liquid foil card. The 18 cards feature all of the major characters,
including, James Bond, Honey Ryder, Dr. No, Sylvia Trench, Felix Leiter,
Professor Dent, M, Quarrel, Miss Taro, Strangways and Miss Moneypenny.
On each card the main picture is surrounded by circular stills from
the movie. A must have for every serious James Bond fan.

Sadly
the cards were only available for a very limited period, they were
packed in a simple transparent wrapper similar to the packaging of
the "40th Anniversary Preview Set". This tiny set frequently
pops-up on eBay with a reasonable price tag.
