Straight
after the release of the two expansion card sets, Rittenhouse Archives
Ltd. issues for the second time a commemorative set. This time two
movies are involved, “From Russia With Love” and “Goldfinger”.
These two smashing card sets are a continuation of the first “Dr.
No” commemorative set issued in 2002. Each card depicts a black
& white still of the leading actors and actresses printed on a
silver satin, with liquid foil card. For each movie they manufactured
nine cards depicting black and white stills that were never released
before on trading cards. The card design is equal to the previous
“Dr. No” set, now including pictures from James Bond,
Kerim Bey, the gorgeous Tatiana Romanova, the evil Rosa Klebb, the
dangerous Red Grant and many more. These two James Bond movies are
real classics from the films series. Every James Bond connoisseur
will appreciate these two metal foil card sets. It’s unknown
how many sets they produced. “Shocking…. Positively shocking”.
The cards do pop up from time to time on eBay at a reasonable price.

Each nine card set was separately shrink wrapped in a transparent wrapper. Sometimes simplicity does it.
