Not trying to go off topic  but I have shopped there a few times.

Wolfgang is recommended.

Wolfgang is recommended. 
 

Absolutely.  And he has great great posters

[Zorba]

He told me how crappy this one was before I bought it. He was right. Great guy to deal with I have found. 

[Mirosae]

Clearly you've got some good "bikinis" there..

This again only for those of very special and unique disposition, and further to more info coming in about the Bond US lobby cards, these images showing the two different sets for From Russia with Love.

The two sets are differentiated by the hues - some people call them purple and rose.  I think one is more b/w and the other red tinted.

Also, the numbers for the first five cards are juxtaposed.

I could do with replacement Helicopter chase cards (#2 and 3) for both sets as they have pinholes and tape marks.  I am also missing cards 7 and 8 on b/w set.  All the cards in these cards are in good flat condition.  The backing was a bed, hence the waveform.

This 'service' will stop as soon as people have had enough...

Your contributions to this forum -- especially this thread -- are more than a 'service.'
They are a meticulous accounting of memorabilia unlike anything I have seen anywhere else on the internet.
Your expertise on all things Bond is always welcome.
Keep bringing it on.
 


Now, send me one of those Daniela Bianchi cards.  You have too many. 

[Crazy Vick]

these have to be the worse Bond posters ever

[Simes]

And further to further information surfacing about the OHMSS lobby cards, herewith some further servicing.

(I know fellas, sometimes I wear myself out too)

Two differing sets, unique only by the presence, or lack thereof, of the Soundtrack information.  Seems this era had a couple of hiccups as to whether to include Soundtrack info or not as the same can be seen with differing versions of the Diamonds are Forever UK quad.  And clearly this was not confined only to one side of the pond either.

Anyway, herewith.  I am looking also for a mint condition card #7 with Soundtrack info, and a mint complete set withOUT soundtrack info.  (If anyone is a/ reading this and b/ can help out.)

[Crazy Vick]

I stand corrected - THIS has to be the worse bond poster ever.  He looks like my uncle.

You mean..Timothy Dalton?

[Crazy Vick]

Yes!  I'll have to dig up a picture. 
For the record, my uncle would be the worst James Bond ever...unless James Bond goes into cool stealth mode after 2pm - which is about the tmie my uncle wakes up every day.

HAHA that made me laugh.  If he has a hairy chest then he might be the perfect Bond.

[Sunsanvil]

Greetings all.  New to the forum.  New to the whole poster scene.  I count myself a Bond fan so I thought I'd check in here.

I'd love to bounce some Bond specific questions off of the connoisseurs if anyone is willing it put up with a noob.  

[Simes]

Go for it.

[Sunsanvil]

As of what movie would we find both rolled and folded US 1-sheets?  Assuming otherwise identical condition, which is more valuable?

Is the market simply flooded with Moonraker US 1-sheets, or is it the most faked poster in history?  They seem to be for sale everywhere.

Has anyone ever definitively answered the question as to the nature of the R80 posters?  I've read the article which asserts almost all of them were made from a photo of an original (which in my mind makes them something of an "authorized repo", the exception perhaps being Goldfinger), while others have told me no, they were definitely a quality print run in their own right.

1.  From the 70's, US 1 sheets were rolled.  Not all, but a share of them.  For my part, I only have rolled US 1 Sheets from Eyes Only.  Again for my part, I only have rolled US 1 sheets from GoldenEye.

2.  I don't believe Moonraker has been faked.  It was simply a huge movie for which there was a huge print run of each version.  So yes, the market is full of 'em.

3.  The 80's Festival run was a 'restrike' run.  The photo element being correct.  The Goldfinger exception alo being correct.  In terms of the venerable term, 'original', for my part I take them as original, but with their own history and respective lesser value.  These are not knock offs, or reprints, or licenced commercial posters.  They were intended for the cinema.

Hope that helps.

[Sunsanvil]

Thanks!

Follow up question, are there any to be extra cautious of in this context?  I mean, I'm not going after an original fine condition Thunderball any time soon (), but has there been any notorious dupes in the Bond poster world?

[Simes]

Not to my knowledge.

Completely irreverently, there are reports of some FYEO fake lobby cards.  Although why anyone would go to the expense of faking something readily available is unknown.

The one caveat to the first sentence is to not buy anything from ebay seller Bradburied.  He is purported to sell fakes across the board, but are easy to see.

Cheers.

Steer clear of stuff with the wrong measurements (under-sized quads especially) and you should be ok for the most part.  I'm not aware of any full size repros of US material.  That said, I think Paul mentioned there could be a bootleg Goldfinger that measures 30x40...

[wonka]

A good way to get your feet wet is post some specific examples of ones you are not sure about, and await the appropriate feedback from folks here.

On Bonds, most repros are listed as such. Be very careful of 007 paper that is listed as original release but are really part of the infamous 80s reissues. (Usually indicated by title in block letters in lower right, surrounded by quotes, however LALD and DAF do not have this indicator...those a tad more tricky).

Again, you will get the help you need around here for sure.

And Thunderball, and one of the you only live twice Quads, though all 3 of these should measure 31"x41" if original.

Really? Are those exact measurements or precise?
Didn't know this.

[Harry Caul]

I thought I heard there were two printings of the YOLT posters -- 30x40 and 31x41 (with the latter being more common).
