As some of you may recall, I started a Bond quad collection a while back. Well, since then I've actually picked up quite a few... pretty much all the Craigs, Brosnans, Daltons, most of the Moores, and the sole Lazenby. I'm still missing a lot of the obscure ones (some of the Park Circus, Spend an Evening with Bond, etc...), not to mention the really rare ones that Adam posted (Mookraker Seiko, SWLM calendar advance, etc...). However, overall I felt like I was doing pretty well... except for those damn Connerys. I did track down the NSNA and DAF quads, but I'm talking about his first round -- the heavyweights. I figured it would be a long time before I decided to plunk down enough cash to own any of those...
But... as luck would have it, I recently found someone looking to sell some of their long time Bond collection. Hidden among the lot was this little gem. IMO, one of the most beautiful of Bond posters! And, y'all know me by now -- I got it for a very favorable price
It is a bit rough around the edges and has a bunch of tape on the back that I'll need to remove. However, not surprisingly I'm ecstatic that I was able to find one at all, let alone an unbacked copy... nearly every one I've seen at auction has been linen backed.
This hobby continues to amaze me... and patience is definitely the key. While I've always wanted this poster, I never even took it seriously. Then after a chance encounter and short delay from overseas shipping, the new crown jewel of my collection -- not just my Bond collection, but my whole poster collection! -- is happily hanging on my wall
P.S. Sorry for the shitty pictures, my computer is on the fritz and these were taken with my phone.
P.P.S. I still want one of course, but suck it Park Circus re-release quad!!!
