I recently bought the two "James Bond Film Festival" posters from 1975 and 1976. Does anyone have any information about these festivals? Were they world-wide?
-
I do like the Bond stuff, I have all bar 6 of the U.K. bond quads, though two I fear, I may never get to own as the prices are now too much. Here are three that come to hand.

Speaking of eBay deals....
What about this special French 2-panel (http://cgi.ebay.com/007-HER-MAJESTYS-SECRET-SERVICE-french-2-panels-POSTER_W0QQitemZ290394549750QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item439cdd2df6) (stacked, not side-by-side) for On Her Majesty's Secret Service in supposedly excellent condition... it only went for $88 two weeks ago on eBay!
Flash forward to this week, and the seller sold another one for $56. Madness! Didn't these used to sell on Heritage for like $500-$1000 only a few years ago? I love this poster, by the way... I mean, how f#@king classic is that image. Do Do Dooo, just hanging out on the slopes with my scotch and my pistol and a smug-ass grin.
I just wish I had somewhere to display it! Even the 10' ceilings in my old Victorian house can't accommodate it!

#$%#! I'm adding the "scan international auctions" to the weekly task list -they're obviously getting less attention than the US originals.
-
Mel, I've seen your apartment in the pictures you post... I hate to break it to you but your ceilings are tall enough either ;)
Seriously though, I think the poster market is at rock bottom right now. The 70s re-release French Humungousauruses (French Humungousauri... what would plural be T?) for Bonds like Dr. No, Goldfinger, Thunderball, etc... have all been going for ~$100 lately, if not less. A far cry from two years ago when even the re-releases were fetching $500.
-
Well, before we all sing the praises of eBay bond deals... some cautionary notes are in order. Whoever the winner of this auction is is going to be very upset someday when they discover they bought a reprint:
Undersized Rolled Thunderball Quad (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110492947456&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT)... going for $312 and counting!
(http://i.ebayimg.com/12/!Bls5jow!mk~$(KGrHqYH-EQEtu!hW!pMBLcvCcIu9w~~_12.JPG)
The dimensions didn't go up until after the first few bids had been placed. They are only 26 3/4" x 38 3/4". Also, after comparing it to every other example on Heritage and eMovieposter, the borders are much different than then originals. This eBay poster has way too much white border below the bottom credits. I know people often try to pass off reprinted, undersized quads as originals that had been "trimmed" to fit better in frames (my ass). I don't know how they would explain this one which has MORE white border at the bottom than the originals!
Here is an an original from Bruce for comparison:
(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA080610/british_quad_thunderball_PA01798_L.jpg)
-
I checked in with the buyer on this one too -- she was clueless rather than dishonest. Apart from the undersize measurements, the paper looks a little too glossy/reflective to be 60s vintage.
-
Did you tell her it wasn't an original? I wonder if she would take down the listing or just let it ride? So many of them do....
There is also a Some Like it Hot Belgian poster for sale on eBay right now. It is a mint reprint (with "Printed in Belgium" in English at the bottom). I told the seller it was a reproduction, but they haven't removed the listing yet...
What's their slogan... "What ever it is, you can get it on eBay." True indeed.

Wow Gret Bond Posters guys!
Sean Connery is my Favorite Bond !! Roger Moore is probaly my second favorite!...Man Love the Bond posters !!
-
I thought that Roger Moore was a totally pathetic excuse for a spy and after seeing a couple Bonds with him, I couldn't stomach anymore.. He's the man who made me stop seeing Bond (and I had all the Sean Connery Bond toys.. I wanted to be Bond)!! Moonraker, while having cool posters, I think is one of the worst movies of all time
-
Blasphemy, Rich.
Moonraker kicks ass, you just have to watch it in a different frame of mind than you would FRWL, for example.
Holly Goodhead 4 life!

Ha, then I bet you stay away from the theater now in general then. Avoid anything by Tim Burton if Moonraker rubs you the wrong way.

I don't go as much as I used too, mostly for time & because all I want to do is bash people yakking on their cell phones.. But I but plenty of DVD..
as to Bond, I think Casino Royale & Quantum of Solace were remarkably well done & Daniel Craig turned out to be a better Bond than I was expecting
I loved the "everyone is going to know you died scratching my balls" line..
-
No, but that is a cool poster.
I have the Italian quattro though, the one with the red background. No ladies :-(
-
Just won a You Only Live Twice Style C on Ebay for $362 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300412909213), a good bit cheaper than it's sold for on Emovie/Heritage (in the $600-$900 range).
It doesn't look in perfect shape, but it looks pretty displayable. If not, I'm sending it back per the 14 day money back guarantee.
Anybody else have this poster?
I've got the quad version of this, i'm hoping to put it up at some point.
-
Good catch Mel. I watched this one go down in real time. That seller had some great posters tonight. I won one of the 2001 Star child posters from him a few minutes later. Yours is my favorite Bond poster. It looks in great shape for the price. He also sold two Josey Wales and two Le Mans for just under $200 each.
I have no idea why that seller listed duplicates of the posters and still more yet.. probably another one of those drop-off places that sells your stuff.
Brude.. which 2001 lot did you win (how much.. I was underbidder on one or two.. bastich!!)
-
Hey, Rich. I got the third 1970 one for $22. The first two went for $34-36 I believe.
I too was surprised to see so many duplicates (and triplicates) at auction at the same time by the same seller. I think he also sold 3 Soylent Greens and 2 Diamonds Are Forever.
Mel did get the pick of the litter.
-
I do have the Quad for the style "C" You only live twice poster, if you look on the first page of this thread.

No, but that is a cool poster.

Very nice, Schan. The B2 size of that is actually available on Ebay.
Interesting that MGM now owns Never Say Never Again, so it's part of the official Bond family now.
I'm still waiting for this B1 to pop up again (that bastitch Holiday got the last one):

Sergmark just gave me a peek at another version of this title that he just acquired from our friend in Pakistan, Moin.
It's very cool and he should be posting it this weekend, right Steve?

Just shelled out $1,020 (including 20% commission) for these 5 Bond posters in the just-completed Live Auctioneers/Gene Andrewski auction (http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7221864).
I was hoping to get a better price but I think I did OK on it. The first three are worth $300-$500 each and the last two are worth roughly $50 each.

Did MGM or NSS reprint the Roger Moore posters?
I just bought this 27x41 Moonraker "reprint" on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/James-Bond-Moonraker-reprint-teaser-movie-poster-/270589783245) that the seller claims MGM re-printed. The seller (tubulehr (http://myworld.ebay.com/tubulehr/)) is selling his entire Bond collection and has sold several of these "reprints" in the last couple of weeks. See the completed listings (http://completed.shop.ebay.com/tubulehr/m.html?rt=nc&LH_Complete=1&_fln=1&_ipg=&_trksid=p3911.c0.m283&_rdc=1) here.
I think the seller is confused and that these are NSS reprints (assuming at this point that they're not cheesy digital reproductions). I have a rolled "View To A Kill" poster that is an NSS reprint.
Thoughts? Info?
-
Nice. Now, imagine if this poster's title was "Live and Let Die"? How much would it go for?
-
Does anybody own the Man With The Golden Gun "Scaramanga" poster? I'm thinking about making it my next major purchase. Is it worth the big bucks?

I don't own it, but I've always wanted to.
You should pick up Dave's rolled copy! :o
-

$5,000 is a lot just for a rolled poster. You can pick up a decent folded one for $700 and have it linen-backed (ahh, horrors!) for a couple more Franklins. 'Bout the same IMHO.
-
Personally, I wouldn't spend more than $500 for it, rolled or folded. If you really want it, then spend $700 and enjoy your poster. Like you said, you can linenback it for $150 and it will look as good as new. Or you can keep it folded and enjoy its cachet.

We're coming up on 50 years of James Bond, so I put together virtually every James Bond English language theater one sheet (not any other size) I could find - including some obscure ones - and put them on a poster in chronological order. They probably will issue some sort of official 50th anniversary poster but it won't include many of these. The image coming from Pbucket is a little blurry but the attached image is clearer. I have a full-blown 300dpi 27x41 I'm going to print out eventually:

Mel, you are a man possessed. Nice job, dude!

nice job Mel!
Adz could do a similarly spectacular one with all the posters in his collection....

Mel, you are a man possessed. Nice job, dude!
Yes one of these days I will escape from poster world! I've been threatening to take a surf school vacation in Costa Rica, which may kick me back into the real world :)

Nice one!

Mel, in all honesty, that sounds better than any poster collecting bullshit. You should already be there.

Better get doin' some squats too. I did my fair share in Okinawa, and I always found the toll on the quads the most taxing aspect.
-
What's the deal Mel? Any true bond collector knows there are two Goldfinger 1-sheets... a glossy and a matte! ;D
Nice job by the way. What percentage of those listed do you own now?

Harry, thanks for the info! I only had space for 81 posters, so I didn't use minor variants. It's mostly to show the evolution of Bond posters over time.
-
Well said and said well, Thierry. Of course, that wisdom is coming from the guy with "4,800 posters and counting"! :)
It's gonna happen in the next three months. Surfing is extremely physically demanding. I'm getting back in peak swimming shape for it - yesterday swam 1 mile in 29 minutes, so I'm almost ready.
Good for you. I can run (13 marathons and counting ;)), but I can't swim for shit (which is kinda sad since I live in Southern Cal). I almost drowned when I was 7, and I remember it as if it happened yesterday. My wife does Triathlons, and I'm in awe. So anyone who can swim a mile gets my admiration.
-
I love surfing too, haven't tried Costa Rica but i hear its cool.
I would recommend Lacanau, France and Freights/Silversands Barbados for a chilled out vibe too
The older you get the bigger the board you tend to ride... mine is 8ft 10" these days!
-
I like that, Mel!
Nice one!
By the way Adz, your excuses for hiding your collection - if it actually exists - are totally lame but your Bondposters.com website is pretty cool, although excessively commercialized.
-
oh Jesus! dont start that one again
yes its starting to look quite good but cant help noticing that most of the images are from 007 magazine rather than from the infamous Adz collection
-
I can't afford the original Goldfinger quad but I did land the next big thing today - the 2007 official re-release quad by Park Circus (it is a full 40x30 poster, not undersized). This is the seller's pic. It wasn't cheap, so I'm hoping it looks impressive in person:
-
Does anyone know the details about the UK re-release of Thunderball in 2000? LAMP (http://www.learnaboutmovieposters.com/posters/db/poster.asp?pid=2891) is the only site I've been able to find with a photo of artwork which AFAIK is unique compared to all the other T-ball posters. They have it listed as a 35th anniversary re-release. Other than that, though, I've been searching the interwebs all morning and can't find any other references to this poster. Nada. Does anyone have one of these? Or does anyone have an idea of what these might sell for? I don't think it is a Park Circus release as they weren't founded as a company until 2003...

(http://www.learnaboutmovieposters.com/newsite/movies/1960s/1965/reg/thunderball_35thAnn.jpeg)
I figure it must be rare as even Adz doesn't have it listed on his site ;) Here is the one I'm considering purchasing -- it is removable from the frame I'm told.
(http://a.imageshack.us/img525/56/tballquad.jpg)

Sorry to bump this so soon... But I need to give the seller an answer soon. Thanks!
-
This isn't for a re-release of the film.
It is just a celebration of the film with some artwork that was rejected for the marketing campaign. I think it was commissioned by a group called Spyguise, an ebay site dedicated to selling original and memorabilia.
So it is not 30x40 and it is an unofficial poster.
$50. It is a more explosive design than the UK quad artwork.
-
Thanks Simes! Adding "spyguise" to my search terms as helped considerably. This site dedicated to The Art of James Bond (http://illustrated007.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html) has some cool insights about the Thunderball variations... including some of the unused original drawings which are present in the spyguise poster. This one for instance:
(http://a.imageshack.us/img259/3012/lookdownalternative2.jpg)
They mention the poster in question as a "limited edition". Do you (or anyone) know what the print numbers were limited to? I have the option to buy this for $75 so I'm still not sure if I should go through with the purchase...
By the way, check out some of the other variations on the classic Thunderball artwork from that site... It would have been awesome if they used the original McGinnis drawing (1)! At least they brought back some of the cleavage for the Italian paper (3).

Yes, they definitely should have used that image. I'd get that commercial poster just for that image, if it's really 30x40.
By the way, I've heard that Park Circus is very vigilant about pulling Ebay postings for its re-release posters. Can anybody confirm that?
-
So I contacted Spyguise via eBay about the Thunderball poster... For future reference, this is what they had to say:
The Thunderball poster was licensed in 1993, I believe and 1500 prints were made, each individually numbered and selling for $50. Hope this helps
- osato
1500 seems like a lot of prints, but at $75 I still might go for it. I'm still curious about the year discrepancy though... LAMP had it listed as a 35th anniversary poster (i.e. 2000). Spyguise just said it was licensed in 1993... they said nothing about the print/distribution year.
P.S. Nice NSNA Mel... although, as you say, the other version has it's own appealing attributes. ;D
-
Yeah, '93 sounds about right. Not 2000.
-
So I contacted Spyguise via eBay about the Thunderball poster...
Is it a full 40x30?
-
Spyguise didn't mention a size, Simes said it is not 30x40, and I'm still waiting for confirmation from the seller...
TBD I guess.

James Bond Goldfinger & Dr. No combo poster - this combo design was better than many regular one-sheet JB posters - this one looks great framed (has significant edge damage).

Well, I gotta hand it to Mel. Mel is clearly very passionate about posters and doing what some of us only dream of doing... putting up quite a number of posters and even putting a compilation of posters together. Very well done. You seem like when you are determined to do something you stick to it. Good on ya!
Is the 2nd top left poster supposed to be mostly black? I am not so familiar with bond posters.

Wait til next month, Steve. I'm putting up ALL 50 James Bond posters on my walls next month. Eat your heart out, Adz!
That poster was a "special teaser" - they issued a new poster every couple of week revealing more of the poster. It's dog-ugly but it is a legit poster.
Harry, cut me a break, man! I gotz SEVEN freaking Goldfingers - I can live with the re-releases of the quad and one-sheet! I also can live with the 1980 re-release of Thunderball.

Are you sure that is how it played out? I've only ever seen the one you have and the full teaser... Are there other iterations?

Yeah, yeah... I predict that within 2 years (3 tops) you'll have a complete collection of all the original 1-sheets! Pretty soon the re-releases just won't cut it ;)
At least you haven't started collecting original quads yet... I have two now and I'm feeling the temptation for more! :o :o :o

I've seen a couple variations of the special teasers - wouldn't want to buy one though
The re-releases were pretty expensive ($75 - $125) so I'm not eager or likely to shell out $500+ more on each of the originals
-
You are a better researcher than that Mel! I've bought re-releases for $25. My T-Ball restored on linen was $250 and my VF+/NM Goldfinger (matte) was $350. Just gotta keep your eyes out for deals my friend...
Like I said, 2-3 years tops ;)

Well, Connery Bonds are my favorite... Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball. So yes, I think 'superior' pretty much goes without saying.
There is no need for a pissing contest though...
-
I'd say 1/3 quads clear victor (e.g. Dr. No, FRWL, Goldfinger, etc), 1/3 one sheets clear victor (most of the Roger Moores), and 1/3 tie (most of the later Bonds). However, the Goldfinger quads would have made excellent one sheets.
Tie example (horizonal art but quad did not take advantage of it, US has better lettering):

Well, even if you bring Moore into this, I think there are very view examples of the 1-sheets actually having better artwork. Bigger or slightly different framing doesn't really mean all that much to me.
1-sheets that I would consider with better artwork are TMWTGG style B, The Spy Who Loved Me (even this is more of a framing issue) and maybe Thunderball. However, if you look at which quads have clearly better artwork, I would say Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, For Your Eyes Only and Never Say Never Again... the first three of which are from probably the most important and desirable films.
-
All I'll say is For Bond stuff, Country of Origin is the way to go, and the comparison of the YOLT... come on there's less waste on the Quad.............Opps wasn't goint there. :-X
-

To me, the issue is whether the artwork takes advantage of the format. For all the YOLT one sheets and quads, the artwork takes up 40% of the poster, so it's a tie.
However, starting with OHMSS, almost all the artwork was designed in profile layout for one sheets. The quad designers lazily stuck the profile artwork into the landscape quads, with a few exceptions (FYEO, Never Say Never, Die Another Day).
-
Like I said, for Connery Bonds, there is really no debate...
-
I'd say the Live and Let Die and the Spy Who Loved Me are the most creative and "best" posters. I may go even more crazy and take a shot at the 6 sheet coming up at Heritage:

The LALD 1sht is too squashed in, it needs some space to breathe. The SWLM 1sht is Oh so 70's, I really like it. Though I must agree with Harry, the Connery Bonds are by far the best and the one's to have.

How presumptive of you two to challenge the owner of

How presumptive of you two to challenge...
I know your above post is in jest.... But don't forget you are the one who started this little battle by accusing me of succumbing to the 'crazy quad disease' for buying a View to a Kill quad instead of a 1-sheet. You are the one making assumptions and challenging other people's purchases my friend, I'm just standing my ground.
-
Like I said, for Connery Bonds, there is really no debate...
I have to agree with you Harry. I am a huge fan of the Connery Bonds. As for the others, I could really care less.

Is the yellow lettering version of the Dr. No that much more rare? Are they just different printings or is the yellow version something special (premier poster, etc...)?

And is this the "red helmet" OHMSS you were talking about? Looks like a couple sold at Christies some years back...
I have the French vertical 2-panel (same exact image minus the helmet) that I got for a song a while ago, but that one seems to be pretty common.

The one w/o helmet isnt that rare , its the helmet style.
Both those DN posters are extremely rare , yellow lettering is the 1st issue.
I own the 2nd issue , it did not come cheap (but I really wanted it......60s Bonds religion to me , lol)
I also collect DAF/LALD/TSWLM/MR/FYEO/AVTAK somewhat.

Just landed this fantastic rolled Man With The Golden Gun advance poster from Heritage tonight. (Strangely, it's much better quality than the copy being sold at the "signature" auction this week (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7029&Lot_No=84099)).

Here is one for Bond fans: Original Walther Pistol used for the FRWL poster campaign (http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectId=5374940)
Christie's auction estimate is $24-$33K... and it turns out it was an AIR PISTOL!

Just looking through my collection and noticed this Italian 4F:
(http://www.mysterycorp.com/temp/2105_ClubDiGang_1_full.jpg)
It is not actually advertising a Bond movie, but is a 1964 re-release poster for "No Road Back" 1957 with an originally lowly billed Sean Connery, now capitalising on Sean Connery's new found Bond fame for this re-release.
-
Wow, Steve...that is a great image.
It might be sacrilege to say this, but I prefer it to most of the Bond art that I have seen.
Very dramatic...very cool...now on my want list!

This information and $1.75 will buy you a cup of coffee this morning:

OK, here's some news. I finally got the Style B one sheet for On Her Majesty's Secret Service (a mint 1980 re-release) and I now consider my James Bond collection "sufficiently complete."
The UK/US stuff I don't have, I either can't afford (ex. FRWL quad), are minor variations of the stuff I do have (ex. Moonraker outer space babes) and/or don't really want or like (ex. YOLT Style B, AVTOAK white tuxedo, etc., most of the post-Moore Bond posters, etc.). I'm not going to replace the re-releases with originals or the one sheets with quads. So it's all optional from this point forward. If something pops up going cheap, I might grab it but I won't lose any sleep if I don't.
Of course, some of the non-UK/US posters are also exceptional, especially the Japanese, but I'm just not going to shell out for them.
What do you think? Should I be more ambitious or should I call it a day?

Well, of course, I'd like to have those. But for $42,000 (your price) I could buy a boat - and since boats are "girl magnets," I'd get the gals too!
BTW two of these auctioned for $3,800 yesterda (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7029&Lot_No=83311)y, so even the auction price is way beyond my interest/finances!

Dan no doubt has the best collection on this board (http://www.dlhcollections.com/html/james_bond.html). Adz may or may not have anything (see, am I not being diplomatic?). Harry has some great Connery originals but only collects Connerys. Thierry has some good stuff (http://eatbrie.com/Bond.html) but doesn't focus on it. Who else has a sizable Bond collection on this board? They should show their stuff!

I don't only collect Connerys... those are just my favorites. And I don't actually have all that many bonds. My two nicest are a NM Goldfinger 1-sheet (matte version) and an original Spanish Dr. No 1-sheet (that will need to be put on linen). I sold my original release Thunderball 1-sheet. Other than those I have quads for Diamonds are Forever and A View to a Kill, a Spy Who Loved Me 1-sheet, and I think a From Russia With Love 1-sheet 80s re-release.
I like to think that my Bond paper is respectable, but nothing too earth shattering for true 007 collectors...

I am one such 007 collector, although to mention lists without providing photographic proof may only serve to get me into hot water.
Suffice to say I have
120 main release quads and 1 sheets. (Don't have UK quads from the first four films)
22 double feature and festival quads
All but eight of the 443 Lobby cards for the series.
All the FOH UK cards
All (but the LALD) US still sets
All the UK Campaign books
All (but one double feature) US Pressbooks
All but two premiere brochures (Gf and Th)
...and God knows what else along the marketing material line like presskits etc.
Just looking for the odds and ends now.

Wow, Simes! How long has it taken you to acquire such a massive collection of JB material?

-
Over 140 Bond posters, that's impressive. I collect Bond as a side line, but have no where near that amount. Though I do have a couple of early one's to make up for it. ;)
-
That's a whole lotta oh-oh-seven stuff there, Simes. thumbup
I'm not a Bond collector but I would love to see some of your rarer pieces whenever you get to taking pics.
Do you collect from other films as well?
-
Note to self.
1.Convince Brude Brits dont do home security.
2.Distract Simes with something shiny.
3. Ensure Brudes escape raft has at least one paddle.

Yowza - you are the James Bond kingpin! How about some pics? I'd especially like to see some of the double features - didn't know there were so many.
-
To respond;
1. I guess I have been collecting properly for 25 years. Kinda saw Moonraker and then Eyes Only in '79 and '81 respectively and things took off verrry slowly from there.
2. I am happy to provide pics of specific requests if there is an interest. I will try to get some pics up of the double features.
3. I don't really collect from other films and I only go for the US and UK items, if only to provide focus and ensure this deal doesn't take over completely. As it is, everything is stored discreetly.
4. I have the first four films represented by US 1 sheets, but as below, I doubt I will be parting with roughly £20,000 for the six quads for the first four films.
Of everything, I prefer the lobby cards and have even written an article on same said, although it doesn't seem to have any obvious fit anywhere right now. As such, I just email it to those needing a checklist for this intra-niche area of lobbies

-
Very nice, Simes. Thanks for the pics to ogle. cheers
-
Very nice quads - haven't seen most of them - the landscape orientation is ideal for double features....
-
If the double features are your thing, I also have (that have not been photographed yet);
a Thunderball/You Only Live Twice quad,
a variation on the Diamonds/Russia quad that has the printing in the two blank spaces between the two poster 'boxes'. The top box saying 'AND', the bottom showing the United Artisits logo,
a Spend Sundays with Bond quad from Park Circus, similar in style to the A Seaon of Bond quad
the two US 1 Sheets for the Festival in '74
a poster for the '84 festival that didn't take place.
There is also a Goldfinger/Thunderball poster that I am looking for. (If anyone has any leads etc.)
As above, always happy to throw some pics up if there is any specific interest.
Cheers fellas.

By the way, who are the people that pay this kind of money for common posters? $1264 for a YOLT advance 1-sheet @ Christies (http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot_details.aspx?from=salesummary&intObjectID=5391824&sid=50b1bdbd-cc79-4966-863f-601deec530bd)
Bruce just sold one of these tonight for what I would consider a high, but fair price of $477. And I regularly see these in nice condition on eBay for about $300. Is it because Christies film poster sales are in England and they attract more Bond nuts? Are they fatcats who can't be bothered to look through past auction sales to see what a fair price is? Then again, Christie's is probably also partly to blame for putting up such a high an auction estimate of $622 - $933. The winner actually bid just over the high estimate... but then the 25% BP pushed it into the stratosphere. Craziness I tell you.

In part it's a pound vs. dollar thing. My sister moved to UK five years ago and says that even though the exchange rate is 1.5 dollars for one pound, everything that costs $1 in America costs 1 pound in UK. So the UK buyers perhaps don't really perceive 813 pounds as $1264, which seems extremely high for an auction price.
-
25% BP - Grief.
Wasn't aware the BPs were that high. Nuts.

Christies attract at least three other types of buyer in addition to regular film poster collectors - interior designers, rich individuals and impulse buyers - all of whom may either not know or not care how much they over-pay. They target the former with their Interiors magazine which often features film posters as a potentially cool wall decoration. Rich buyers have usually got better things to do than trawl the internet looking for savings which equate to loose change in their world....and the auction rooms, in an expensive residential area of London, are unintimidating. It is easy for people to wander in and browse. I remember one sale when a girl came in with her mother and pointed to a Jungle Book poster which she said she would love to have - within an hour the mother had won it along with another two Disney posters at vastly inflated prices - I heard her say "I hope Daddy won't mind!"

So right what Marks say's. I was at Christie's big Horror film poster auction back in 02 I think, and a Goldfinger Quad went for £3300+ commission. I was talking to one of the staff, saying mine was in better condition and could not believe how much it went for. He then told me the Guy on the phone bidding was Chris Evans, and he was having it no matter what.

All of them would be nice to see Simes. woohoo
Stew

Indeed. I sometimes think the same since they stay out of sunlight etc etc.
However, it is safe to say many of the above items are fairly well known images, they've been seen countless times. Just wondering if there is a common interest in one particular area or item that I can sort.
Cheers fella.

Simes there would seem to be great interest in the Goldfinger Subway poster,if you have one please post this as a start mate.

UK Synopsis
Congrats, Simes, very impressive collection. It's quite possible that YOU, sir, have the world's greatest Bond poster memorabilia collection.
I'm with Stew - love to see you show it off visually.
Strictly from that perspective, DLHCollections reigns supreme (http://www.dlhcollections.com/html/james_bond.html) now.
-
Personally, I would love to see pictures of your double/triple feature quads. I didn't realize that there were so many variations!
I just missed out on this one because the seller wouldn't ship to the US... and I'm not sure I would have paid that much anyway! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140502410650&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_354wt_65

Anyone know if a U.K. 4SHT for Octopussy is rare, or worth anything?
-
I will get the double feature images up tomorrow.

Anyone know if a U.K. 4SHT for Octopussy is rare, or worth anything?
Hi, Folks!
If you mean the 60" x 40" (sometimes referred to as 2-sheet, sometimes 4-sheet) we have two in stock at the moment, both in rolled but slightly battered condition - that's battered as in knocked about, not as in Mars Bars ...
(http://www.quadbod.co.uk/webimages/octopussy60x4010678ls.JPG)
... Stew will understand.
Best wishes,
Terry - www.quadbod.co.uk

Those Mars bars came down as far as here Terry. As did Marathon's, Crunchies, and Curlywurly's. None I'm keen on trying. puke2

Oh, is it too vulgar to ask here, how much are they Terry?

Hi, Paul!
They're on our list at £100 apiece.
Do I read between the lines that you have one - or have seen one elsewhere?
If you're thinking of coming to Chester Racecourse next month, you could come and give them a few more crumples!
Best wishes,
Terry - www.quadbod.co.uk
-
Hello Terry, Yes I do have one, Came across it while trying to sort out my French posters using Thirrey's de-coding a french poster thread.
I don't think I'll make Chester, but are saving for the March N.E.C. will hopefully see you and Sue there.
-

Thanks, I would love to see them!

In advance of tomorrow's upload, please find the image of the poster that is currently in my Wants list.
Please let me know if anyone (not interested in this genre) can point me in the right direction.
Cheers.

Cool poster. I think I've seen each side as a double crown, but never together like that.
-
Strictly from that perspective, DLHCollections reigns supreme (http://www.dlhcollections.com/html/james_bond.html) now.
Indeed, this chap does seem very organised. Must admit my web talents do not extend as far as sticking poster collections up on the 'net.
Should anyone be interested;
1. I haven't extended my collection as far as the US double feature 1 sheets.
2. This chap seems to have cornered the market in US/UK and International 1 sheets - he should look at the Mr Int 1 sheet with images in the space station 'wings', Eyes Int 1 sheet with complete red border, US teaser portrait Octopussy 1 sheet, the AVTAK withdrawn white tux art.
3. Then there are variants which will only be of interest to the complete nut - said with impunity as I am to be considered one of them.
a) Licence to Kill US advance spelt with an 'S' as opposed to 'C'.
b) GoldenEye coming soon Advance (as opposed to Christmas '95)
c) TWINE US 1 sheet has a version without the "Eon Productions presents" wording above the title - it is clear.
-
d) there are a couple of DAD posters, the gun on ice, the mid teaser and final US art.
e) Again DAD, this chap has the Campaign D artwork. There is also a very very similar Campaign C artwork. (I would love to know the reasoning behind the printing of these two near identical artworks)
f) Casino Royale Advance 1 sheet has a Coming Soon version, as opposed to the November date - but in this I am sure this is a common variant between US and International 1 Sheets
g) Casino Royale Character 1 sheets and various International styles. CR 1 sheets (UK, US, Int) number eight in total.
h) Quantum first teaser and International art with blue background.
I am sure all of this is more than perfectly known by the talents on these boards ...

Mel and Simes, thanks for the comments on my website. Regarding Simes's list of JB posters I don't have, I'm aware of all of them and they are on my want list. I've never claimed my collection is complete. In fact, I'm not sure it will ever be complete. Because once I've satisfied my current JB collection criteria, then all of a sudden it could change. Who knows, I may get the itch to expand to more foreign paper. Then it really could get out of control.
-
Hey fella.
Good to see you're monitoring this thread - good to see you're around.
Congrats on the recalled TND teaser 1 sheet with the foil 007. I haven't come across anyone else with this variant. Must say I do love the funkiness of this poster, the mylar gloss effect and of course the mirrored 007.
I have also never seen the Dr No/FRWL combo insert either - lovely.
Had you heard of the TWINE US 1 sheet variant? Not sure I have come across too many others who are aware of this either. Not sure if there is any info out there??
I must also say, looking at the rest of your site, you do have an incredible collection. Superb.
-

Actually, no I haven't, plus a few of the other variants you mention. But I've added them to my ever growing list of posters to look out for.
I must also say, looking at the rest of your site, you do have an incredible collection. Superb.
Thanks for the compliment.
Mel, that NSNA poster is very nice. It deserves to be shown daily.

The two FRWL / DAF quads differ slightly in that in between the two poster images, one has printing, and the other does not due to some printing anomaly. The word AND in the top box, the UA TransAmerica logo in the bottom one.
-
Also;
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/2292/p1000349gk.jpg)
A UK Marler Hayley set for Octopussy. Maybe not so well known outside of the UK, these were sets of posters made up of the actual quad, another quad sized poster and four other DC posters. They had their own display stand - two quads in the middle, top and bottom, the four DCs on the outside. They were used in just the Odeon chain.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7259/p1000350k.jpg)
The two DAD Int 1 sheets; campaign C and D. They are virtually identical.

Re-release posters for Dr No and FRWL in the 60s.
-
Those posters are fantastic Simon! I've never seen half of them.
It looks like your collection pre-dates computers. Are those pictures of pictures in an album? Old school... I love it!
-
Lol - yes, all pictures in an album. Figured easier than pulling them all out for individual photographing with a digital camera.
The collection started pre internet, but I prefer printed pics for ease of access, and also for when others want to peruse.
Hope this form of representation suffices for the moment.

And a weird Quantum, copyright theft, quad thrown in for good measure...
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/QOS08DS1SFACT.jpg)
-
Really like this double sided version with the uber shiny finish ('fraid it's not the 'Coming soon' version!).
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/GE95DS1SGOLDGUN.jpg)
Although the newer artwork for Bond posters pales into insignificance when compared to the older classics I still think this is an iconic design.
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/TWINE99DS1SSILHOUETTE.jpg)
And last but not least (although I nearly forgot it) is this atmospheric quad...
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/CR06DSUKQUADCRAIG.jpg)
-
Hi - not sure if you are a completist or not, (the QoS FACT poster would seem to suggest so.) but the CR quad is also available as a November 17 version instead of Coming Soon. This is replicated in the CR teaser 1 sheets.
-
I dig the Bond girl posters and the one with him near table 8)
-
Nice posters AP!
As a side, I just started collecting bond quads and I still need most of the Craigs. If anyone has a line on reasonably priced quads, please let me know. Most dealer are asking 50 pounds or more, which seems silly for such new, hugely-hyped films... It is not like they are rare!
-
Hey, I'll put a plug in for Adam/Bondposters.com.
The Vesper/Solange character posters shown above are very rare but he's selling them for 99 pounds for the set of three DS OS sheets. (http://www.moviememories.com/shopping/pgm-more_information.php?id=406&=SID#MOREINFO)
See how nice I am to Adam? Guess I'm not (almost) as bad as they say I am....
-
For Bond, I am more into the older stuff...
But I will say, the Vesper/Solange set is just fantastic and yes, very hard to find.
I am fortunate to own a set, it was not easy to get, to say the least.

And if anyone is looking for a copy of the foil effect 007 TND poster, one has just popped up on ebay.

I picked up mine for much less - $15 or so - a few months ago. Is it really rare? The foil is cool.
There are several on US Ebay for $25 or so, like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/TOMORROW-NEVER-DIES-97-1Sht-Poster-TEASER-JAMES-BOND-/370307792315
-
$15 for the mylar version and foil 007!! However you managed that, that was a superb result.
I would have said £80 might have been fairly well priced.
I look for odds and ends almost daily, these things never come up and as above, I know (knew) no one else with one - and this film came out in '97.
-
There are several on US Ebay for $25 or so, like this:
Sorry but that is not the original foil version. That one is the revised version. You can tell because the 007 has flat grey tone to it. If you compare it to mine, you can notice the difference.
(http://www.dlhcollections.com/assets/images/db_images/db_TomorrowNeverDiesAdv3.jpg)
-
Just to clarify the story on the foil. They originally used a foil type material so that it would have a metallic shimmer to it. But it was prone to catching fire in light boxes. So they recalled them and put out the common version with a flat grey paint instead of the foil.
-
I definitely have the shiny foil version and got it cheap, so I wouldn't pay 80 pounds for sure.
-
so I wouldn't pay 80 pounds for sure.
I don't blame you. I wouldn't either. It helped getting it when the movie was released.
-
Well this peaked my interest a bit about the foil versions for sale. I checked ebay and currently there isn't one real foil version listed. There's one that claims to be the foil version but it isn't. So Mel, if you find another real one for sale cheap, I'd be interested in checking it out.
-
Checked my records. Got it for $14 from Heritage's Ebay auctions (http://shop.ebay.com/heritagemovieposters/m.html) last year. Tough to photograph it but here it is:
(http://posternirvana.com/0DNE/Bond3.jpg)
Looks like there are several copies on US Ebay (http://entertainment-memorabilia.shop.ebay.com/Originals-United-States-/18829/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A1%257C66%253A4%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_nkw=tomorrow+never+dies&_dmd=2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_vc=1), at least one is foil (http://cgi.ebay.com/97-TOMORROW-NEVER-DIES-1-Sheet-Poster-W-FOIL-BROSNAN-/360233353472?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53df94c100#ht_993wt_876).
-
... and anyone who sells such a poster saying Jason Statham starred has got to be believed.
This quoting the link to 'least one is foil'.
I'd buy.
Not.
As for the rest, they all 'appear' to be flat versions devoid of mylar and foil.
-
You James Bond guys really know your stuff. I've don't know of any other genre that specific where several people know that much about all the different variants, releases, prices, etc., and share the information.
-
Yeah - we're not proud.

Simes, you're way way off the mark on this one. Kristell is a well-known and very reputable dealer. She was a regular contributor to MPF and I've bought several posters from her. No doubt whatsoever on that one.
2,858/100% positive feedback? Not a good one to question.....
-
Mel,
With all due respect to Kristell, there is no way the poster she has posted is the foil version. I'm not necessarily questioning Kristell's honesty because she may think it is the foil version. If she's never had a real one, she might not know the difference. I would be willing to bet money that it is the revised one. But I'm sure she is a completely honest seller otherwise.

Well, it never hurts to ask. Apparently some people around here are loaded, some people have inherited posters, etc. Anyway, it inspired me to finally spend some time - actually a lot of time - rounding up most of the major UK and Japanese Bond posters and putting them in a showcase here (http://moviepostercollectors.com/VLB-Showcases/James-Bond-UK-Japan/index.html). They look really cool together and many are clearly superior to the US versions.
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/BondUK.jpg) (http://moviepostercollectors.com/VLB-Showcases/James-Bond-UK-Japan/index.html)
I'm well aware I missed many but I only used posters for which I could find HQ images at least 900 pixels vertical/horizontal. Happy to add others meeting those qualifications.

I figure I would throw this up here. Here is a Jp B1 that I have had for some time for The World is Not Enough.

Just won a You Only Live Twice Style C on Ebay for $362 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300412909213), a good bit cheaper than it's sold for on Emovie/Heritage (in the $600-$900 range).
It doesn't look in perfect shape, but it looks pretty displayable. If not, I'm sending it back per the 14 day money back guarantee.
Anybody else have this poster?

Hi guys,
I finally have the set up sorted to be able to take decent images of posters up to the size of a US Subway, so with my promise of starting to photograph my posters and to upload more images to Bondposters.com AND this forum, here is the Goldfinger US Subway.
The image you see is 500px in width (which is what I use for the website).
(http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/450.jpg)
Hope this is OK with you all.

Just a quick note in reply to Zorba:
The Goldfinger US Subway poster is the first poster to be photographed with my new set-up, which I thought I'd try out before starting properly today or tomorrow, wherever you are based.
Thank you all for your kind comments; much appreciated.
Adam

Very nice Adam! The horizontal format of the subway poster beats the vertical three sheet by a country mile IMHO:

Hi guys,
I finally have the set up sorted to be able to take decent images of posters up to the size of a US Subway, so with my promise of starting to photograph my posters and to upload more images to Bondposters.com AND this forum, here is the Goldfinger US Subway.
The image you see is 500px in width (which is what I use for the website).

Hope this is OK with you all.
Cheers,
Adam
Awesome poster! Please photograph more of the rare stuff!

Pretty damn good! Will wait patiently for the show to really get going...pcorn < I love that little guy eating popcorn :)

Sounds like you are putting some effort into doing photos just right.
Here is a tip: your poster image is not so rectangular as all 4 edges are bowing quite a bit. Easy fix, you need to move further away from the poster. The closer you are, the more wide angle the lens has to be and thus the more fisheye effect there will be. Just move further back a bit further and compensate with a little more camera zoom... You might have to stand on a chair. Good luck with it.

Goldfinger quad Style B, used primarily in Ireland. Who's got it?
(http://posternirvana.com/0DNE/Goldfinger%20(1964%20Style%20B).jpg)
funny i was offered one of these yesterday, the guy found it under his carpet,, it was used as underlay along with old newspaper?

Did anyone else find it ironic that the first picture Adam posted was on the day after Groundhog day? :D
Seriously though, that Goldfinger subway is an awesome Bond poster. One of the nicest I've seen. Good to have you on board, Adam. sm1

Hi guys,
I know these strictly aren't movie posters, but here are a few exhibition posters from two different exhibitions that took place in Germany in 1998.
(http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/466.jpg)
GERMAN A2 'Top Secret' Autohaus Hermann Exhibition, 1998.

GERMAN A1 'The World of James Bond' Roemer und Pelizaeus Museum Exhibition, 1998.
(http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/464.jpg)
GERMAN A1 'The World of James Bond' Roemer und Pelizaeus Museum Exhibition (white), 1998.
Some of you from the UK may recognise this image from The Sunday Times Magazine cover a couple of years back.
I'm pretty sure this poster is from the same exhibition as the one above and the two below.

GERMAN A1 'The World of James Bond' Roemer und Pelizaeus Museum Exhibition (yellow), 1998.
Steve (50s) - thanks for the advice RE photography. Duly noted and implemented!
I photographed the Goldfinger Subway pretty quick just to make sure my set-up was actually going to work - the middle parts of the poster weren't held to the board via magnets (just the corners), so it wasn't flush with the wall ... I'll take another photo when I get to the folded gear.
Sorry for not posting more pics, but it takes ages taking them and then sorting them out for the website.
Thanks for the comments,
Adam

Very cool and different(for me anyway)posters Adam!!!
Keep on posting :)

(http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/464.jpg)
That is one hellacious poster!
Where can I get one, Adam?
-
Cheers, Zorba - I will, but it will be next Friday/Saturday before I photograph and upload more.
Brude - I don't know where to get one. It was in one of the collections offered to me: I knew something like it existed in some form because of the The Sunday Times cover (which I recall was edited a little due to the naked women on it) and I had searched high and low for one, but couldn't find any ... So I was fairly impressed when this particular one turned up. It is very nice in person - one of the best illustrated posters of Bond, even though it isn't an actual movie poster.
Thanks,
Adam
-
That one Brude mentioned is a stunner. The photographs look very good Adam. Good job. thumbup

Hey guys,
I need a little help.
I'm not entirely sure of the exact dates for some of the Double Bill posters, so would you be able to have a look to see what is right, and what is wrong?? A specific plea extends to Simes and the other Bond collectors ;D

It is shaping up to be the 1st stop for any Bond reference..

Thanks, Stew.
That means a lot.
As long as the site provides a decent reference point for collectors, that's sound for me :)

Two Japanese Bond posters I don't think have been posted here yet:

Anyone seen the Moore poster where hes posed like Connery (think TB or YOLT pose)....its weird cuz Moore was never posed like that in the art work besides that poster.
-
Thanks again for posting the Goldfinger Subway Adam. Do you have any more rare quads? I know there is a From Russia with Love teaser poster... Christies has sold it twice but both were in pretty poor shape.
-
I like both of those Armin. ALOT. They are sweet!

I would like to echo Stewart's sentiments and say its great to see your pictures !
Nice work Adam

I would love to help but to be frank, I don't have dates for any of the posters.
There were a couple of 007/Clint double bill features I have never seen before.
Very impressive.
-
Also didn't know there were fully three versions of the Style B Moonraker 1 sheet Advance...!
Also, on your site, a Moonraker six sheet is titled Live and Let Die. Ditto the Spy and Golden Gun sections.
Also, are the Diamonds DC posters from the Marler Hayley set?
-
Harry - I think all the FRWL advances that have been sold at auction have been in bad shape.
I don't have one, unfortunately! However, I know a guy who does own one!
I was pretty amazed when he said he had it!
Other rare quads ... I do have a Moonraker 'Seiko' quad. And the YOLT advance quad ... but I haven't got to those yet!
I reckon another 2-3 weeks though and I'll get to the them (only photographing the posters on a Friday).
Paul - much appreciated! Thank you!
Simes - I can't believe that LALD mistake! I have corrected them!
It's quite difficult getting the dates for the posters, so no worries - I thought I'd better ask you!
Which two Clint double bills haven't you seen before??
I'm not entirely sure about the DAF DCs ... I'm not up to DAF yet, but if you are able to find any info on them that would be great!
Thanks everyone (again),
Adam

Interesting... does the YOLT advance look like the US Subway? I haven't come across that one yet...

Hey Harry,
No, it doesn't. It looks quite different.
I might dig that one out on Friday as you haven't seen it before and get that photograph done and dusted.
That's a nice example of the TSWLM Seiko quad. Nice one!
You have the Thunderball VOIT programme, don't you??

Folks, I am not entirely sure about the Russia quad being a teaser. I am aware there is a school of thought that says it is a poster variation for Leicester square.
But, perhaps I am wrong.

Here's the other one sold at Christie's. Looks like the "Stowaway" ad has been taped onto the bottom.
Both were described as "advance" posters.
(http://posternirvana.com/0DNE/Russia-love3.jpg)
-
Indeed, and I accept I could be wrong.
But Tony Nourmand described all sorts of stuff in his Bond Poster book which was blatantly wrong. Lobby cards as quads and vice versa ...
Just a query.

Not sure if this counts... have had this for quite a while now, just need a bit of room to hang it!

Was there a seperate release for General exhibition?

No weblinks I know of - this was just after talking to the guys at Cineart Gallery.

Wow, what happened to the Cineart Gallery? Bought a few things from there, nice guys, but heard on the grapevine there was a bit of a falling out!?

Though this one could help with regards, date. This double bill was released on 28th June 1968. How much more accurate do you need. Trade Ads and pressbooks, a mine of info.

Just been delving to the bottom of my Quad draw and found this, as usual a bit boring compared to what's been posted before!
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/DAD02DSQUADGUN.jpg)
-
Hardly boring, in fact (or in my humble opinion) it's quite a striking image and completely walks over the Style B (Speed 2 :P ) advance with Brosnan & Berry.
If I recall there was some speculation that there was an image apparently hidden within the ice but I never found it. The other interesting fact is the creative team used the wrong gun (a Beretta instead of the Walther) which caused a minor uproar amongst the purists at the time.
Paul.

Hi guys,
I may not get any images uploaded here today as I took over 150 photographs yesterday.
And I still have over 30 images to sort from last week.
The way I had my posters stored were in order of film, with Casino Royale '67 and Never Say Never Again along with double bills etc coming last.
I have photographed the following (that were stored flat):
Double bills etc.
Casino Royale '67.
Never Say Never Again.
Casino Royale '06.
Quantum of Solace.
Die Another Day.
The World Is Not Enough.
Tomorrow Never Dies.
GoldenEye.
Harry, sorry I never got to take a photograph of the YOLT Advance.
I'll get to it as soon as I can, mate.
Best,
Adam
-
Thanks for the update - all sounds very interesting.
Once I see what I have that you don't (and I cannot think what that might be with your having three versions of a Mr teaser poster), I will happily provide to the cause.
Cheers.
-
No sweat. I'm just curious about some of the rarer quads as I just (stupidly) started a quad collection. I'm actually well on my way with the regular posters (minus the Connerys), but I'm sure it would take a lifetime to track down all the double bills, teasers/advances, glossy/matte variants, special posters, Marler Haley's, Seiko/other promotional posters, etc... Craziness! What was I thinking starting this now?
And that doesn't even include the non-quad ephemera! 1-sheets, double crowns, foreign posters, Handbills, tie-in advertising posters, and on and on...
-
Yes. I agree.
Looking at Adam's site, even I wasn't aware of all the variants of 1 sheets. I am not sure I will be going back to collect all these variants now, but I am aware that if one such variant crops up at the time of the film's release, I will probably acquire it.
For my part, I have concentrated on purely the US and UK produced material in an effort to ensure I don't go chasing off into the Indonesian jungles for some spurious version.
As for Marler Hayleys, I am interestedin these but only as a complete set of the five posters. From my own experience, I have seen portions of these presentations from Diamonds through to Living Daylights. I believe these were the only films represented by these Marlers. I personally own the full Octopussy set - as illustrated in this thread.
Would be interested to see what Adam has, as he seems to own all sorts ...
-
Welcome aboard Harry. ;)

Welcome aboard Harry. ;)
Well to be clear, I started a Bond quad collection. I have always bought the odd quad now and again, but I figured if I was going to collect Bond, there was only one way to go. Do you collect Bond as well? What sort of gems have you acquired over the years?
-
That's how it Starts Harry ;)
I have picked a few up over the years, I should of picked up more. My Goldfinger was £5, the most I paid was £12 for Diamonds are forever. To busy buying other things (not posters ).
Not counting Brosnan I have a quad from all bar three of the Bond movies, but I'm on the look out for a bargain price on those three. ;D
-
Quads are so the right format for Bond. These are the only one's I have pic's of at the moment Harry.

Yes, I have met Shirley several times, very nice Lady. I know signed posters are controversial, but I will never sell it. I'm off to get Honour Blackman to sign it in March, and then a trip to Scotland to visit Sean, but he doesn't know that yet. ;)

I saw Shirley Eaton last year and Honor who is a wonderful lady, i asked her if she could sign the autograph to me so I wrote my name on a piece of paper i had. When i wrote down my name which is Farrukh she told me about when she was living in Chelsea in a ground floor flat and that King Farooq of Egypt used to visit his mistress on the lower ground floor. He would enter through the lower ground entrance but leave from the upstairs door so as to not arouse any suspicion.
She then asked me if i had a mistress which kind of caught off me guard so i replied that I was married but she said 'well that shouldnt stop you!' 8)
I'll never forget meeting her, fantastic woman

Considering I'm just starting, you are killing me with those prices! I think I paid $325 for my mint DAF which I thought was an absolute steal. $180 for my FYEO... a bargain given that it has been selling consistently for $300+. Please don't tell me any more...
Fantastic posters by the way Paul... that Goldfinger is the bomb and signed to boot! You too Farrukh... Dr. F#@KING No. What else is there to say?
Thanks for posting guys.

It didnt stop Bruce Lee :P
Ive a question about the numbered AVTAK stills , at first I thought they were fakes but managed to get identical still of Zorin...what worried me at first was the glossy back but then I checked am OP still and its the same glossy back , OP one is legit for sure (press snipe/staple holes)
Moonraker , for instance , did not have glossy back....could they have changed paper type perhaps ?
Why would they fake the lesser Bond stills anyway....might as well fake FRWL or GF if youre in it for the $$$....lol
Ive got TLD numbered stills as wel (snipes on back)l....these are rare even on ebay.

(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Moore.jpg)
An immensely rare piece of original James Bond memorabilia; one of the rarest and most unusual you will see. Not a commercial copy or reissue but a first-release cinema antique from 1973.
After Sean Connery finally bade farewell to the Bond franchise (after Diamonds Are Forever; 1971) speculation was rife as to who would fill his shoes. When the decision was eventually made, three teaser posters were commissioned, each giving tantalizing details (as is typical with the teaser) without revealing too much.
The great British poster artist Robert McGinnis (1926 -) who had created so many beautiful and iconic Bond poster images, put together three ingenious designs; two in "double crown" format (30" X 20" approx) and one in one-sheet format (27" X 40" approx). These featured black print on white with selected details in red; a stark and effective colour combination. The first showed the title (Live and Let Die) with the "i" of die as a red dagger; Moore's name was not mentioned here. The second said simply "Roger Moore as James Bond", with two "O"s of Moore's name in red and the iconic "7" beneath, also in red; there was no mention of the movie title in this poster. At the top was Moore's head and shoulders, inclining the famous gun at an angle in the classic Bondian pose.
Offered for sale here is the third poster version, the one-sheet. As you can see, it is a variation of the last-mentioned poster. The difference being that Moore's name alone is mentioned, leaving the viewer to infer the rest. His face is not even shown either, but depicted in silhouette. It is the most subtle of the three posters, and arguably also the most effective.
It is also emphatically the rarest. Examples of the two DCs crop up occasionally. But this is the only example of this poster I have ever seen. It is possibly the rarest James Bond poster you'll ever see.
The poster is in overall excellent condition, but it does have signs of use. It is very lightly age discoloured, with a darker age tanning around the extreme edges. Also (visible in the photo) there are two larger patches of age discolouration, where the poster has been stored rolled or possibly where it had been displayed. These are not watermarks or stains but tanning from either age or the sun. At the extreme upper left hand corner there is a one-inch closed tear which has been neatly repaired on the back with tape; the tape does not show through. There is a quarter-inch closed tear on the upper extreme edge. There are also three quarter-inch closed tears on the extreme right towards the upper corner and one on the left-hand side. These closed tears are neat and do not really show. No pinholes. No rips. No evidence of tape (aside from the one mentioned that does not really show). Best of all, it is completely unfolded, unlike the majority of cinema posters from this period.
Genuinely rare; there's no telling when another might appear.
*********
I'm not too impressed, especially for that kind of money. I do like the other version:
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Live-And-Let-Die_4c9c74f5.jpg)
-
I wonder if that was part of the Marler Hayley presentations used in Odeons.
Never seen it before.
-
Hard to say what this is exactly but I have my doubts that it is part of any official theatrical campaign although it is very similar to the previously pictured 'double crown'.
My concerns rest in the inconsistencies of a couple of the letters, namely the two red 'O's' and the three 'R's' which all differ, in fact the overall look of the font looks like it has been 'hand done'. The placement and balance of the text & image is off - too far down and to the right which looks careless especially compared to the sharper looking DC's. If this was produced alongside the two double crowns why is the printers details missing of it and not them?
As Simes has suggested it could be part of a Marler Hayley set (but they normally consist of two quads and four DC's) but the overall look of this looks a little 'amateurish' (in my opinion) which either suggests this might have been produced for 'concept' purposes, unofficial uses or for pasting up onto advertising hoardings to be viewed from distance (where font accuracy can afford to be a little wayward).
This is of course pure speculation on my part based on what I can see in the picture. The poster itself definitely looks old but I don't think it's a stand alone 1-sheet as has been suggested in the sales copy.
-
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Moore.jpg)
Had a question for the Bond collectors here. A few things immediately caught my eye as being off on this poster. First, a couple different fonts are used. The 2 red "O's" are very different. The "O" in Roger is more rounded; the red "O" in Moore is more square and slightly larger. It extends below the second, black "O," in Moore, as well. The spacing is also off. It is closer to the second "O" in Moore and further from the "M."
Next, is the letter R. The first "R" in Roger is not the same font or style as the other 2- it is thinner and less "blocky" in appearance.
No printer's info on this poster. The example Mel used, showing Roger Moore's face clearly has that info in the lower right border.
I'm genuinely curious what others think about this. It almost looks like a poster that was made by someone locally in a print shop. Differences in font spacing and the use of different fonts doesn't look right at all. I can't imagine that a poster with these issues would ever have been approved for use?

Agree with all said.
The seller does seem to waver between whether it is a DC or 1 sheet. He states measurements though that correspond to DC.
All said, I personally wouldn't be tempted for £20, never mind the asked-for £1500. If it is Marler related, I would need to see the whole presentation and for my part, I would only buy as a complete set.
If one looks at the Marler quad for Spy, this does include a Verrrry amateurish gun barrel as its centre piece for its design, so it Could be that it came from the same design school ... But I really am guessing and perhaps being a little forgiving.
-
You mean £15,000 Simes !!!!! :o Crazy price !!!
This poster was brought to my attention this morning & I've been thinking about it all day ... Interesting!
Anyhow, I'm sorting images out, so here are some pics (nothing really mouthwatering, sorry!):

Got loads more to go through, so apologies for the slowness of all this, but it is a huge task and I'm hitting a crucial part of University now for the next 4 weeks.

No need to apologize, Adam. You're doing a good job. We (some people on APF, among others) should be saying sorry. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4PGBSptYCI) :D

Thanks Neo!
South Park is one of my favourite shows ... ever!!
Oh, I've just read Simes post about chipping in to the cause RE my website:
Simes, that's great! I'll be in touch soon through email! Really appreciate it.
Best,
Adam

Personally, I think it is part of a bigger poster. I don't think there is any chance they would have the two red "0"s without a "7" under it, and maybe much more is missing.
Bruce
-
Quite possible, Bruce - you've probably seen a lot of stuff like this over the years!?

Well I think this could have been done at a local Seaside printers. There was a shop on the front in Scarborough, who had all kinds of images already printed up, and you got your name, or what ever you wanted, as long as it was typographical printed under that image. I think this one someone just had Moore's printed on instead. I do remember one had a similar Silhouette that read ".................is James Bond" and you would add your name!
Here's one I picked up from that shop.
(http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss348/frankenstein31_photos/PICT0233.jpg)
The shop had Many, many images, looking at the price, I wish I had thought of doing that!!!

Paul - that Kung Fu poster is cool ... So you can kick ass just like Bond, eh!?

Maybe a few years back Adam, but a damaged Knee stopped me training and I have since put a "few" pounds on. ;)

I feel the pain ... My knees are shot, and all because of karate and suchlike.
Even playing football (yes, soccer for the US guys) is a no-no at the moment.

Dr. No UK Quad - Irish Issue (I do not own this piece)
Notice the differences.
Cheers,
Adam
-
Good grief - didn't even know there was an Irish version of Dr No.
I did see an Irish version of Thunderball at the Sylvan Mason exhibition in London end last year. Same deal, lots of painting over.
Splendid poster.
-
Is that over-printing or hand painting?
-
I don't think it is over-printing.
I am aware that the extra layers were hand painted on, and it certainly looks that way when you look at the poster closely.
There are not many of these posters around, that's for sure.
This is similar to the FYEO US One Sheet and a couple of International One Sheets where shorts were painted on over the bikini.
Best,
Adam
-
There are a lot of U.S. posters of the 1940s and 1950s that were painted over in this fashion when they were used in Canada. They particularly objected to sexy girls and guns.
I can understand paying people to "black out" so-called "offensive areas", but paying them to carefully over-paint posters one at a time is beyond ridiculous!
Bruce
-
Very true, Bruce.
It's an interesting one indeed!
Unless one of us poster nuts gets the chance to acquire one, or one of use here knows someone with a personal copy, then we won't know for sure.
I'll do a little more digging and see what info crops up.

Adam

Good "Sherlocking," Adam. The image you found on Bruce's sight certainly looks close to being associated with that mystery poster's design. Aside from the font style, the poster size, and even the similar discoloration pattern in the paper all may bode in that direction.. :D
Jeff
-
Adam,
Have you seen this poster before (or is it part of your collection already?) From the same seller of the £15,000 item.
Jeff
(http://i.ebayimg.com/11/!By,Dz+QCWk~$(KGrHqIOKjYEwq-mfFkTBMRklUJlw!~~_12.JPG)

The finding of that other LALD poster makes it look more and more likely it was part of the Marler Hayley set where the DCs were displayed, two either side of the quads which were themselves, on top of each other.
Doesn't seem likely that a bus poster from the UK would have survived this length of time.
Happy to be proved wrong.

Dr. No UK Quad - Irish Issue (I do not own this piece)
Cheers,
Adam
Hi, Adam!
I've seen one of these - unfortunately, I don't have an image of it - but I can vouch for the fact that the clothing appeared to have been hand-painted on - incredible as that might sound! I agree with Bruce - the thought of that happening is 'beyond ridiculous' but maybe it was some sort of over-printing process which just gave the appearance of being individually hand done. There are numerous examples of UK quads with Irish censorship over-painting which was definitely individually applied. So it's not impossible!
Best wishes,
Terry - www.quadbod.co.uk
-
Jeff,
Yeah, I have seen that poster before ... But I'm not sure I have it.
It will be a while before I get to the Dr. No gear to check as well!
Simes,
I suppose any poster can survive - if some of the posters a few guys here can survive for 50+ years, then a poster from the 70s should be OK.
(Whether or not it is part of the bus panel set??) I'm intrigued with your Marler Haley proposal - it's an interesting one, ain't it!?
Terry,
Thanks for that.
Bruce is right, sure, it is a crazy thought BUT I doubt there would have been many of these over-painting quads made available, so they could well have been hand painted. I'm talking to a guy at the moment who used to own one, but sold it a long time ago; something he tells me he now regrets. I've also tried to get in touch with the guy he sold it to - so just waiting for a reply; hopefully we can get some clearer answers! ;D
Best,
Adam

Hey guys,
I've taken a fair few photographs today.
I've decided to post two Moonraker UK quads.
Some people may not know there is a different version.
The first one is the one you usually see:
(http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/535.jpg)
Moonraker Uk Quad
This is the rarer version:
(http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/536.jpg)
Moonraker UK Quad Alternative Style
Notice the very subtle difference.
Best,
Adam
-
Very subtle, indeed.
I am assuming that either the studio or Ian Fleming's estate demanded the Fleming accreditation be moved, thus making the rare version a 'recall?'

It's a possibility, Brude.
Seems to be a very scarce version either way!

I had no idea there were two versions.... apparently I just bought a rolled copy of the rarer one a few weeks ago. Only $50 on eBay!
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/1636/1979moonraker.jpg)

Bloody hell Adam!
I too had no idea there were two versions. I am amazed.
Many thanks for bringing to my (our) attention.
-
No problem, Simes!
The funny thing was I became SOOO tired after photographing all day, and organising the posters that I actually put the damn thing into my little 'For Sale' section deadhorse
Luckily, I realised!
And duly gave myself a slap! laugh1

If I recall correctly, there are actually two different 40x60s... the one you pictured and another that is almost the same but without the orange bars (basically a giant 1-sheet).

so... i bought my first two bond posters.

I don't mean to sound harsh (and I'm an advocate that everyone is free to sell for whatever price), but you've just shot yourself in the foot with that comment.
Some sellers set prices at certain levels; sellers who aren't in a rush to sell, but do sell in time for what they state. If you couldn't give it away, then that says a lot with regards to the price you put on it and those you were targeting.
Mel, I can't believe that's the first time you've seen that GF 40x60!
The way you (admirably) trawl for images should have meant this popped up straight away!
Ogami - rolled TSWLM ... Diggin' that!

I usually dont mind fold lines but, due to the colors and the gloss, that is one poster that benefits greatly from the roll.

I think you'll find getting all the Moore posters rolled will be exceptionally hard, if not impossible to do, however, acquiring all the US One Sheets rolled would be easier IMO.

No problem!
Actually, funny you should mention the MR Seiko Quad ...
... I do in fact have one, but I didn't photograph it today as I decided to upload images rather than photograph more just to decrease the backlog.
If no-one posts an image of one before next Friday, I'll upload the pic next week!

Do you know what the story is with the Yamakatsu Octopussy B2? I have one, but I'd like to know more details about it. Any ideas why it seems to have sold for a more than the regular B2 (which I prefer) in the past?
-
What a great selection of new Bond images Adam. Thanks for snapping the pix and uploading them to APF!! The collection of rarities -- brilliant.
And selectively buying and picking just the right pieces-- is certainly the way to do it, clap rather than amassing sheer quantity, for sheer quantity's sake.

Some of the posters are considered rarities, some aren't, and some are just posters that have not been photographed and uploaded to the internet. It takes time, but definitely worth it and not just for my benefit, but for the benefit of others in the hobby too (I believe).

I think it is because it is more rare.
I also think that the photo-border going on may appeal more to the Eastern market ...
... I actually like this poster over the usual Japanese posters for Octopussy because it combines both the modern use of photographs with traditional art, instead of one or the other.

I know - one of my friends on your side of the pond thought I was taking the mick when I quizzed him on why the heck he had a Star Wars US One Sheet (Style D) & a Jaws US One Sheet, both in mint condition, hanging in one of his bathrooms!
I'm no expert on framing pictures, or where to hang them, but even before I knew a single thing about posters I was aware of the fact that hanging anything in a bathroom is a bad idea.
It's amazing what people do, Jeff.
... I think it's a case of common sense; some have more than others.

Very true.. but on the flip side.. if much of your collection is made up of easily obtained, current material, then once something is steam or heat damaged, its just a matter of picking up another copy and replacing it. cheers

Yeah, that's very true mate.
I'm not sure on the wealth of my friend, but if he can afford to put posters such as Jaws or Star Wars in bathrooms or even above radiators (he had a Alien US One Sheet above a heater of some kind :o) then that is fine - it's up to each individual to do what they like; but it's something I personally wouldn't do, and nor would most other collectors, or people with a bit of nous.

I could see if it was some disposal piece from recent years... but THAT it a crime gun1

I know, but what can you do!?
Some people just don't listen and think they know the lot, or sometimes they just couldn't care less, which is where I think my friend stands lol!
But then again, he isn't what I would call a collector - he's not like us cracker-jacks!
I think he has 5 posters from what I recall, all framed and hung in weird places (well, I say weird, I mean places I would never put them).

Well... you might be helpful in suggesting he move them to less weird places. But if he's not a real collector and just tacks them up wherever, for the sake of it, what can you do? To each his own, as they say, and, as we know some never listen or heed the advice of others more knowledgeable...
deadhorse
-
In this case, without sounding big-headed, I am more knowledgeable than my friend, but he didn't care when I brought it up with him, and I don't suppose he does now!
And just like that emoticon - deadhorse - I felt like clubbing him around the head lol!
Actually, I did verbally, but he has more money than sense!
I think the lack of a partner is the reason why - living the bachelor lifestyle 'n all!
He's happy though, and that's the main thing, however, I do wish I had have moved those posters when I had the chance moron1 lol !!

GP was the initial rating between G and R. Later it was swapped to PG, and later still PG13 was added.

GP was the initial rating between G and R. Later it was swapped to PG, and later still PG13 was added.
Bruce
Wasn't it 'M' for a few months before GP replaced it? I recall some trailer back in 1968-9 pushing GMRX.
I also recall that Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom was the movie that caused the fuss leading to PG-13.
Edit: Yep found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEzKlDXP3dg

Can anyone else confirm the year of this poster?
... I am pretty sure it is '71, not '73.
Thank you.
-
I stand corrected jayn_j. It was too early in the morning here when I posted!
It was M, then, GP, then PG.
A quick online search found this very helpful info:
The "GP" rating was in use circa 1970-72. It changed to "PG" in 1972, because it was being mistaken to mean "General Public". Prior to 1970, it was known as "M" (suggested for mature audiences); that was changed because many mistakenly thought that "M" meant "adults only".
This jives with what I remember (having lived through those times going to movies every week). Can anyone pinpoint it further?

So is this a military poster or an early re-release?
-
So is this a military poster or an early re-release?
It is my belief that the poster is a Military One Sheet from 1971.
-
"So is this a military poster or an early re-release?"
It is both.
-
It is both.
Erm, yeah, good point, Bruce!
-
It is important to say "1971 re-release" rather than just "1971 release" because it could have been first shown to the military in 1971. But during the Vietnam War (and the Korean War a decade earlier) the troops were shown just about every major release, so there is no way there wouldn't be an earlier military one-sheet for this same movie.

While the consensus of 2 whole people (thus far) is that this poster is only suitable to wrap fish in, can we still please abstain from 'finding' and then outing live posters?
I realize the mid-auction thread is there, but wasn't there an unwritten rule about something being in four figures being safe territory or something like that?
Regardless of how one or all the APF folks feel about a particular poster, outing it is extremely careless and incredibly inconsiderate to anyone remotely interested in the poster.

What do you actually refer to when you say 'outing it', Wonka?

Found that awesome-deficient poster here (http://cgi.ebay.com/Dr-No-James-Bond-1sheet-Sean-Connery-/220749566505#ht_500wt_749).
-
Ah, right, I get you.
To clarify my own position after looking back at my own posts:
I wasn't targeting the seller when I was looking for the year.
I've only just read the actual ebay page and the seller has '1960s' as the year, so I now see how this discussion (and my and others year finding) may have looked to you, Wonka.
I apologise for the unintentional annoyance.
-
You are correct Wonka. This should be in the mid-auction thread, at least until it's over.
I came in at the middle and did not realize it is a live auction.
I am properly rebuked.

Adam, it has nothing to do with that particular seller or year of the poster.
It is about drawing attention to a poster that is still for sale, and in doing so, has the potential to cost someone out there more money or losing the poster altogether thanks to it being 'outed'. Or in this case and Barbarella, thanks to Mel.

Ahhhhh ... I get you now! hitself
I just got involved because of the poster and what it was, but you are right.
I fully agree. Maybe Mel should not have posted the link to the auction.

I agree with you in theory Wonka, but I didn't think it was a big deal for these two posters. I'm sure Mel has watched this same Dr. No come and go on eBay before at this price... I think I've see it listed 2-3 times over the last 12 months or so with no bids. And as for the Barbarella, the poster is great, but you can already buy a nicer copy from a well respected dealer for the seller's reserve price:

Hi Harry, the specific details behind the two posters today are just rationalizations...it is Pandora's Box now, unless we have better rules and corresponding respect in place here.
I don't want either poster, but I am sure others might.

100% with wonka here...

Ditto.

I understand. And even though we have a mid-auction thread, I rarely use it unless it is something that has already been discussed extensively elsewhere like MOPO.
-
The good thing about this, however, is that we have ascertained the year of the poster in that I am sure it is from 1971, so maybe Mel can email the seller and let him know?
Obviously, I could be wrong about the year, but I'm pretty positive it is from the stated year as my copy came from a major collector who really knows his stuff.

Three points:
(1) There have been several forum "fights" over discussing pending auctions and Holiday ended them ages ago by saying that it is OK to discuss them on this forum. If you don't like it, take it up with him rather than starting another fight.
(2) It could have gone into mid-auction thread but it's not likely to generate much interest. It sat at a $200 Buy It Now for several days and nobody took the offer. The Buy It Now has disappeared b/c someone bid the minimum $150.
(3) I only referenced it specifically because several people were asking questions about its origin.
-

Actually, Mel, no-one questioned where the image came from or that poster's origins.
I do agree with Wonka, but, if Holiday did say what you have stated per forum rules, then you are not in the wrong for posting the link.

(3) Fair enough, but a PM would have sufficed.
There are several things that we can do here on the forum that are not underlined via the rules, but we choose not to do them out of common decency...tons of gray area here to be sure, but the rush to be the first on the block to lift, crop, and post the newest Barbarella poster mere hours before it ends seems extremely frivolous.
-

That is my stance on it as well, in addition to referencing posters worth more than we could all put together as well as stuff that raises eyebrows in potentially stopping dishonest sellers and their wares from deceiving.

I have never seen a DN/YOLT UK Double Bill Quad before, never mind a ROLLED copy! jawdrop
And I have also never seen a rolled copy of the TB/YOLT Double Bill UK Quad - folded yes, but rolled no!
I suppose these appeal to the Bond completest, or Bond quad completest, but I think they are rather nice, especially the DN/YOLT quad.

Thanks for not posting the third one Adam... I won the "cheapest" of the three rolled double bill Bond quads (shown below)!
I knew I should have just stuck to buying random cool posters that struck my fancy.
Now that I've become a "Bond Quad Collector" (notice the all caps), I'm starting to get obsessed. At first I was going to limit myself to only regular issue quads.... then I started buying advances and teasers... then I started buying errors and alternates... now I'm dabbling in double bills. In addition, now that I have a collecting focus, I've found that I'm occasionally overpaying for posters when in the past I would be more patient.
And I'm sure this shit will never end until I mortgage my house to buy that fucking Thunderball advance! I am so fucked.

Sorry Brother Harry but this double bill strikes out - mostly text and small black and white illustrations - a "poor cousin" of the one sheet counterparts IMHO:

They could have done something like this (borrowing the tagline from another double bill quad):

Mel, you collect only for the art. We all know that... heck, you haven't even seen 90% of the movies you have posters for!
However, that doesn't mean everyone only collects for pure aesthetics.
-
I think Mel might have been doing a quad vs one sheet comparison?
Thats how I collect...First thing I look at is title of movie. If I love that movie, the actor or the director, the poster really has to blow pretty bad for me to ignore it. See Godfather US 1 sheet.
-
Nice scores by Ogami and Harry.
While I haven't gotten the Bond bug yet, I'm starting to get the itch... mesmrized
-
As always, it's a matter of personal choice and market value. The market says that double bill is worth $180 - more than most Bond US one sheets - and that's just the way it is. IMHO other double bills are much better designed and more worthy of that kind of $$$, like the One Million Years/She (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=59083&Lot_No=53379#Photo).

The One Million years B.C./She double bill, is excellent, but there was a lot of extra ones printed. As they were a give away to the public. You just wrote to hammer, and they would send you one, FREE. ( Ar, the good o'l days )
So it's supply and demand, and always will be. it's the only way anything is worth what it is.
Do you have a problem with Text on posters Mel, as I quite like text on them. I even have some posters that are all Typographical, and I love them. If you want posters with no Text, maybe you should buy old Pace, or Athena posters... As unfortunately film posters have to say what the film is, and who is in them, etc etc.

There is no 1-sheet for this combo.

Come on Paul, all other factors being equal, text and blank space significantly detract from the appearance and value of a poster. It's not a quad v. OS issue. To wit, compare the following first three posters (minimal/reasonable text/credits) to the second three (maxed out/excessive text/credits/blank space):

I agree. Like the detective in Cape Fear when they were strip searching De Niro behind the one way glass, he said "I don't know whether to look at him or read him." :D

A french one panel I own.. and I will say that neither the text nor lack of imagery detracts from either its appearance or value.

Hey Adam, only morons make "+1" posts. So quit being a moron and post something original.
And Harry, nice Photoshop work! Of course, I did say "all other factors being equal." The most relevant comparisons are posters from the same movie with more and less text, like I posted below.

Adam... is that Casino Royale a 30x40? What is the story with that one?

No mate, I do have the 30x40, but this is around 15x25inches - I don't have the exact size at hand ...
... It could be a little bigger though. I'll find the correct measurement after all my work is done and let you know.
Is this OK?
EDIT: On the bottom of the poster there is some text basically saying:
"Get a free full colour reproduction of this poster. Send 50c to ..."
I'll post a close up of the text area after my work is finished, Matt.

This is just a quick reply as I'm doing extra work for uni (it's 4:00am here).
It's a US poster.
I think it was from a newspaper or something like that (official promotional material), and to get the full colour version you had to send away for it.

A Season Of James Bond 007 UK Quad Teaser
That has got to be a pretty rare quad!
-
Spent the best part of today trying to ascertain the year of this piece, Matt.
Spoken to many people.
We have settled with the year 1972 due to the UA/Transamerica logo.
It could also be 1975 at a push.
Any further info on this from anyone here would be great!
-
That has got to be a pretty rare quad!
I think so too, that is a jollyfine piece. It maybe 71/72 as it still states "cert" A. I think that stopped sometime in the mid 70's.
-
We have settled with the year 1972 due to the UA/Transamerica logo.
I aint too proud to ask another newb question. How/why and what years do we get from the UA/Transamerica logo?
-
I researched this for years before finding the exact answer! The logo changed in 1968. The last UA poster with the old logo was 68/151, and the first one with the UA Transamerica logo was 68/168 (the numbers in-between were not UA movies).
So ANY poster with the UA Transamerica logo is surely 1968 or later.
Bruce
-
Bloody hell Adam.
And so continues the realisation and demonstration that the 'complete-ish' collection (define 'complete') I thought I had is apparently only the beginnings of something.
The US Bond festival poster had a teaser??! Absolutely never realised this. Is this another poster as owned by you or an image courtesy of contacts??
As for the Season of Bond quad, there is also a set of 8 FOH cards in the UK. The eight were made up of a 10x8 version of the above poster and one card each dedicated to the first seven Bond films. OHMSS did Not showcase Lazenby, rather it showed Savalas and Rigg..

Hey Simes,
Any image I upload is mine, unless I state otherwise.
So, yes, I own that poster.
I also own the FOH set you mention, but will not get round to photographing those until after all posters have been photographed.

Yes, Bruce, it is definitely after 1968, for sure.
I think so too, that is a jollyfine piece. It maybe 71/72 as it still states "cert" A. I think that stopped sometime in the mid 70's.
Paul, I'm pretty sure it is '72 because of the UA/Transamerica logo and the 'A' logo.
I aint too proud to ask another newb question. How/why and what years do we get from the UA/Transamerica logo?
Zorba, Bruce touched on it there - the logo has changed a few times over the years, with and without the Transamerica part.
Cheers,
Adam
-
Thanks for the answer Bruce and Adam but Im not done asking :P
So a UA/TA logo puts a poster after 68. What year does that logo stop appearing?
-
That particular logo stops appearing in 1975.
I think the UA/Transamerica logo stops appearing altogether in 1981.
-
More nice posters from Adam. thumbup
Very cool, indeed.

Thanks Adam. It looks hideous and I would *NEVER* put one on my wall. But as a Bond collector, I love it! ;D
-
Yeah, the MR Quad isn't like the TSWLM Quad, where the seiko advertising is incorporated into the poster artwork so-to-speak.
Here it is a simple snipe added along the top.
(http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/615.jpg) (http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/50.jpg)
As a standalone MR Quad it's not something many people would choose to own, but for people like us Bond nuts, we don't really care!
It's another poster to add! ;D
-
I wouldn't call the seiko-TSWLM pretty either... I just bought it because the price was right.
Cool posters though, thanks for posting.
-
No problem!
-
Cheers for the continued posting Adam.
All rather humbling, it has to be said.
Superb stuff.
-
Thank you, Simes.
I really appreciate it.
I'm not far off the Connery gear, so I'll hopefully get the YOLT UK Advance Quad uploaded within the next month or so.
-
We all know what a sucker I am for Snipes, ABC logo's, other Advertising Stickers on posters, as it is film history. Sometimes they can be too over done, but as long as you have an original...
Anyway, Here you go Adam, Any thoughts. Mind you probably have this anyway. ;)
(http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss348/frankenstein31_photos/PICT0620.jpg)
-
Very interesting piece, Paul.
A shame the guys at the cinema pasted a mini-banner over the quad, but still, what a piece of Bond memorabilia! sm1
EDIT: Oh, I don't have this - it was probably a one-off, or at least one of very few due to the pasting of the mini-banner.
I'd quite happily take it off your hands though! ;D
-
"mini-banner" is a snipe.
-
I know what a snipe is, Ari. ;D
The reason I said 'mini-banner' is because it looks like it was a standalone bit of advertising, which had been pasted onto the poster.
From my understanding, snipes are not standalone advertising.
Or should everything that is added to a poster be termed a 'snipe'??
I would bet that this 'Odeon One' snipe, mini-banner (or whatever it may be described as) was used on its own and put up at various places around the cinema and local area.

The only other Advance quad I have seen is in Nixdorf's book.
But the rarest of those three is the Popular Science 30x40 - I have yet to see another of those and I am quite interested to know what other posters were created for this issue of Popular Science, if any.

Thanks, Ted!
I have it written down somewhere, but off the top of my head probably near 1,000 unique posters; not including lobby cards, front of house stills etc. It cannot contend with Paul Waines' collection of quads/horror gear, but as a Bond collection in its own right it's not bad, I guess.
Really outstanding Adam. So how about telling us where these ultra-rarities were found?
Thanks, Mel.
I'm a confidential person and cannot disclose this information, unfortunately.
It's not that I don't want to; it's rather I can't - the reason is because I have made personal promises to various people (who are collectors) and I stand by those promises, and so I will not violate their trust in me, which is something I hope you understand.
What I will say is that people approach me, and always have done from the start - I actually like that; others may not.
Sometimes, however, it is simply being in the right place at the right time, eg ebay amongst others.
I mean, look at Matt - some of the deals he has got at various places are tremendous!
The same applies to Paul Waines, and pretty much everyone else here to be honest in one way or another.
One of the best cases has to be Dario, who, if I remember correctly, found a collection in Canada consisting of some 4,000-5,000 pieces from years gone by! Truly amazing stuff!

Incredible posters, but I have a question about your watermarks. Look at the You Only Live Twice UK Double Crown. It would take an instant to remove them. Why bother watermarking if you put them in solid areas?

This poster isn't actually on the website yet because as you can see, the image is crap!

Now, now, Bruce, it's nothing to do with the condition of the poster. It's something in the design, which is probably why it went for so much....

It's very obvious, but probably not the reason it went for so high.

The reason it went for that price is because of the missing words, IMO.
Bruce has sold, I think, only one of these before.

Condition is about right (as per description in the auction).
This poster is yet another example of when a piece looks better in person.

adz did you get the double crowns as well?

Mel
I knew that was what you were driving at, but didn't want to spoil your game.
We noticed the same thing, and so we contacted Bond experts and Japanese poster experts, and all either responded "Both are original" or "Don't know".
Bruce
-
The eyes have it.
-
adz did you get the double crowns as well?
No, I didn't mate.
I couldn't justify over £600 for DCs that I have seen come up for sale on three or four occasions in the last two years.
The quad, on the other hand, I have personally never seen come up for sale.
I am sure it was one person who won all 4 of the DCs.
I pipped that same person to the quad - to be honest, I was actually very surprised it didn't go for more!
My max bid was a bit more than £421!
So why do the 1967 Japanese posters have his eyes blue but the 1976rr has them brown?
And why is the tagline "Sean Connery is James Bond" missing from the Emovie B2?
I don't know the definite answers to those questions, but to echo Bruce's comments - I said it is probably an original; the only thing that is missing are the words 'Sean Connery Is James Bond'.
-
Sean Connery is James Bond only appeared on first release posters. After that Connery didn't want his name, and the suggestion that he IS James Bond on the posters, as by then a different actor was playing the part. So it is quite often missing on re-release posters. Some first release Quads that were re-used for re-releases had a sticker placed over the IS so it read Connery AS James Bond. Which was a compromise, Connery and the studios came too, when the films were re-issued.
-
answer is....
what paul just said.

Yeah, Connery's decision not to be associated solely with the Bond franchise is something fairly well-known in Bond circles, but for me this poster is difficult because it is pretty much exactly the same as the true, original release as it were, so if this is a re-release then it must be a very early one ... Do you know what the exact date is, Paul? Would it potentially be late '60s?
-
I must be a bit slow here, it has been one of those days... which poster do you not know the date of Adam? can you post a pic...

This one, Paul ;D

Oh right, I see the problem. It looks first release to me, bar the missing Connery tag.... I'm not a betting Man, but I would bet on it being first release. The UA logo changed in 68 and I cannot see them re-releaseing it again 6 months later...

The dating system Armin has on his site for Japanese posters would confirm this....the poster is using Showa which means 42=67

Scoular In Suspected Suicide
13 hours ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »
British actress Angela Scoular died after allegedly drinking poisonous chemicals in a suspected suicide attempt, according to a U.K. report.
The wife of comedian Leslie Phillips was taken to hospital on Monday after paramedics were called to deal with an emergency at the couple's London home. Doctors were unable to save her and she was later pronounced dead.
Police are treating her death as "unexplained" and detectives are currently investigating.
Reports suggest the former Bond girl, 65, who had been suffering from bowel cancer, took her own life by ingesting toxic chemicals, while Carry On star Phillips admits his wife was struggling to deal with her illness.
He tells Britain's Daily Mail, "I didn't know she was going to take her own life. I suspected that it was a possibility because she had gone under, into this deep sadness. She had had a ghastly time.
"She never got free of the illness. I felt very sorry for her. Other illnesses had started to creep in. After three years of cancer she was always getting something else.
"She did her best but it got her down. Cancer takes you to the lowest places. It's a very tough thing to live with. She was weakened by the cancer and then depressed, deeply depressed. She was all over the place." »

Scoular In Suspected Suicide
British actress Angela Scoular died after allegedly drinking poisonous chemicals in a suspected suicide attempt, according to a U.K. report.
I am sure some of us here met her - she was a very nice woman and I was shocked to say the least when I heard of what had happened.
Sad day.
BOOO!

Either this seller has no clue about its true value, if one can say such a thing, or they have a client list like Dave's which is highly doubtful!

Or you can buy this one from rokmodataol. :-X
In his ad, he explains why he is using a Stock photo of the poster:
"I am using a stock photo because I have had this poster rolled since before the movie was released and I do not want to try to unroll it and hold it down for a picture. I got this and some others from a studio exec and they have nor been exposed to any light or air."
Not exposed to air?? Has it been vacuum packed or hermetically sealed? mesmrized

That's crazy, Jeff.
If he has so many, then he should take one out, photograph it and use the same photo for other auctions if the poster is from the same roll.

I'm thinking about buying the Moonraker one stop and splitting it into three posters (the left and right posters will be 26" x 41"). What do y'all think? Is it a case of the sum of the parts is greater than the whole?

Hey Mel,
I saw back last year when you were going to send in something to him despite the many posted warnings, but never saw a follow-up.
So what happened to the poster?

Hey Mel,
I saw back last year when you were going to send in something to him despite the many posted warnings, but never saw a follow-up.
So what happened to the poster?
He still has it - a $60 Casino Royale poster. I paid him $110 to linen-back it and ship it back, so I'm out $175.
Unfortunately, I let the 45 day Paypal limit pass, so my only option is to sue him in his local court. Even though I'm a lawyer myself, the court costs, lost work time, and the transportation to and from New York far exceed the amount lost, so I haven't done anything yet.
If anybody lives near Brooklyn and is willing to show up in court for me, PM me.
-
But why does he still have it?
-
Did you try calling them? Same thing happened to me... After lots of calls and emails I eventually got it back as promised.

Unless you have called him and he has flatly refused to return it to you, you are out nothing at this point. Ive read a few of the horror stories about this guy, but at the same time, if (almost) a year has gone by without any follow up calls by you, then you dropped the ball. He seems very backlogged all the time and a call would be essential, IMO. (On the other hand, if you have called him and he has given you excuse after excuse, resulting in him STILL having your poster, then that is a different matter altogether).
My worry now would be that it could have been misplaced after all the time that has gone by.

Yes, I've called and written numerous times. After he missed at least five deadlines and ceased answering my emails, I got mad and threatened to sue him. So I'll just have to deal with him the hard way if I ever get around to it.

There's no excuse for his non response and complete lax behaviour. Did you ever actaully talk to him? Or was it always a voicemail message left for him? Id love to know what his excuse was after the 5th missed deadline (let alone the 2nd or 3rd).

I suppose I better put this link here for those who only read the Bond thread - I know a few lurkers do at least:
Channons Inaugural Auction (http://www.channons.com/index.php) tonight.
6:30pm GMT at The Royal Automobile Club in Surrey, UK.
There's a few Bond posters in there, as well as other Bond memorabilia and Aston Martin memorabilia.
Myself, I won't be bidding on anything, but I will be watching the auction unfold; rather intrigued, as some others, to see how much the Goldfinger Red Variant poster goes for.

Yeah, I still think FYEO might be Moore's best Bond. The producers knew that they needed a more serious film coming off the farce that was Moonraker. Its almost like the same transition we saw between DAD and Casino Royale (albeit with an actor change as well).

I wasn't even sure I should claim that about FYEO. TSWLM is a fantastic movie no doubt. I struggle between which I ultimately like better... TSWLM is a more grand movie (megalomaniac villain, under-water city, impending nuclear annihilation of the known world, etc...), while FYEO has a darker edge (with revenge, spy games and double crosses). Both are great for different reasons.
I think Bach is hot... 6" forehead and all!

I would put TSWLM in my top 3 of all time (Bond). Its just pure fun from start to finish. Plays like a Tintin adventure (those books kick ass too).
But as you say, 'grand' is a great adjective here. FYEO is pretty great, but has some of those 'ugh' parts for me personally that I find more egregious than the ones in TSWLM (hockey rink scene, VW flipping down the cliff bit, awkwardness with Bond and Bibi, etc).
-
All of this is so incredibly subjective that its pretty amazing that so far we all actually like TSWLM.
Not in my top three but I like and every time I pass by it, I stop and enjoy.

Bach or Munro...Munro or Bach...
Jeezum crow, that's a tough call.

Apparently there will be a new James Bond Movie Posters book (http://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/collecting_2012_books_preview.php3?t=&s=&id=02901) to be published next year.
First off, the official movie book publisher Dorling Kindersley will be churning out a trio of titles to satisfy the casual fan. 'The Bond Chronicle' will be a film-by-film history of the series and will also include Bond 23 as it is scheduled for the shelves in November 2012. Just in time for Christmas, too. 'Fifty Years of Bond Film Posters' will celebrate the marketing of the movies and will hopefully be an improvement on the uninspired 'James Bond Movie Posters' by Tony Nourmand released back in 2002. Rounding out DK's releases for 2012 will be 'Bond on Set', a photography-centric account of the making of Bond 23.
Does anyone have a handle on who is actually doing the compiling?
-
I'm going to ask those who I suspect will know a thing or two.
Best,
Ad
-
I've also ping-ed a mail to DK - told them that the Tony Nourmand precursor to their product requires bettering.
Would they like any images and facts, I asked.
We'll see.
-
Just come off the phone to one of the guys from MI6, where you linked to.
It's a rehash of the previous book, mate.
I'll let you know more when I find out myself.
-
Ok - sounds just great then.
A perpetuation of the incorrect and the myth ...
-
I hope it gets properly looked at.
I think the best Bond poster book to date is Nixdorf's; only problem is that it is in German.
You can decipher it enough to understand though.
It's also very hard to get hold of - if you haven't got one Simes, get one!
I think the the last time I seen one for sale it was £50.
The hardback version is even more rare!
-
I think you guys should contact the publisher and set the record straight.
With the combined knowledge of you Bond experts, they have a chance to produce something special.
My two cents....
cheers

That is an awful shame.
Only 27 and found dead in her London apartment.

I'm sure it was an actual cinema poster, but I can't imagine there are many of them still around, especially not rolled.
It may have been used in certain cinemas, or maybe just one - really not sure!
Either way, it's bloody rare! :o

Indeed this TSWLM is rare but it did feature in Thomas Nixdorfs excellent book on Bond posters. There was also a similar 'calendar' style quad issued for Moonraker which also very rarely surfaces.
Judging by the style and colour palette I suspect these were produced by the same people who issued the 'Myler Haley' sets.

That is quite correct - the first time I knew of it when I saw it in the book.

His book is very good, and contains posters from collections that are undoubtedly amongst the best in the world.

The problem was translating the book and then sorting all the legalities in the UK & US.
Hopefully, something will come in the future.
So who got this one?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120767842697
A simply stunning price. And I thought my silly bid, which came second, would have been way over the top.
I think Jonny has the hump - see Post Auction thread lol.
Mighty bid Simes, but like I said in the other thread, I reckoned £500-900 is what it would go for, so not surprised you bid £990.00!
This is a completest's piece more than anything, in my opinion.
-
Agreed that this is one for the completist and may even warrant that type of figure if the art was substantially different or unique but what is crazy (imo) is that for possibly treble that amount (on a good day) you could buy the original.
Will be interesting to see if others do now surface along with the Goldfinger and TSWLM.
-
you bid £990?
I stuck that amount forward thinking that would cover an element of craziness - and also thinking that it would go for £300ish.
Clearly I was wrong.
-
... it will be interesting to see if you're offered one of those 'winning bidder didn't pay, you were the second highest' chances to purchase ... ?!
Hmmmm.

I think the only three posters from Park Circus were the aforementioned Spy, Gf and Russia. I am not aware of thre being any others.

I have a question on FRWL for you experts.
I recently got in a lobby set where the Rose coloring was way more intense than any other FRWL cards I remember having (I know there are both B&W sets and tinted sets), so I checked them with the Heritage archives to compare.
Not only are these much pinker than those (and others I remember having), but the card numbering is different - same scenes but different numbers and placement.
Check out these two below for an example, The numbers are below the word "Bond" instead of further to the right and under "Technicolor" and don't match the #1 and #8 I am more familiar with (and the scans didn't come out nearly as pink as the cards really are).
Anyone else have these different numbers?

Hi,
I have varyingly tinted cards.
Also, Bond in bed as Nos 3 and 4. Helicopter chase as Nos 2 and 3. I wasn't aware of other varying numbers.
Cheers.
-
I think the only three posters from Park Circus were the aforementioned Spy, Gf and Russia. I am not aware of thre being any others.
There was the following issues:
GF
TSWLM
FRWL
and a combined poster, which is black.
I don't know of anyone with the full set.
Personally, the full set IMO would be worth around £1500ish.
I'll have to have a look at my FRWL LC Set to see what mine are like!
-
Fella - are you talking about both posters and lobby cards?
Not sure I follow.
-
Sorry Simes.
I meant that I will have a look at the FRWL cards for variations as you and Crowzilla have noted.
Oh, here is that other Park Circus UK Quad:
(http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/594.jpg)

Ah yes - I have that too, but did forget it.
I note on your site though that you had yet another variation of of a Festival quad from '72. Another to add to the list of those never before seen.
-
Yeah, I know which one you talk about.
One of my mates has a picture from a cinema in London with that very poster in a light box of sorts.

OK Bond experts. Emovie has labeled this LB poster as a 1980 restrike. What's your analysis? (I've emailed mine to someone on the board and will post later).

-
Don't know... according to MPA if it has:
- the GAU logo with NSS paragraph, # and stamp on the back, it the original US printing.
- the GAU logo with no NSS details and no rating, it is the original int'l printing.
- the LPIU logo with no NSS, block print, no stamp and is reverse folded, it is the 80s re-release.
This looks like it could be the original int'l printing, but it doesn't have the GAU logo or framers marks in the corners. Do you know a different write-up explaining the differences?
DAF comparison at the bottom: http://movieposterauthenticating.com/wordpress/james-bond/james-bond-1-sheet-1980-re-releases/
US 80s on left, US '71 on the right, no photo of the '71 int'l
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/DHarland/DAFcomparison-1.jpg)
-
To the best of my knowledge the DAF in question was printed with the original plates for the original release but was used as spillover for either foreign or domestic release. Another way to look at it is a second (or later) printing to quickly meet theater demand. In either case, it is from 1971 and the initial release, but I will check with the guy I talked to about this a few years back.
If I find anything out, will let yinz know ASAP.
-
No question it is a 1971 poster, most likely the international. The lettering color is substantially different. The 71 uses dark orange brown. The 80 uses orange shades.
-
I see what you guys are saying. I assume you all noticed that there is no union logo at bottom center (but as I wrote in the description, it appears that it was painted over with restoration paint).
Because it does seem that it is the original poster, I will end the auction and relist it later, properly identified.
Thanks very much. Remember that it is always better to also send us an e-mail directly, because I don't always get to check the forum as often as I might like, and we get corrections done much faster when they are also e-mailed to us directly.

Ayup... I've got a quick question regarding a single sided Quantum of Solace 1-sheet I'm interested in. It's the final version with Bond and lady walking in the desert away from the burning evil villains base, buuut... supposedly the sandy background has been embossed which gives it a rough textured feel!?
I do know about the same double sided poster having the Bond logo in the middle embossed (and UV coated?) but never heard of this version before.
Has anyone got one of these, seen one, know anything about it?
Any info. would be helpful, thanks.

I can understand Mel checking here first. One hates to call out a poster unless you are sure.
What I don't understand is why the backer chose to put blank paper in that area instead of replacing it with the logo from another poster. I assume he is using junk posters for fill material.
-
I guess this goes here, Title translates as sexual temptations of 007 and the tagline: her wish... was to grab the pistol!!!

A rare victory for the ji-quad-ists 'round here! Most quads use the one sheet art. But this time the one sheet borrowed the quad design and looks "squeezed" in comparison.
By the way, the quad just sold for a relatively low $92 tonight on Ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/YOUR-EYES-ONLY-James-Bond-007-Original-British-Poster-Roger-Moore-/110754050442?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c974b18a&autorefresh=true).

If SkyFall is indeed the title to the next Bond, another forum is playing around with fan poster designs. Most of which are of the usual standard.
But this one, if the title and the lead villain identity are to be believed, seems to tick all the teaser poster requirement boxes.
Thoughts.

While I am all in favor of Blofeld making a return to the franchise, including his lap cat, Bond posters have been so horrible as of late, the last thing we need is a big ass cat 27x40.
(http://www.impawards.com/2004/posters/garfield.jpg)
(IMO, the best Blofeld is Donald Pleasance from You Only Live Twice. The scar, the voice, the glares, the suits, the chair, etc...so great!)
-
Sorted this for you too sir.
(IMO, the most deficient of all Blofelds is Donald Pleasance from You Only Live Twice. The scar, the voice, the glares, the suits, the chair, etc...so lacking in presence!)
Oh the hilarity of debate.

Runner up in the Blofeld contest is the one in the chair that you never see in FRWL.

(IMO, the best Blofeld is Donald Pleasance from You Only Live Twice. The scar, the voice, the glares, the suits, the chair, etc...so great!)
I must chime in.
In my VERY biased opinion it has to be my man Telly in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Who loves you baby?

Telly was good, but Telly is Telly, what you see it what you get. Kind of like Harrison Ford.
Simes, don't tell me you like Charles Gray's Blofeld.
-
The studio has issued hundreds of posters showing Bond, babes, and guns. Something like that fan art of the white cat would be a refreshing - and much needed - change.

No Bond, babes or guns!!?!? BLASPHEMY!!!
-
We are talking about a Bond movie right?
Since were on the subject of change...What if one of the posters for lets say Black Swan had a Bond type character stroking a gun along the thigh of a half naked Mila Kunis? I liked the Swan posters just fine but they were all pretty much the same depressing theme...Change that shit up! ;D
-
Harry and Zorba... clap clap
-
Telly was good, but Telly is Telly, what you see it what you get. Kind of like Harrison Ford.
Simes, don't tell me you like Charles Gray's Blofeld.
Gray and Pleasance seemed both not very capable or obviously bright.
Savalas was good. Did seem capable and brutal.
The best renditions were in Russia and TBall. (for me)
-
Tried replying to this on my phone after Simes posted the initial image, but it just wouldn't work!
Anyway, I've seen loads of fan art cropping up, especially when people thought the film was going to be called "Property of a Lady".
The poster art Simes put up is actually quite good, though slightly grammatically incorrect.
However, I can't see it or even something very similar, being used because it reminds me too much of the Swatch Watch catalogue; surely EON would never use secondary imagery when attempting to re-invigorate the franchise after the disappointment that was Quantum of Solace.

Given the condition and the rarity... I would guess that it will go for $3.5-$4K minimum... if not much more.
However, in the future you might refrain from putting up in progress auctions in case some here might be bidding. I'm sure you would appreciate the same if it was something you were bidding on. I know I'm glad you didn't get wind of that Big Lebowski int'l 1-sheet... otherwise I would have had to pay more than double what I did!

As you know that issue has been debated many many times on this board and there's never been a consensus. Once it hits $1,000, it's fair game for public discussion in my book. There are very few APF members who are playing at that level. This particular one was not going to slip "through the cracks."

Just because you don't agree with everyone else doesn't mean there wasn't a consensus ;)
Seriously though, its easy to dismiss it as 'fair game' when you aren't bidding. The price of the poster shouldn't matter... we all collect in different price ranges. Most of us know your collecting habits Mel and I doubt many people have 'outted' under-priced posters here... in fact I've even sent you links on occasion (exclusively I might add) hoping to help you get a deal. There are definitely plenty of Bond collectors here on APF so it is just a common courtesy.
And don't be so quick to assume that even high priced posters won't fall through the cracks... I know I've found some killer bargains on eBay (that luckily weren't discussed on APF), even at $1K+.
-
I agree with Matt 100%. It's not because it's Mel who has upset the applecart, it could have been anyone. I, too, have on a couple of occasions scored some great, rare Bond pieces on eBay and other websites because they have fallen through the cracks so-to-speak. Whether a poster is worth under $100 or over $1000 does not matter. What matters here is that Mel knows for a fact there are collectors here who are going to bid on this poster, but he still went ahead with posting the auction. I also would like to advise Mel not to make statements declaring there aren't many at all who are capable of competing in the $1000+ price range - he does not know what goes on behind closed doors and so cannot make such bold statements of perceived truth based on the words typed in a forum. I honestly believe that had the roles been reversed, World War 3 would have erupted. I must state for the record that this is just my opinion and, for fear of wrongful accusation, is not an attack on Mel - i know some will think otherwise, but i would have wrote the same had anyone else said what was said. Thank you.

As I posted in the mid-auction thread, you are just rehashing arguments made and lost ages ago by the "majority," led by "Con Man Carson."
As for this particular Irish quad, you are living in dreamland if you think my "outing" it here will affect the final price at all. It's a $5,000 - $10,000 poster that has already exceeded $1,000 after just three days (with four days to go) with three active bidders, one of whom has 10,000+ Ebay feedback (almost certainly a dealer). There was a slim chance it could have "slipped through the cracks" but it didn't.
-
At first glance this might seem a bit mad but fingers crossed I've still got all me marbles.
I recently saw an ebay auction for an 'embossed' (centre title and 007) QoS single sided US 1s (top right below) and decided I'd go for it even tho I'd never seen one before and never heard of a film poster being embossed. The seller was quality and even threw in a single sided gloss varnish US 1s (top left below) for free so I could see the difference! Unfortunately the seller got their 'embossing' confused with 'spot varnishing' and the poster I paid for had the centre title and 007 spot varnished so it was glossy on the matt paper (not embossed!). When I messaged them and said if I'd have known I'd have just bought the double sided version they apologised and sent me the normal double sided version (bottom right below) for free as well!
Sooo, up till then I'd paid (not a lot) for one poster and received three! At this point I was interested why so many of the same poster were printed, seems a complete waste of money to me. I understand teasers (minimal information, sometimes lacking the films title and possibly a tag line like 'Coming Soon' or 'November', not usually rated), advances (titled, sometimes lacking credits and possibly a tag line 'Coming Soon', 'November' or even a specific date, possibly with the rating box) and regular posters (credits, date of release and ratings box) but these all seemed random.
I saw another single sided version with no month or day of release on it (bottom left below) and as I'd never seen that version (and was intrigued) I bought it. So here we have four posters for the same film, all with credits (some rated some not) and the same image (although cropped differently on a couple).
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/QUANTUMOFSOLACE1sx4.jpg)
If my rationale for teasers, advances and regular posters are correct this is how the four should work:
i. No month/date ss vers. (bottom left) - teaser/advance - credits and ratings box
ii. 'November' ss vers. (top left) - advance - credits, month, no ratings box but soundtrack box
iii. 'November 14' ss spot varn. vers. (top right) - regular/final - credits, date and ratings box
iv. 'November 14' ds vers. (bottom right) - regular/final - credits, date and ratings box
So I don't understand why what I'd expect to be the earliest printing of the poster (no month or date) has the ratings box, but the version with just 'November' has the soundtrack box rather than the ratings one?
Then you get onto the difference in cropping of the main image... the no month no date ss version (bottom left) seems to have the same crop as the 'November 14' ss rated version (top right)... but the 'November' ss soundtrack box version (top left) has the same crop as the 'November 14' ds rated version (bottom right)!!!!?
Ahhh does that make any sense at all!? Why spend all the money on what is essentially the same poster but crop the main image differently and add/subtract the month/date and credits box in what seems a random way? After all that perhaps this is the order they were printed:
i. 'November' ss vers. (top left) - credits, month, no ratings box but soundtrack box
ii. No month/date ss vers. (bottom left) - credits and ratings box
iii. 'November 14' ss spot varn. vers. (top right) - credits, date and ratings box
iv. 'November 14' ds vers. (bottom right) - credits, date and ratings box
I know there'll be a few more double sided versions of this poster out there, one being with the spot varnish, there's also all the international versions (luckily they've got the main image with brighter blue sky so you can tell the difference). I haven't even studied the international 'blue sky' versions so dread to think how many there are out there.
Anyways, just food for thought really, and it all came about because of the ebay seller I got three posters off for the price of one.
This is my favourite, always good to have a poster without a tagline at the bottom saying when the films being released (imo)...
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/12008JamesBondQuantumOfSolaceMoviePoster160574405324photo.jpg)
ps and yes they are all printed perfectly, pin sharp and pristine plus the sizes only vary by a couple of millimetres (although I haven't measured them accurately yet they were the same size as other authentic 1sheets I was photographing at the same time).
pps I haven't even photographed the US subway version of the poster yet Matt! Fingers crossed that's got everything on!

We are all afflicted much the same way. Nice poster(s). wynk
-
Nice write up.
Never realised there were so many variations of the same poster...
-
Further to the above, I am aware there are some further versions although I have yet to get them in my hands to verify.
1. There is an October 31st dated poster.
2. Someone is selling an embossed poster whereby the sand is embossed. I have never heard of this before.
As an aside, please can you tell me;
1. Whereby the 007 logo is spot varnished and others are not, just how glossy is it because of the two versions I have, both are what you might call slightly shinier but not along the lines of mylar glossiness.
2. Can anyone point me in the direction of a date-less version. I guess I am looking to agentprovocateur for this information.
Cheers.
-
I think I've got poster Tourettes brude! ;D
Simes, apologies, the embossed sand version you mentioned is the one I went for, I mistakenly wrote the auction said it was the logo but you reminded me the seller said it was the sand that was embossed. Unfortunately it isn't, the paper's matt and the logo's UV varnished.
About the spot UV, yours sound fine, all it is is an extra process on top of the CMYK printing of the poster. Rather than putting a colour down (in the specific area) a shiny varnish is applied to the area making it glossier/shiner than the rest of the poster. I'm not sure what you mean by mylar glossiness but that's how I think these glossy logo posters were printed.
-
Ok - cheers sir.
Where did you get the date-less version from?
And have you seen the October 31 version?
Cheers.
-
Sorry to side track the discussion...Are those Quantums UK or US One Sheets...I'm asking cause mine has a blue sky...
-
Never mind...I just saw your reference to US....move along.
-
Ahhh, forgot about the dateless version... I got mine from a seller on ebay, the only place I've seen it.
After about two weeks and it hadn't arrived I contacted the seller, they were surprised it hadn't turned up, so a week later they sent another one! Now it was getting close to the ebay complaint cut off time so I let the seller know I'd have to file it (I think that would have been tomorrow) and they said no worries if the second didn't arrive they'll just refund my money. A tube arrived on Saturday with the poster in it!
I'll pm you with the sellers information Simes, maybe he's got another one.
-
Ok cheers - if the second one turns up, I will buy it from you.
Also, the October 31st dated poster...? A seller called Cartoon has them.
S.
-
I have a vague recollection seeing one dated October 31 but not sure where. I just searched for Cartoon on ebay '.com' and '.co.uk' but couldn't find the seller. I'll keep my eye out for one now and let you know if it turns up.
TBH I was not looking at collecting all the various versions of this poster, it just looks like it because one seller sent me 3 for the price of 1! :D

Perhaps this is a little ahead of the game, but does anyone who works in these fields know whether there is going to be an advance teaser for Skyfall - rather like there was for Quantum that had a total of three posters for it.
So a sort of advert for the fact that the film has commenced production.
Cheers.
-
Other than any promotional artwork you might find in trade magazines I doubt you will find anything official yet.
However, as next year marks the 50th anniversary of the 'cinematic' adventures of 007 I very much suspect Sony will be preparing quite an extensive advertising campaign throughout the build-up to release, especially considering the high calibre cast they've assembled which might warrant several character posters.
I expect the first teaser trailer (and poster) will probably appear with the Sony release of Men in Black 3 in May and the final trailer possibly with Total Recall in August.
-
Yup - normally I would have said the same.
Which might then make Quantum an anomoly with its first poster released at the very beginning of filming.

Nice update. What does 'Marler Hayley' mean?

Nice update. What does 'Marler Hayley' mean?
Marler Haley is a display company based in the UK.
They produced their own displays consisting of a UK Quad and 4 UK Double Crowns for Odeon Cinemas in the UK.
The sets ran from Diamonds Are Forever through to A View To A Kill.
-
And needless to add, they are all quite rare (even if they are ugly!).

Wish I had all the sets from all the movies!
It's the different posters like the Marler Haley sets that interests me the most!
Some of them might be ugly, but they are great fascinating in my opinion!

And here are the images for the complete Octopussy set. 1 Quad with 10x8 stills with the credits removed (they must have been a special set), plus the four DCs.
Cheers.

You still need to send these individual images, Simes, so I can get them on the website ;D
The quad doesn't usually contain the credits from what I have seen.
Best,
Adam
-
Yeah, I know. I am not looking forward to it as the stills glued to the poster will make it a right ball ache to keep flat. The DCs will be no problem.
As for credits, I guess there wouldn't be a need for them on the Marler quad as it would always be displayed as six posters, the main quad front and centre and providing the credits. At least that is how I saw them displayed.
Cheers.

I had a quick look tonight at the US Pressbook - nothing in there about Esso tie ins.
Indeed, even though this was the biggest P/b by far for the Bond series, it was all posters and blocks. There were absolutely no advertised company tie ins listed whatsoever.
Doesn't look as though this will go any further.
(Although, stupidly, I didn't look at my UK Campaign book... This weekend.)
-
Are you talking about the Casino Royale French Petite, Simes?
Ad
-
Yup.
Trying to figure whether the line, 'put a tiger in your car' has any relevance to the Esso ad of the time.
-
The tagline here in the US was "Put a Tiger in Your Tank"
-
The tagline here in the US was "Put a Tiger in Your Tank"
It was the same here in the U.K. Tank, NOT car...
-
So maybe no relevance at all.
-
Maybe it's advertising without mentioning "Esso" a bit subtle.... As I remember it was a huge and very popular campaign at the time. It even got me into trouble...
My parents had filled up the tank at the Esso garage, and I'd (as a 6/7 year old ) had asked the garage fellow if we now had a Tiger in our tank, which he'd said yes of course. I was soon bragging to Elaine, my best friend that we had a tiger in our tank. Show me she said, so I went up to the car and took off the petrol cap... We couldn't hear or see it, but she said I'll bet it's hungry, so after several trips to the kitchen, we had filled the tank with as many ginger biscuits as I could get hold of. We were followed by my Mother, who was wondering why we were in and out, and going through so many biscuits.....
I do remember the Mechanic who came to strip off the Petrol tank and tried to clean out all the fuel lines and Carburettor. I was made to watch, and given a right good talking to. The car never ran right after that, so they tell me, I do remember being very disillusioned, and disappointed we didn't have a Tiger. Maybe that's why they stopped the campaign, I know my parents complained at the garage.
I've wanted a real Tiger ever since....

Taking this from another section....
What do you guys think... I'm about to buy this...
(http://static.zoovy.com/img/redford/W414-H414-Bffffff/4/461720_1020_a.jpg)
There are 3 versions of this poster, blue (pictured), red and purple. The purple, which I couldn't find a picture of, is the one I'm about to buy. It's also much rarer than the blue one. Mint condition, $1,500.
Opinions?

Yep, Thierry, it's a good deal at $1500 and it's a hell of a poster. (Of course, me being a cheapie I'd buy the later re-release):

I saw another single sided version with no month or day of release on it (bottom left below) and as I'd never seen that version (and was intrigued) I bought it. So here we have four posters for the same film, all with credits (some rated some not) and the same image (although cropped differently on a couple).
This is my favourite, always good to have a poster without a tagline at the bottom saying when the films being released (imo)...
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/12008JamesBondQuantumOfSolaceMoviePoster160574405324photo.jpg)
I have had a busy month buying up posters which, while the images have been seen countless times, have had a number of variations to them, most of which have been exhibited on Bondposters’ site.
I am thinking of the four Moonraker Teaser 1 Sheets, some Licence to Kill and Living Daylights posters, some of which I was aware of but a lot, I was not.
Anyway, that was eclipsed by the part quoted story above where Ian (AP) told us about the four variations of the Quantum of Solace poster. Artistic appreciations for this film aside, Ian’s poster write up was detailed and complete. There may have been one missing poster, that of an oft advertised October 31st poster but this turned out to be either not true as an original poster or was more often sold as a reprint of some sort.
The jewel in the crown it turned out though was this date-less poster which, try as I have done, I have not seen anywhere else.
I am writing this here as opposed to in the ‘What have you bought this month’ thread because, in an astonishing example of unsurpassable altruism, Ian sold his one and favourite copy to me! In an act of supreme selflessness, he recognised in me the interest and said ok. And this is to say Thank You.
Also, it should be said that if anyone has reason to buy or receive a poster from Ian, he packs for England. Consider the irony; his bomb proof, bullet proof, end of the world proof packing had the words Fragile liberally plastered all over the wrapping.
All the best sir.

Does such altruism encourage you to sell lobby cards..??

All that you say about Ian (Agent Provocateur) is on the money. Ian recently offered to help me find and acquire a poster that I wanted. It just arrived a day or so ago, packaged to a 'T." A totally selfless act of kindness by a fellow collector. Thank you, Ian!
I would be remiss if I didn't mention -- and properly thank -- three other blokes from across the pond who helped me out immeasurably in recent days -- Stew, Tob and Mark Lawd.
If any of you chaps need anything from the States -- I am at your service.

Yes, there was nothing Fragile about his packing. I could have beaten someone senseless with it and still the poster inside would have remained as pristine as the day it rolled off the printers.

Erm, quoting the Bonhams thread, it may be that I need help getting something delivered from Sunset Blvd to the UK at something less than a hundred million dollars... Not sure if this is your locale.

Is that a studio/cinema poster? Or is it a commerical poster?
-
Yeah, what is that exactly, Simes?
-
Well - not sure really.
It has appeared on the 007.com site. It is a strange format so not sure if indeed it will be actually printed. However, they're calling it a poster, hence my obligation to bung it up here.

Mel's going to hate that, look at all the wasted space.... So, put me down for one if they become available.... ;)

Well done homage to the Goldfinger quad.
My bet is that Fox Home Video offers them for sale at some point.

Nice, classy poster though. Perhaps the image will form the basis of an ad campaign if there are plans to show any of these in the cinema over the next twelve months.

The One Sheet has not been released as yet.
The Royal Mail is not selling a quad poster.
The Royal Mail is releasing a commemorative stamp sheet. There's a huge difference.
It will look possibly similar to this Halley's Comet version that was released a couple of years ago:

A tad harsh Ad, as Mel is not from the UK, he probably just assumed that 'sheet' referred to a poster and not a sheet of stamps. I doubt he is trying to mislead people!

Nice Mel! Its great for a non bond guys like me. I enjoyed them...
-
Quality work Mel, really like the individual movie section designs.
-
I have had a lot of personal problems in my life recently, and to hear from other members outside of this forum (who shall remain nameless) of Mel's idiotic and downright shameful behaviour towards me yet again is of no surprise. It is also extremely disappointing that Mel once more has attacked someone on a personal level.
I corrected a few "facts" Mel had clearly stated as apparent "fact".
Someone saying that it was harsh because Mel is not from the UK is rather naive, I must apologise if this is not what you want to hear, but such is Mel's own knowledge of this hobby (this cannot be argued with as we all know what he is like). Almost everything Mel says on this forum, and others, is "fact" - this is wrong as it misleads people. We have all seen this.
I must say that I fail to see the point of Mel's personal attacks (yet again).
I am rather amused by his antics.
I actually feel sorry for him. I pity him.
It is people like Mel who go out of their way to dislodge and defame others who correct their own wrongs.
I suppose it all boils down to Mel's neediness to be loved and be famed for being the Almighty.
I suppose it all boils down to Mel's attention-seeking nature.
I find it very, very sad that someone, whether it is Mel or another, will go out of their way taking screen-shots of web pages, of auctions, of anything, and then go about writing diatribe that not only harms the person they are writing about but also themselves. Does he not understand this? Does he not understand that the internet records everything you say on it?
How can one person get so involved with their own ego that they think attacking someone else is the right way to go about things?
Now Mel,
You can continue to attack me, say all the nastiness in the world (I know who likes me, I know who appreciates me, I know who does not and I know what you think of me) but know this - you do not know a thing about me apart from what you read on this forum and what you see on my websites. You do not know about any part of my life to attack me on it in any personally informed manner, despite me even providing you the opportunity to do so.
I have never, do not, and will never hold myself in higher regard as a complete person against you or anyone else on this planet.
I am not better than you.
You are not better than me.
I am more mature than you.
You more immature than me.
You are better at law than me.
I am worse at law than you.
But we are still the same.
You need to get to grips with how you interact with the wider world because you never know who or what is around the corner.
And please, for the sake of your own self, grow up and begin to realise that you need help with your attitude. You need to learn when to stop. You need to learn when to fight and when not to. You need to learn the difference between discussion and attacking. You need to learn that you have upset a lot of people in this hobby. You need to learn that a lot of people don't like you for these reasons and more.
You need to take a long, hard look at yourself.
You are your own worst enemy.
What I have been told by other members and the abuse from you publicly has put me off this forum altogether. I think that is disgusting. I know I am not the only one who has said this, and so with that in mind I ask you to reconsider your position in relation to your thinking, attacks, and overall attitude to me and others as you are pushing people away from a forum and hobby that is there for everyone.
The sad thing about all this is that after everything that has happened in my life recently, I have finally come to the realisation that, you know what, I don't need this.
I don't care any longer.
I have the support of those who matter most.
I'm sorry everyone, but I've had enough of this place.
I cannot continue to play a part in a forum where I will be continually attacked on a personal level over my posts and/or my corrections of so-called "facts" without the direct intervention of the forum administrators.
If anyone wishes to contact me, then please do not hesitate to write me or call me:
bondposters@hotmail.com
Thank you, and all the best to those who have supported me on this forum from the very beginning to now, I really do appreciate it.

That was me - I don't think it was naive, Mel seemed to make a genuine mistake in reading about a sheet featuring Bond posters and thinking that 'a sheet' referred to a poster and not a sheet of stamps.
Anyway, I can see now that there's some history here, so I'll leave it at that as I don't really want to get tangled up. I hope your personal problems get better soon and hopefully you'll be posting again in the future.
-
All I would like to say is that it is rather sad that Adam has decided (due to personal reasons) to leave our forum.
I do hope he has a change of mind.
Mel., Adam.,
Maybe you both need a break from each other....?
There is plenty of room here for both of you.
Regards
Stew

Adam, you just can't contain your inner crazy. A couple of months ago you were all friendly - "have a great time in London!" (See the below email.) Then a week ago - out of the blue and for no logical reason - you made the inane charge that I was deliberately "misleading" forum members about some silly Bond 50th poster. Everybody else knows I got in a rush and posted some incorrect information in good faith.
Sadly, it's totally typical of your bizarre behavior. Like several others here, I received dozens of wacky emails from you calling me "diabolically evil" until I finally had to cut you off. Unlike Thierry, I refused to "apologise" to you and you've been fuming and making smarmy posts about it for two years.
You'll probably be back soon enough but if you don't come back, it's no loss since you're not really a collector - you just took credit for your Dad's posters - and you haven't contributed to this forum. You mostly pimped your poster sales and started fights with others, mostly me.

Drama: Something women and especialy teenage girls thrive on. Consisting of any number of situations that have an easy solution, wich would bring a fairly good outcome, but these girls choose another, shitty, bad way to deal with it, again consisting of backstabbing, blackmailing/gossiping/betraying their friends, or the all-too-common "I want to break up with him but i still love him!" It drives men and what i like to call "normal" girls nuts.

That isn't fair to women T. I fucking hate drama more than anybody, but I know just as many men who partake. Case in point...

I finished the James Bond webpage on MoviePosterCollectors (http://www.moviepostercollectors.com/James-Bond.html). It is the "web page from hell" as far as size (8mb) and takes 30 seconds to download but it is visually striking and unlike anything else on the web, which was my goal. Now I'll do the same thing for Star Wars when I get motivated....

No, that's a link to the official James Bond website (007.com). IMHO Adam's site is seriously off track with banner advertising all over the website, non-poster Bond memorabilia, and microscopic pictures of posters with "Bondposters" pasted all over them, etc.
He is also completely confused about copyright and fair use (which doesn't even apply in UK, by the way):
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/2012/BP.png)
The correct analysis is on Photolaw.net's FAQs on Copyright Law (http://www.photolaw.net/common-questions-and-answers-about-copyright.html):
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/2012/Copyright.jpg)
So physical ownership of a poster is totally irrelevant for copyright purposes and you have no legal right whatsoever to "donate" a picture of your James Bond poster to a site like Bondposters.com.
"Fair use" is absolutely the key in this hobby. If fair use didn't apply, we couldn't take pictures of our posters and couldn't post them on forums or on our own websites. (This rule applies to me as well of course. I have 67 original Bond posters and have exactly the same rights - zero - as someone owning no Bond posters to post copyrighted posters.):

You could set up any number of pseudonyms, Im sure. What I am saying is that once you are approved and registered as a member, that date is "stamped" on your profile page. That you cannot change. If you set up an alias user name today, and you were approved by T or Holiday today as well, your profile would reflect today's date as your registration date.
(The other option would be that he set up this second alias in Sept, and has never used it to post until now. Seems unlikely, but anything is possible).

I cannot continue to play a part in a forum where I will be continually attacked on a personal level over my posts and/or my corrections of so-called "facts" without the direct intervention of the forum administrators.
Sorry, Ad, but this is re-fucking-diculous. From the get, forums are public places where, by definition, if you post, you can expect everyone to comment. Posting invites commentary. If you don't want commentary, then don't post. That goes for everyone here, including me and Thierry. That said, you're mouth had better not write checks that your ass can't cash if you are going to participate here.
Last thing. THIERRY AND I ARE NOT BABYSITTERS! (Actually, I wrote that we are not "fucking" babysitters at first, but that would be all kinds of wrong). I don't know what you had in mind about the "direct intervention" of the forum administrators, but if your continued participation is contingent on that, then by all means, DON'T PARTICIPATE.
I am at an end with your long-winded posts in which you just whine and whine about the disservice that this forum has supposedly caused you because we supposedly allow others to attack you. If you stop saying stupid shit, no one will attack you. It's pretty simple. So, if you want to participate, then do so with full knowledge that this is a PUBLIC forum and that our 4,232 members (oh, sorry, I thought I was Andy there for a minute) will be watching. If you don't want to participate, then don't. But please, don't play the faint hearted fool. It is not becoming.

Well said Matt, Ad's been...
harangued for saying he had the best Bond poster collection.
Taken apart for not posting photos of said collection.
Got a bit of love and a few apologies for starting to post the collection.
Laughed at for posting long messages explaining himself and giving some people a bit of abuse back.
Totally dismissed for inheriting the collection... and wtf is that all about, whether bought, begged, borrowed or stolen it's still your collection imo!
Character assassination, bullying and abuse is 90% of what I've seen heading in Ad's direction for the past year or so, I'm not sure how people expect Ad to react to this continuous vitriol (now that word sums up many posts aimed at him) but I for one would be very unhappy to be on the receiving end for such a length of time.
I know exactly where Eatbrie and Holiday are coming from when they say this isn't a frigging kindergarten... if you're going to post be prepared for whatever comes your way otherwise don't bother. I totally agree, but getting personal on the level that has underpinned this whole cluster fuck imo is wrong.
I'll probably regret posting this, but hey bring it on :(
-

You're absolutely right, it's HIS collection, no doubt. I was one of the early detractors, I ended up being wrong and I apologized for it. This said, when something is gifted to you, a little humility goes a long way and would have served Adam well.
And if Mel has gone overboard with this, Adam's victimized misdemeanor has done nothing but exacerbate the conflict. Have a little back bone, for heaven's sake.

There is a line that can be crossed when it comes to getting personal. The post that I read from bondbaby crossed that line, and was deleted. It's never gotten that close respecting Ad. Personally, I have been a supporter of Ad from the beginning, and I continue to be a supporter. That does not mean that I can't call him out for being whiney. I would do the same thing with a friend outside of cyberspace. Ad has consistently shown is tissue-thin skin during discourse.
For what it's worth, I have been on the receiving end of harsh words on a forum, both in this forum, and on NS4. I don't think I did anything to warrant the attacks, and for a time I also said "screw this" and left the forums. Then I realized - THIS IS A FORUM! What the fuck do I care if someone does not say what I like? That helped put things in perspective. To date, Ad has not done so, and as a result, every little word that would cause one to wince, accumulates on Ad to the point that he cannot handle it any longer. I hope he comes back, too. But, this would not be the first time that someone left the forum.
You should know that he has not asked us to delete his account, so the account was and will remain active. He's welcome to participate at any time.
-
I agree with both of you that Adam's responses may not have done him any favours, victimsed and whiney as you put it, but there's all sorts of people in this world and not everyone will be as precise, eloquent and to the point as we'd like. Just imagine if we were all balshy, argumental and forthright, it'd be a battle field in every thread. Admittedly, Eatbrie when you mentioned the word humility I did have to hold my hand up and agree wholeheartedly.
All of us on here are passionate about film posters, this saga reminds me of a conversation I had with Mrs AP about arguments, when we looked back on our favourites we realised the actual argument was about nothing, and realised at the time we probably just wanted realise some of the pent up angst in our heads ;D
This whole dialogue stems from Ads alluding to having the best Bond poster collection and not showing/proving it... people get pissed off... he starts posting images of posters from his collection thus proving he does have an above average Bond poster collection... people still seem to have a beef with him. The original argument has been disproved yet no air has been cleared and their is still animosity from both sides.
Amateur phychologist I'm not so apologies for another post on the subject, I just can't figure why this has carried on when the original point to the animosity has been disproved and damn it we're all here for the same reason!
I'll be shutting up now :-X
-
Adam posted one pic of "his" Goldfinger subway poster plus a few pics of some magazine ads. He has never substantiated "his"collection or shown that it is anything special. If he has security or other legitimate reasons not to publicly reveal his collection he must articulate them rather than get defensive. Otherwise he should not be bragging about his collection.
Without trying to brag, I have 1200 posters and I could take and post a few pics and substantiate the scope of my collection in 30 minutes.
P.S. Of course his "love affair with Bond posters" is nothing compared to the love affair between our forum overlords....
-
Well, you guys are missing a piece of the puzzle here. Holiday and I got an email from Adam yesterday asking us to intervene in his ongoing conflicts, which led Holiday to answer that he was not a fucking babysitter. Adam can chose to stay, chose to leave, it doesn't make a dam difference to me. But if he wants to cry, complain or argue, he needs to it himself. You guys already know what we think on the matter, the rest is up to him.

Jesus Mel. In addition to the Goldfinger subway, Adam posted at least 2 quads no one had ever heard of before (YOLT yellow advance, TSWLM calendar advance) and plenty more that I knew of but that there were no images of online (Seiko Moonraker for one). He also posted tons of other posters as well, Japanese, DCs, and yes, trade ad and rare advertisement posters too. His collection was not limited to movie posters only. His collection exists and was seen by at least one forum member who visited Adam personally. He also documented the rarest of the rare for us. Quit trying to rewrite history to fit the fucked up justification for this epic battle you have made up in your head.
AP is 100% correct. The point of the arguement is now moot... all that remains is you arguing.
And it is indeed his collection. Not "his" collection. eyeroll

Yeah that is a "corner piece" there... Holiday's post makes much more sense now... Was this guy sheltered or something. He acts like one of those home schooled brats that doesn't know any better... Like he was just born to the world and isn't comfortable in it... He's pretty young right?

Have not seen it myself yet but starting to think it might be a generic image that will be used for promotional purposes later in the year for various products such as compilation cd's etc.
Still hope it comes out as a quad though!

i asked a friend of mine and it had not been released yet by all accounts?

Hi,
Has anyone actually seen in person the Anniversary poster yet?
Or do we think it is an online thing only?
simes..you may be right,,nothing is coming out of Park Circus regarding it.
Stew

Park Circus will have nothing to do with this. Their interests lie in occasional re-releases, not new release which is Eon's and MGM/Sony' interests.

An uncommon rolled Moonraker international one sheet that sold recently. IMHO it's inferior to the other versions - the space setting doesn't mesh well with the scenes on Earth - but certainly well worth snagging if you can find it:

Never saw that one before.
Does anyone here own one?

Shame Adam wasn't here. He could answer the Anniversary question, and he's probably got that Moonraker.....
-
Never saw that one before.
Does anyone here own one?
I do. Folded though. But since it's been sitting at the bottom of one of my drawers for years, with more than 400 posters on top of it, it should be pretty flat by now.

Yup - but folded.

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 ;D

Outstanding!!!

Well done Harry, just shows what a bit of patience, and some searching can do. happy1 first rate piece.

As someone who has just picked up the Park Circus Russia quad, I am in equal parts happy for you and envious.
I just can't ever imagine picking this one up in 'true' form. As you say, it is a beautiful poster.
Cheers.

Great quad congrats, looks great on the wall, are you planning to leave as it is or will you be getting it restored at some point.

IMO, one of the most beautiful of Bond posters!
Gratz Matt!
It is beautiful. Phone camera or not it looks fantastic on your wall.
I agree it is one of the best. I know. I have the Bond poster book. :P 8)

Massive congrats Matt. The best Bond poster of all time, IMO.

Poster coup d'etat, indeed, HC!
For the rest of us poster mortals, the Italian posters are the best alternative to the UK quad. Here's the 2P:

Thanks for the kind words all! As you can imagine I'm equally blown away by this one.
Great quad congrats, looks great on the wall, are you planning to leave as it is or will you be getting it restored at some point.
Not a chance. When I set out to start a Bond quad collection, I decided early on to go for only unbacked posters. I knew that would be easy enough for everything but the Connerys... but you never know what you'll find! Those cell pics from last night are really terrible... here is another shot (also with a cell unfortunately) using daylight -- indirect of course! I also sharpened it a touch so you can see the flaws better. It's really not too bad. Some rough folds and it has heavy use in the corners (with small bits missing in a few cases). However, I would choose this one every time over a NM backed one. I'm not totally against linen backing, but in the case of my Bond collection I'm trying to stay au naturale...

That is a great poster... but what were they doing showing less of Daniela's cleavage? Being Italians, I figured there would be more, not less! ;D

Glad to see it showed up safely Matt and congrats from me as well!

On second glance it is clear that someone redrew the British quad images for the Italian posters. They are similar but clearly distinguishable (and the quad is clearly better IMHO).
Sim Branaghan's book "British Film Posters" profiles Renato Fratini, the Italian illustrator of the quad. The book says he is considered "the greatest British poster artist" whose "technical ability was unsurpassed." Eventually he was the highest paid film poster artist. He lived life in the fast lane, which caught up to him when he died of a heart attack at 40(!) in 1973.

I believe you've made the right decision, I've sometimes thought I should get my Dr. No quad backed but then I realise that its lasted in its condition for 50 years so all its flaws are part of its history and adds a certain charm. I guess I'm starting to appreciate the patina that come with old posters.

This is the pic I found of Matt turning the internet upside down and inside out for his FRWL quad:
(http://www.chud.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Sax.png)
You are the Indiana Jones of poster collectors, my man...and your intuitive sense of research, timing, and patience pays off usually but in this example, you hit the Mega Millions. Really glad you got it, it went to the right collection.
While several have chimed in offering their high fives, I am a bit taken back that this thread hasn't exploded in congratulatory praise, especially from other members who haven't posted yet. This is a find, even without knowing what you paid on the lot, that rivals any in all the years I have been a part of the vocal poster community in the MPF and now here. I will speak for the silent folks though: they wish they had it. :)
Congrats, such a wonderful poster, a true unicorn... cheers

Thanks man! That pretty much sums up how I feel as well. :)

Sure is a beaut, as is that Dr No above. Great posters.
I came close to buying a few nice posters off a guy a few months back, but he was offered a FRWL quad for a large chunk of his collection and he went for it...can't say I blame him, it's a real beauty.
-
The only caveat I find to not getting older posters restored and linen backed is that the acids already in the paper, I understand, will continue to cause the paper problems.
The linen backing process, I again understand, arrests that, brings out the colours and preserves.
But anyway, now there are two posters I can't imagine ever owning in the same thread.
-
I'd love to get an unbacked From Russia With Love one day so I'm pleased Matt has ticked this off his wants list. I turned down the opportunity of getting an unfolded near mint copy for £3000 about three years ago - I now wished I hadn't. And that Moonraker "Seiko" quad - I had no idea that was a rare style. This and the "non-Seiko" version were offered in a Cameo auction a year or two ago. I just bid on (and won) the non-seiko - they both went for the same price.

I don't think it is crazy rare, but I've only ever seen a handful. And just because it is rare doesn't mean it is valuable... just one of those oddball printings for the completists to fight over. Which, I'm sadly becoming!

Good job HC!
That is a little bit different than your now-deleted reply! ;)

Harry,Glad you managed to get a hold of a Unicorn,I held back because I`m not a fan of Bond,so any thanks from me would be a touch hollow...but I do understand how great you must be feeling now !..now..any time you sniff on a Silent Running quad..let me know.... thumbup

Nice thread, very intersting stuff.
I didn't see the German posters, so here are some.
I also included some of my favorite lc's (here in Germany the prices
for those glossy lc's went sky-high. Up to $400 - $500. For certain
single cards! And the sets are huge, up to 34 cards ..).
DR.NO is a 1960s re-release 1-sh. All others are first release.
Missing are, as far as i Know, DR.NO (1-sh + double panel), RUSSIA (double panel),
GOLDFINGER (double panel), YOLT (Advance), OHMSS (C-Style).

This portion of the Moonraker 1-stop (http://www.emovieposter.com/imagearchive/poster/346140.html) looks pretty good as a one sheet (it's still in one piece, just have it tri-folded horizontally, so it's like getting three 1 sheet posters):

First time I've seen this "premiere" poster for Casino Royale, which references the February 1967 Playboy issue. (According to IMDB, the premiere was April 19, 1967, 9 days before the national opening). It's subway-sized (58"x44") and has art similar to the Spanish one sheet (http://www.movieposterdb.com/poster/cb4e47de):

My thoughts exactly. He should be crouched, pointing the gun.
I know he's a tough guy, but Craig looks like a nerd in this pic.
I would've thought they'd do something better.
-
I like the tunnel as it's classic Bond imagery from the opening credits, but Craig looks all wrong...it would have been better with Bond as a silhouette or having him partly obscured in some way to add some mystery...the marketing gimps probably demanded Craig's craggy face in full effect though.
-
Craig looks like he should be playing Bond's chauffeur or porter. ;)
He doesnt fit the Bond image any better than Timothy Dalton did, IMO.

I very much like Craig as an actor( Road to Perdition) and I think he did an excellent job in Casino Royale (QoS sucked ass) but you nailed it. His face is far too preeminent in that poster.

This December Skyfall supposedly is being "recalled" because the release date has been changed to November:

Also posted in "Recalled" posters thread....

Yes, it seems the list of the US teaser posters so far are;
December
November Imax
November 2012
There are other stock images used on ebay sales but they are Coming Soon and Coming 2012, which don't seem to exist as posters - yet, or as far as I know.
Then there is the October 26 Uk version in quad and 1 Sheet versions.
I think those are all the versions I have come across thus far.

A couple of really cool wacky James Bond promo items from the 1960s:

2h069 LOT OF 2 JAMES BOND PROMO ITEMS FROM THE 1960s '60s cool decal & secret agent code book!
Description of Lot: a lot of 2 James Bond promo items from the 1960s. These are really cool! One is an 8" x 10" decal with the classic 007 symbol that surely dates from the 1960s (our consignor believes it was a "water-release" decal). The other is a "booby-trap" exploding code book (it is held shut with a pencil at the spine, and when you remove the pencil, you can open the book, but a tiny hidden cap gun is triggered and it makes a loud noise (if it is loaded with a cap). Both items come from the collection of a studio executive who acquired them in the 1960s, and we are certain they are authentic.

I had been in touch with this guy to explain the deal - he hasn't actually said they aren't original, just hinted.
Oh well.
-
It says Original in his title, some may not have read the description.... Or don't know the difference!!
and the prices although low for those bonds if Originals, are still very high for a re-pro, I think they were £7.99 to buy last time I saw any at a Fair, so very expensive... and you have someone believing they have bought an Original, Most Shoddy.

There are some new Skyfall posters out. Character things plus a quad in the UK for a semi reclining sort of pose.
Such is my dismay though, that I am not posting them up here for fear I appear to be actually condoning this sort of behaviour.
Film sites and ebay uk have them.
-
If anyone is interested or thinking about it, the new James Bond, 50 Years of Movie Posters book is a real cracker.
Many many unused poster concepts that I have not seen before.
Superb.
Wouldn't mind going through it in discussion with others on these boards for information and clarification if anyone else already has it.
-
Simes - is that the DK book that comes with the 'art prints'? Sounds good, do you recommend a purchase then? Is it quite comprehensive?
Speaking of Bond, have you pre-ordered this?
http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/film/all/00399/facts.the_james_bond_archives.htm
I have the Kubrick archives and it's absolutely beautiful, so I think this will be equally as impressive. Taschen do make some mighty fine books. WHSmiths seem to have it for a decent pre-order price - http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=9783836521055
-
One and the same sir, yes.
Wholeheartedly recommended. £22 from Amazon, it really is a steal - a massive great thing that comes in its own card box surround.
As for other books, I haven't ordered any others as yet, there really are just so many coming out this year and I will not be getting all of them - contrary to the poster collecting habits. However, I wil be looking at the Archives, the Moore retrospective, a Music of Bond and also a Terry O'Neil photo book, the last of which has an exhibition in October in the Chelsea Proud Gallery, London.
-
I'm definitely going to pick up both the poster book and the archives. Tob, like you I have the Stanley Kubrick book and it's incredible so I have high hopes for the Bond Archives - thanks for the heads up on that pre-order price!
-
Cheers Simes, you've convinced me...I think I'm going to order it this weekend
Ed, the Kubrick archives is fantastic - I only have the smaller sized edition (what an absolute bargain that is), I stupidly passed on the larger size when it was released due to the price and then it went out of print shortly after I changed my mind. I hope they release the Bergman and Almodovar versions in the smaller size as I can't really justify buying them, but would love to have a good read of them. I think I'll ask wifey for the Bond archive book as an Xmas present.
We need a thread on here for film related books! Or is there one already?
-
V3 quad is out. Ugh. This is the worst poster campaign I can remember... and QOS is a tough one to beat!
That said, I need one if any one can get one ;)
-
Absolutely the worst - maybe even the worst in poster history, not just Bond history. And on the 50th anniversary, with the accompanying film DP'd by Roger Deakins, with a poster book released to offer retrospectives on poster Design.
Terrible.
Rumour abounds that there will be a forth quad that also announces Adele's participation. Whether this will be a new design or not is unknown.
Breath remains unheld.
The Lying Down 1 sheet version has three versions so far. October, November November 9.
-
Third quad is pretty poor...although not any worse than the lying down one I suppose!
For you Bond completists, saw this article yesterday...

50 YEARS OF JAMES BOND: THE AUCTION (ON LINE) (http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/memorabilia/thunderball-5602494-details.aspx?from=salesummary&intObjectID=5602494)
The Thunderball Door Panels sold today.
With a very low estimate of £6,000 - £8,000, they finally sold for £26,000.
About right in my opinion.

Wow. $41K. Not bad.
-
Man those prices are ridiculous... Great thing for UNICEF...
I agree in the most part.
The mega rich will have been buying those items because of the charity link, but for the door panels I suspect a well-informed collector rather than a rich chancer will have bought them.
It's a shame that the auction didn't feature more posters.
But then again, there is a 50th Anniversary auction in November albeit not as big.

I must say, the artwork for the advertising campaign this time around has not been the best.
The teaser artwork was nice, paying homage to the gun sight so associated with Bond, but the rest, well, I just don't understand how the artwork was passed.
The agency behind the campaign did not do a good job in my opinion. I could go on, but I am guessing what I would say has already been said in earlier postings.
However, I would like to express my opinion that with the money, cast and crew that has been thrown at Skyfall a fantastic advertising (poster) campaign was expected.

Maybe. What if the £250 ones were being offered by tloce?
-
I know who the seller was of the £250.00 BINs.
I also know he sold his final copy for £400.00.
-
I don't think the £250 posters were available at the time of the £366, looking at timelines.
Fantastically, it appears the chap who bought the £366 also bought the £400 poster, but then later sold the latter for £500. It appears order is restored to the universe!
I think to date, only four have popped up on ebay and this poster may have a similar ride to that of the Park Circus Russia poster in time to come.
-
Simes - fully agreed.
I was talking to the guy who was responsible for a lot of the photography and interviews for the documentary and even he said the posters are incredibly hard to get hold of.
-
they may be rare, but essentially its a new documentary and not an actual bond movie. I cant believe the prices will stay this high?
-
Picked this up today.

Nice find, Simes!

Was watching that one on eBay... Nice pick up! cheers

Cheers fellas.
I had personally never seen this poster before. The second one, yes. But this one with the boxes around the text, and the curtailed legs and feet, and the placing of another girl...
-
Simes, really good buy my friend.
Prices are a little inflated at the moment due to Skyfall, but with regards to that poster I think it is about right in my opinion cool1
Also, I thought you guys might be interested in my latest update:
Bondposters.com Update (http://www.bondposters.com/Home.php)
Taken a while to get this sorted.

I have a UK DC that says something like 'Connery is Bond'... It's a text poster in red and black on white paper. Does anyone know which movie that one is from? Thanks!

Depending on the font that was used my best guess would be 'You Only Live Twice'

It could also be from Diamonds, Paul.

Thanks Adam and Paul. Unfortunately I don't have a photo handy. I've decided to stick exclusively to Bond quads so I just packed up my only three DCs and sent them off for Bruce's upcoming Bond auction. However, while two have the title on them, this last one didn't and I was unsure if Bruce would know what film it was from. I looked around online and in my James Bond poster book, but I haven't come across it yet. Maybe I can get Bruce to send me a photo so we can identify it before the auction goes live...
Did they issue black/red/white text-only DCs for re-releases as well? Of the other two DCs I have, one is an original release OHMSS with just black/white/red text and the other is this YOLT re-release:
(http://www.bondposters.com/sohoadmin/plugins/viastepphotogallery/images/premium/content/646.jpg)
However, that one above looks like the re-release posters I've seen (usually based on the double bill art). I don't think I've come across a red/black/white DC that was used for a re-release yet...
As for your guesses, I was thinking either YOLT or Diamonds as well. It doesn't look like the early DCs I've seen (better quality printing than the red/back/white FRWL DCs). That said, I was surprised about the "Connery is Bond" tagline... that made me think maybe Diamonds after his return.
-
The only time I'm aware they went with the 'Connery Is Bond' tagline was on the YOLT campaign which by all accounts infuriated Connery. When he returned with Diamonds Are Forever they played safe with 'as Bond' on the majority of the posters with the exception (AFAIK) of the UK Marler Haley quad.
I'd definitely love to see a picture of your DC Matt and whatever you can find on the subject Adam. It's not often you see unusual/unseen Bond posters nowadays so it's always a pleasure to see something different.
Paul.
-
Well, I've asked Bruce for a picture so maybe we'll see it soon. And I guess you'll have the rare chance of owning it soon as well! It's going up for sale in Bruce's bond auction. I decided that it's hard enough tracking down all the quads, I don't need to tear my hair out on the double crowns as well.

Ask for exact measurements AND if the reverse is lighter than front, or obverse as I call it.
(Assuming it's double sided).

That talented poster artist has apparently not sold a single drawing yet, judging by his/her seller feedback.
Maybe Ari could comission him/her to finish the rest of the CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST poster where only the bottom left exists (UK VHS cover).

No intention to make anyone jealous, especially of something clearly left of field and intended for completists only.
I can ask around sir.

With so many attempts you'd think could have gotten just one with a great design! Then again, I don't think there have been any even mediocre Bond quads since the drawn ones that ended with Dalton.

By the way, the more I look at it the more I think Bruce pegged this one correctly. The 007/gun logo looks the same as on the other DAF posters. And as we've discussed, it would make sense to remind folks that Connery is back.
And as an aside... you Bond daybill collectors are f*#king crazy. $2K+ for both Dr. No and FRWL on the first day of bidding? Nuts!
-
Thanks much guys! If we had had more time, we could have been even more complete on the somewhat "common" items.
I knew we would never get the super-rarities that make the Bond specialists go crazy, but I agree we did a really good job in assembling a fine assortment!
-
The AS is the clue on this one Harry, Connery was always billed "IS Bond" it was later when he was sick of only been known for being Bond, Connery asked them to be changed to "AS", which is also why there are some YOLT Quads with a sticker over the is, saying as... and don't forget the re-issue Goldfinger Quad....Other Bond purists claim it was because Connery wasn't the "current" Bond, so they were changed to As. I was always more inclined to believe the first story as Connery to Bond is like Chris Lee to Dracula... It's the parts that made them, but they later didn't want to be associated with the parts, as they were much more versatile actors than the one part..( sarcasm doesn't come over well in print..) ;)
-
Thanks for the clarification Paul.
and don't forget the re-issue Goldfinger Quad....
There is a reissue (non-double-bill) GF quad?
-
Yes Harry, it's almost the same bar a bit of jiggling on the credits. If I remember right Shirley Eaton gets a mention on it..!! Connery has it worded, as and not is... I'm sure one of the Bond guys has a pic of it? I've turned it down a few time myself, in hind-sight should have picked it up...
-
(http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss348/frankenstein31_photos/goldfingerreissue.jpg)
Or I could post it..... ;)
-
Very interesting Paul! And it uses to the same 007/gun logo as the DAF posters as well. So presumably it was from a release around the same time?
-
It's a good bet it was re-released to cash in on the release of DAF. I'm not 100% sure of the date but I did see all the Connery Bonds around 69-72, they always seemed to be on at the Cinema, and I was at the age to be able go with a few mates, without parental supervision.... ;D

I was consigned two Dr. No one-sheets for my "all James Bond" auction and one was linenbacked and one was not. Both were in really nice condition, and I listed the non-backed one, and held the other to be listed in my March 2013 mini/major.
Then, I get an email from the owner of the linen one asking why I hadn't listed his, and I replied that it was a duplicate to one had listed.
No, he said, mine is the "yellow smoke style" and you listed the "white smoke style"!
This was the first I had heard of this, and I bet a lot of you have not either. Here's the story:
"Note that there are two different (yet very similar) first release one-sheets for Dr. No, the first James Bond! One of them has a litho number of 62-2004, and that one looks incredibly like the other one, except the colors in the poster are slightly darker, and the biggest difference is that the smoke from Connery's gun is colored a yellow that matches the girl's leg (so that it is hard to realize it is smoke). The other one-sheet has a litho number of 62-2238, and the colors are clearly lighter, and the smoke from the gun has been changed to be white, so that it does NOT blend into the girl's leg! The only logical explanation for this is that the poster with the lower litho number was printed first, and then someone connected with the movie noticed that the smoke was not very visible, and they asked them to create a new one-sheet with different coloring so that the smoke would be more visible (and likely, at that time, they also asked them to lighten the colors, for whatever reason). We have checked all of the previous 1962 Dr. No one-sheets we have auctioned, and they include approximately one half of each version, so it seems that one is not more rare than the other."
So we are listing the linen one in our Part II that starts Tuesday night (only linen posters)!

Everything or Nothing UK quad for $815.00 (around £525.00) in Bruce's auction -- what do you guys think of that?
-
I did wonder if it might have gone for more but it is still a very good amount.
I think the auction overall was a huge success - hoping it was so.
-
Good times for collectors like you and I, Simes.
Bad times for newbies wanting to get into Bond poster collecting -- unless they have the available wealth like that Raziz buyer or the investigative nature of Matt!
-
Do you guy's think prices are up due to the Skyfall/50th going on, or do you think they are going to stay up...?
I'm guessing they may fall "slightly" next year, and settle back out.

No idea.
There is perhaps heightened interest but that may be reflected in more items being available for sale to cash in on said interest. But, being contrary, one Could argue that if more is available, that could deflate the prices.
But perhaps I am thinking too much.
-
A poster left of field perhaps but it is lovely and manageable.
I managed to get two from the Sky Movie promotions department (I am working at Sky at present). Kept one and the other is up on ebay.co.uk rigjt now.

Oh, nice Simes.
I thought you would get something from them lol.
Not sure I am a fan of some of the art direction, but I suppose it does away with the usual side by side depictions.
I think the price of Bond posters may well remain as is for the next few years.
2013 is the 50th anniversary of From Russia With Love.
2014 is the 50th anniversary of Goldfinger.
2015 is the 50th anniversary of Thunderball ... You get the idea.

Some bits and pieces have dropped through the door today from Bruce's Bond auction - all packed in the usual nuclear bomb blast protective type packing.
I looked at my collection today and wondered if how I have stored it compares to how Bruce packs items for transit. I think I will just get him to pack my entire collection and and consign it in perpetuity to a life in the postal system - far safer than at home with me.
Cheers Bruce and co.

In my search for some 20's Chaney stuff, I came across these. Well not just these, but....
With the current Bond trend being what it is, I'm wondering if these are worth much now.
If not they are worth a look anyway. These are from the first release's.

Oh great.

Sarcasm dosen't come over in print, or are you happy...?
-
I'm not much of a Bond fan, but those are really nice, Paul.
They look like card stock?
How big are they? Double crowns?
cheers
-
Not that big Ted, I wish they were... ;)
They are about 10x12 inches, paper is about as thick as posters from the era.
-
What does the fine print say at the top? Something-- weekly? Were these newspaper inserts by chance?

That's right Matt, Most of the best Trade ads come from Kineweekly (Kinematograph). The beauty is all the dates you need are there, very helpful.

A recent purchase here that people may find unusual or a curiosity.
(http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/4049/p1000796j.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/823/p1000796j.jpg/)
Having been interested in the marketing of the Bond films for three decades, it is an unlikelihood that something would be unearthed that would be a completely new surprise. This lobby card purchased from ebay that broke that convention; a card from the film, From Russia with Love in poor condition that used the UK artwork to the left, on a yellow background and where the main still of FOH size was in b/w. Devoid of NSS and card numbering, strange implementations of the 007 logo of the time, an A rating and only one of the four girls from the UK art in evidence, its only clue as to its origins, as suggested by Graham Rye (007 Magazine and Archive owner), was in the painting over and partial covering up of the girl in ways reminiscent of the Irish alterations to the Russia quad poster.
A specially commissioned lobby card set for the Irish market? At present, it is unknown how many cards comprised this set; the accepted eight cards or similar to the UK sets of four for both Goldfinger and Thunderball? It is also unknown what other images were used for the remaining cards.
Any clues or advice fellas?
-
It has a possibly South African look to it.
-
I initially thought it was a Mexican Lobby, but looking at it, it seems too small. What size is it?
-
Do South African lobbies carry the same ratings as UK posters? This is A.
It is the same size as other lobbies, 11x14.
Wouldn't Mexican lobbies be in Spanish?
-
I don't know what ratings South African lobbies would have had then. But they DID do the James Bonds, and I had the one-sheets from Goldfinger and Thunderball.
The color is what reminded me of them, often two color, and somewhat inconsistent, like on this lobby card. But it is just a guess. I don't know what other English speaking country makes sense, and since we know there WERE South African releases, it makes sense to me, at least until more info comes along.
-
The only query to that is the specific use of Irish art which covered up the girl. Would the South Africans have had easy access to a handful of posters that were adapted for the Irish market?
Again, just not sure.
-
Just saying initially looked like one...
It could possibly be an Irish Card, as quite a lot of U.K. lobbies had no info on them. FOHStills always do but Lobbies are different.
I have several U.K. sets of Lobbies with no info at all, not even the title of the film...
-
Unlike with the Goldfinger and Thunderball UK Campaign books where mention IS made of the UK sets of four 11x14 lobbies, there is no mention of a lobby set in the Russia Campaign book.
I cannot find an image of a South African film poster for Russia to see if they used the same ratings.
-
Is the black on the girl's Chest and extended skirt printed directly on to the card, or hand coloured in?
Also is there anything on the back of it?
-
Printed - which would suggest immediate availability of the work done on the quads.
Nothing on the back other than a bit of tape.
-
Great article by Eddie (http://www.filmonpaper.com/blog/an-interview-with-brian-bysouth/#more-27792), seems that the infamous "white tuxedo" art was supposed to be filled with a "montage of scenes" to the left and right of the characters. That version has never been seen....

Thanks for linking to the interview Mel.
Last night I added an image of the transparency of Brian's original FYEO artwork to the interview (it appears just before the quad towards the end of the article). Check out the differences in layout and detail compared to the final quad.

Well spotted fellas.
I am not sure I would have known to look in a Ski sale for a film poster...!

Quite often a poster will pop up here or in Car Sales, I auctioned a few bits a while ago at a Specialist car Auction.
I know where i want to sell my OHMSS french poster :)

Interesting.
I wonder then if I would ever find a set of skis in a Film Poster auction.

Not at $5k though...

It is not exactly a "rare" poster, as seen at this link:
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/ON%2520HER%2520MAJESTY%2527S%2520SECRET%2520SERVICE/type/French%25202p/archive.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/ON%2520HER%2520MAJESTY%2527S%2520SECRET%2520SERVICE/type/French%25202p/archive.html)
Which once again proves there are always lots of "bargains" at eMoviePoster.com!
-
Hey fella - this 'bargain' comment maybe referencing me and the wonder at the realised price for the Skyfall IMAX poster in the Mid Auction thread.
I am absolutely sure there are bargains to be had at eMP, and mine was only a wondering based on a very very narrow view (via Bond interests) of the quantity of product you move through the system.
But, I am absolutely sure people are prepared to pay higher prices if assured they will get the packing and service. I know I am prepared to. And this will rightly so, drive an increase in bidding.
(However, the IMAX poster sale was just incredible - hats off)
-
There are high prices and low prices almost every set of auctions. Most often our consignors have LOTS of posters and don't want to just send their best few to one auction, their next best group to another, and be left with a pile of junk that no one wants. We alone take EVERYTHING a consignor has to sell. They just pack everything up and their work is done.
Of course there are others who have plenty of time to basically take a part-time or full-time job and sell their posters one by one, and that is just fine with us!
-
I have learnt here:
Hey fella = listen up bucko

Not so sir.
'Hey fella' is Hi / Hello / Dear sir.
No lesson to be learned here fella. ;)

Even worse. I believe that was his purposeful reaction when his name was read during this year's Golden Globes for Best Director. :-\

Interesting read of past posts.
I've only completed a little collecting recently so it's great to see some good pieces flying around.

Hey Adz,
its well known that you have a beef with mel and vice versa however i think having a diatribe on your signature is a bit weird as most people couldnt give a shit. You really seem to be stoking the fire!(for the record i am not attacking you)
-
I assume he just saw himself acting.
He was being told about someone who banned himself for having some Django LCs

ADZ, please read the following and remove Mel's name from your signature immediately.
The Internet has become a world-wide community and in the process, innumerable forums on every subject under the sun are available where people can express their opinions. Some forums are closely moderated -- that is, someone checks every post for suitability before it is uploaded to the forum. Some forums have minimal or no moderation, only Terms of Service (TOS) that members are expected to follow. Most forums do have some sort of reporting feature for obscene or harassing posts. Still, even with a minimally-moderated forum, is there a standard of behavior? Is there actually something called forum etiquette? The answer is an unqualified yes.
Forum etiquette means maintaining a standard of posting behavior that is acceptable and appropriate. Forum etiquette can be flexible, according to the subject of the forum, but there are certain standards most people expect others to maintain. Some lines must be drawn for the safety of all posting on the forum.
One of the staunchest rules of forum etiquette is not posting personal information about another poster. Even if that poster has all but drawn a map to his house, posting a real name or address is considered grounds for a permanent ISP ban on most forums. This could compromise someone's safety. This is probably the most serious breach of forum etiquette and most moderators take it very seriously.
We don't want to kick you out, you have the right to promote Bondposters on this forum, but using Mel's full name in your signature (to be seen by everyone every time you post) is wrong.
Thank you,
T
-
Just to confirm, I have listened to a few wise words from one of the moderators and listened to the words of Thierry above as well as Paul, and so have complied with the request to remove Mel's real name and the associated signature, and I also apologise for going against forum etiquette.
I understand forum etiquette, but when did forum etiquette become a part of proceedings on this forum?
It's different when I mention Mel's name--there are rules all of a sudden.
PM me Thierry and let this section of the forum get back to Bond.

I don't know much about it, but call it a hunch -- I'm guessing the actual value is closer to the second link :)

Thanks Harry I didn't even think to check Bruce's auction history. That's some gap between prices. Lol, looks like someone had a meltdown on the first auction. Or maybe the second winner got a crazy good deal!

As long as they purchased it for under $500, they will make a tidy profit

Mel, either the measurements of the 24 sheet are wrong, or your proportions are off, because I don't think that poster measures (228" (H) x 103" (V) if the one-sheet and quad are placed on it in the right size. Maybe it is a 30 sheet?
-
This is the correct proportion: 228" =1000 pixels (H), 27" = 118 pixels (H)

It was until the late 1920s. Then it became 12 pieces,usually 8 large ones and 4 small ones. But it was too late to change the name.

It's a great image. I almost want to watch the movie just to see why they're having an underwater battle. 8)

I've been dragging my feet to start and underwater themed collection -- I'm a diver and I know it will get out of hand! That said, if I do I would guess this is where it would have to culminate at some point. Underwater scenes simply don't get any better.
Hmmm... I wonder if a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 24-sheet exists...

Nope. It's cool, but Thunderball is clearly better!

LAMP International Poster Index
24 SHEET
A Twenty Four sheet is a size of poster that is approximately 24 times the size of the one sheet. This statement alone would seem to be a very simple and easy to understand explanation.... HOWEVER... it's not quite that simple.
The world's first 24 Sheet was displayed at the Paris Exposition of 1889 by Morgan Litho. This gained them worldwide attention and established Morgan as a major lithographer in the industry.
In the US the 24 sheet normally measures 108"x246", and is used for billboard advertising, although in older days some were placed on the sides of large buildings and barns. They come in a number of pieces and are placed together like a puzzle. Their artwork is designed to catch the attention of motorists as they drive by. They are issued primarily for major motion pictures.
Because they are made of paper stock and glued onto the billboard, few survive from having to tear them off to replace them with the newer piece.
For more on this size see the US article on Twenty Four Sheet.
In the UK, however a twenty four sheet is a COMPLETELY different size AND can get quite confusing. The explanation would STILL be the same.. that it is approximately 24 times the size of the one sheet... BUT it then depends on what you determine the one sheet to be. What we call a 24 sheet, the British film industry calls a 48 sheet.
For more information on this size, see our UK article on the 48 Sheet

It feels like sacrilege, but I HAVE noticed that incomplete one-stops with cool images sell for FAR more than complete ones!
Obviously no one is going to display a complete one, so I am going to start asking my consignors if I can "separate" any new ones I am sent, to get them more money!
-
Not sure if you're a completist, but there are two 1-Stops, two variations of 'Bond shooting into space', and four versions of 'Bond surrounded by girls'.
The International version of Bond shooting into space excludes the tagline and the date.
As for the 'girls', the taglines include, Blasting off Soon / this Summer / in June and as above, an International version with no tagline or date.
Cheers.

As a lobby card fan, and someone focused more so on this area, I did separate mine into 1 Sheets and 'sets of cards'.
I am sure I am alone in this practice, but this Was the intended practice, I believe.

And then of course, there is the Review one sheet...

And if one is really nuts, then there are minor credits variations between what appears to be the final 1 sheet on the second 1 Stop poster and the actual final release 1 sheet.
And that is the ratings box.
I'm done - sorry for the rambling.

-
Thought the 80's restrikes all had the films' titles at the bottom of the poster.
This doesn't seem to be in evidence here...??
-
I don't think it was part of the 1980s lot either. I have an East Hemi style (http://www.filmonpaper.com/posters/live-and-let-die-one-sheet-usa/) that I'm 99% certain is legit and it has the GAU logo that was in use by 1973.
By the way Simes, I also have a Man With the Golden Gun one sheet that I'm certain to be original (it's not up on my site yet) but it doesn't have a West or East Hemi marking at the bottom. I recall Adz mentioning that he also had one without the mark and I wondered if you'd come across any yourself?
-
I haven't, but I must also state I am probably not up on all the US 1 sheet pre Moonraker variations outside of restrikes.
-
The seller (fain2) claimed he worked "at the studio" and was/is selling a number of 1980s restrikes, including some Diamonds Are Forever and Man With The Golden Gun.
At least some of the East Hemis were printed with the LAIPU logo (see below right picture).
"Damian" wrote the article on MPA (http://movieposterauthenticating.com/wordpress/james-bond/james-bond-1-sheet-1980-re-releases/)but did not cover LALD but he wrote this:
The LPIU union logo started appearing on 1-sheets in 1968 (this is in reference to my own collection which contains a good number of 1-sheets from each year from about the early 1950’s onwards). Arranging my collection in NSS# order (which I know is not strictly in chronological order) the first 1-sheet with the LPIU logo is Hang ‘Em High NSS# 68/108. The GAU union was formed by a merger of the LPIU and a sister union on Labor Day 1972, well after the release of Diamonds Are Forever, which came out in December 1971.
I will digress here because the issue of the printer’s logo seems to be fairly complicated to me.
The earliest 1-sheet (by NSS#) that I own with a GAU logo on it is for A Clockwork Orange, but that is a special case. Its NSS# is 72/30, and it was released in February 1972 before the GAU union was formed; however, it was originally released as an X certificate movie, and the 1-sheet I have is for the R-rated version which was rated in 1972 according to the MPAA website and released in 1973 according to IMDB. There is one other 1-sheet with a 72/XXX NSS number that I own with the GAU logo, which is The Godfather (I actually have two 1-sheets one with each printers logo) and this film was released in March 1972, so the GAU logo must have been a later printing and the LPIU on an earlier printing. The 73/XXX 1-sheets I have are mostly LPIU, with a couple of exceptions, and another example where I have a 1-sheet with each logo. It is the latter 74/XXX numbers before the GAU logo takes over.

I'm sure Benito knows that this poster isn't from 1963. Even putting his experience in the hobby aside, it clearly says 1974 in the lower left fine print! And while there are half a dozen or more of these r74 posters listed right now -- some in better shape and priced less than $100 -- I still have never seen a first release 1963 poster on eBay since I started collecting in early 2008. The first release is a VERY rare poster.

Since I see at least one other ebay listing of a Bond poster as from the early sixties...Transamerica didnt buy UA until 1967 and that logo didnt start appearing until late 1967.

By the way, this very rare UK quad for Live and Let Die arrived today. It's not the prettiest of designs (the Marler Haley's never are) and it's a bit dinged up along the top, but I honestly don't think I've seen another one...

I have never seem one of those sir. Superb find. Where on earth did you find that? (If such a question can be asked on these boards)
Suffice to say, am jealous. Well done.

Gratz Matt! on yet another sweet find.
-
I found it at a small auction house in the UK in a lot with a few other posters. I paid a handsome sum for though so I wish it had been a bit more obscure of a sale ;D
-
Matt, is that rolled?
Awesome piece.
-
It looks like it was lightly hand folded across the center at some point, but yes, rolled. I think the Marler Haley sets were mailed to the theaters (only for premiers at the Odeon chains from what I've heard) that way. If they ended up folded it was done after the fact by theater employees.
-
Good question.
I have the full Octopussy Marler set and yes, all rolled. Quad and four DCs.
That said, my quad has colour stills attached which would make folding difficult. But whether the quads were dispatched with stills attached or not, is not known.
Also, the stills were of the UK foh design, but Without the usually attendant credits in a white box or bottom border.

The View / Kill set also had stills attached to the quad.
-
Great set Simes!
Do you know which movies all got the Marler Haley treatment? The earliest posters I've seen were for Diamonds are Forever. Adam bought most of the DCs when they were on eBay but he missed the quad (http://www.bondposters.com/Diamonds_Are_Forever_1971.php). And I've seen the View to a Kill set as well. Do you know of any before or after?

I believe the Marlers went from DAF to TLD - which is to say I have never seen anything for before or after those films.
The Gg quad was cool - it was just the golden gun itself, in pieces.

I'm glad I've limited myself to quads! I think there were only 4 styles of those!
-
Well, five actually. But there is an element of pedantry involved.
V1 - in the tunnel
V2 - lying down
V3 - black main release
V4 - Piracy warning
V5 - something Odeon brought out in relation to a competition.
Were there any others?
-
I must have missed v5. Is it a cross-promotional poster? If so I usually don't collect those. But if it is more like the theater-specific Marler Haley posters then I supposed I'll need to track one down!
-
Can you post the Odeon one?

Harry, you did comment on this one in a fairly hilarious way; so not missed, just forgotten. I must also admit to never having seen another one anywhere before or since.
And then, unrelated specifically to Skyfall, there was the EoN quad for the documentary. But I am not counting that as anything other what came out at the same time...

Thanks Mr Simes, I don't know how I missed that, and I'm now out to get one ...unless anyone on here has one to sell me??

LALD 40th anniversary tomorrow 8)
A new era had begun.........
-
40 years? Godammit!
LALD was my first Bond movie I went to (with all my friends) when it was released - we had a blast. We cheered at the boat chase (because we had read about it, a record or something?).
-
Thought this was interesting...

Edited and reposted from my Facebook page:
"Live and Let Die" ...I remember an extremely young me (!) and friends went to that movie...we had a blast! To celebrate I hauled out my James Bond Daybill movie posters and photographed them all in one place (for the first time).
It was at this point I realised I was missing a The Living Daylights (1987) poster that I thought I had and also an original Thunderball (1965) that for some reason I also thought I had - don't you hate that when it happens! The Dr No and From Russia With Love are not originals either - but I already knew that. :P

A nice collection there David.
I know not a thing of the Daybills, so when you say the first two titles plus Thunderball are not originals, are you saying they are in fact re-release posters or some commercial reprint?
Also, did Australia release three versions of the You Only Live Twice poster, as per other territories?
Also, I guess they stopped Daybills around the time of GoldenEye? Do you use 1 sheets only now?
Cheers.

Yes, they are re-releases. As all Daybill collectors will attest, the first four are very rare and hard to come by, the first two extraordinarily so. I've heard stories that less than four Dr. No exist.
I've only seen the one version of YOLT if other versions exist I am not aware of it.
As I understand the Daybills for Bond stopped at L2K but there are mini posters which some might call Daybills. My first fours has been to collect the Daybills as they become more and more difficult to find, unlike the 1SH at the moment.

All,
At the risk of going over 'old ground' and thereby demonstrating the sheer limits to my meagre knowledge, are people aware of there being two versions of the UK quad for Diamonds are Forever?
I have bought, but yet to receive, a DAF quad with an AA rating assigned. It has a snipe partially covering the second 'A', which I will attempt to remove (advice to be asked later). But the thing is, I already own a DAF quad with an A rating assigned.
Is this an already well known fact? Is the 'two rating' story old hat?
And now to the snipe. I am told zest-it is the UK equivalent to bestine but this appears to be a paint thinners. Can I ask for any success / horror stories as to its efficacy.
Cheers all.

Simes if I remember correctly,Paul has in the past mentioned ordinary lighter fluid is just as effective at snipe removal..
I`m sure he will offer advice before his Friday Booze Up workout begins.

Thansk Stew - and how is it applied?
Do you break the lighter, pour some fluid into a pot and brush it on?
And then, what happens to the fluid itself - does it evaporate?
Cheers.

Don't try the above as that sounds dangerous and it would evaporate before you even got your brush near it (I would think).
I am guessing maybe use a refill pressurised container and poke the stem to expel the liquid directly onto the poster
-
No Simones,,you can buy lighter fluid from most newsagents,it looks like this.

They have a little red dispenser on top which lets out the fluid gently..the fluid does evaporate after a few seconds.
Stew

Cheers fellas - will have a crack at this when the poster arrives.

Simes,I would think that you may have to be very gentle and very patient..and also safe when trying out this method.
The fluid I think would not instantly lift off the snipe,but gentle persausion may be involved.

Sure enough... just looked at HA's archive and while most are 'A' rated, they have a single 'AA' example. Click on the link for the super-sized version. The 'AA' version definitely has an odd look about it. The second 'A', which is in a bolder font, seems like it was added to the original plates as the first 'A' matches the single 'A' rated version perfectly.

Don`t know if it`s any use but the AA also has soundtrack info above the Panavision text.
Stew
-
I did think people knew this but, the AA Cert version is the first release of the film/poster, and Stew is quite correct it had the Soundtrack info on. Later releases dropped the classification to an A Cert and don't have the soundtrack info. Some of the first release Quads were used for later releases, and just had the stickers placed over the extra A, and the soundtrack info. These are still first release posters if you take the stickers off or not, I prefer to leave these things on as it's all part of the History...
If you want to remove the stickers, I did post some pics in the Restoration thread, and gave a brief description on how to do it, I'll try to find the link.
Edit:- here it is. http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,5546.0.html
Though I have found that different Lighter fluids perform better than the one in that pic.."K two" from our local Spar shop seems the best so far, as does Ronson, but K two is half the price.

Agreed, leave them alone, they never did you any harm.
Poor snipes, always being removed.

I know what you mean fellas. But in my crazy way I wanted to see the difference between the two releases. I have the later A release as well.
Otherwise, I would leave them on.... I'm thinking.

OT: James Bond's submarine car discovered in Long Island storage (http://www.nbcnews.com/business/how-james-bonds-submarine-car-was-discovered-long-island-6C10732355)
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-07/BOnd%20car.png)
In 1989, a Long Island contractor decided to buy the contents of a storage container. He paid under $100 and he didn't know what was inside.
But the next day, when he and his brother opened up the container, they saw a giant lump covered in blankets. When they pulled off the blankets, they saw a white sports car with no wheels and a dented roof. It was the famous James Bond submarine car from "The Spy Who Loved Me."
"They really didn't know what it was at first," said Doug Redenius, co-founder of the Ian Fleming Foundation, which authenticated the car. "They had no idea how valuable their discovery was."
Now, 36 years after the car made its big screen debut, 007's underwater Lotus Esprit is headed to the auction block. The owner, who bought it for less than $100, could fetch more than $1 million. It is being sold by RM Auctions at its London sale on Sept. 9.....
-
Here's a link to an article about the Lotus Esprit listed above from my friends website and magazine dated July 03, 2013:
JAMES BOND LOTUS ESPRIT SURFACES FOR AUCTION (http://www.cinemaretro.com/index.php?/archives/7537-JAMES-BOND-LOTUS-ESPRIT-SURFACES-FOR-AUCTION.html)
Interesting info about the DAF quad.
Had heard about the different releases - will have to dig out the other one I have lurking around to see what release it is!
I agree with others - leave the snipe, Simes.
-
So why did it take you so long to post it? What were you just wating for Mel to post it so you could throw it in his face? My friend's... Made sure to post the date... Pretty cheap and petty. Dude grow up! Adam the instigator...
-
Actually, I've been away Charlie since July 12 and before that had just started to post back here and in all honesty, I thought it had already been mentioned so when I read the post you refer to I checked and I couldn't find mention of it, hence why I replied to said post with an article dated July 03. If you actually click on the link you will see that it is from the press release, which I thought others would be interested in.
So thanks for the comment, but you're way off the mark.
That crap is gone for me; shame it hasn't for some.

Why are we so far behind in this country, I asked several storage companies if they have sales like the current T.V. show kind, and it was a NO at every turn.. With them saying.."You've been watching that show on the Tele"... I guess these companies may have had more than me asking... eyeroll

Thanks for posting that Mel.
Interesting history to an iconic Bond poster and I had no idea they used a different model's arm on the final design.
Paul.
-
Interesting that there were varying claims to the legs, isn't it.
Paul, you should read some of the stuff in Cinema Retro, MI6 Magazine and 007 Magazine.
I'm sure Simes will agree there are some very good articles and interviews in these publications.

Cheers, Ben, but seriously - can I not post without a nod against Mel for heeby jeebies sake? hitself
I had already seen this article when I wrote about Bill Gold (and I didn't want to allude to that but now I have lol) hence why I said what I said and also why I said to Paul he should look in those magazines for other interesting pieces whose content is predominantly restricted to print only. There are some genuinely decent articles in them.

Italian vs. US SWLM: From EMP: (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3059925) "Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that Bob Peak is the artist for this poster despite the fact that the art is slightly different! Due to the effects of the printing process, the poster art (especially the faces of Moore and Bach) became darker and less distinguishable. Therefore, Peak repainted the images which explains why many European posters (especially Italy) have clearer and more recognizable art!"
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/2012/Bond_zps0faf3d6f.jpg) (http://s691.photobucket.com/user/Forty_Candles/media/2012/Bond_zps0faf3d6f.jpg.html)
Which do you prefer?
-
Uh dude, the faces are in different positions. So you are saying these are both peak art?
-
I find it hard to believe the one on the right is the work of Peak or even that he'd agree to repainting them in the first place. I suspect it may be the work of an Italian artist but am obviously happy to be proven wrong.
-
Italy variants :
DN (Ryder holding net with shells)
FRWL (007 , Tania & belly dancer)
TB (different face on 007 , he looks ahead instead of to the side , also red jet pack flames instead of orange)
OHMSS (blue ski suit......Germany & France had the same skisuit variants)
LALD (missing black woman and the cop cars painted orange)
TSWLM (different heads on 007 and Anya , I believe only Italy had this variant)

I think the faded look, if you framed it and had it in the right place with the right lighting could look brilliant ... give you the feel of an older movie, if you know what I mean!?

Following new chap's thread about Bond jpgs and 'books that don't have every poster', I mentioned it might be an idea to see just how many UK Bond quads there are in existence if one was to publish in book form, all of them. I said off the cuff that there might be around 80 such examples.
In fact, I have counted 103. These are below. Please add and detract as you see fit; well, maybe 'add', as I don't see any to detract as such.

Btw, I have intentionally left out the double / triple features where one film was a non-Bond, eg. a Clint Eastwood western.

GREAT LIST, SIMES!!!
Can you add the TB Premiere quads, Simes?
Basically, they were from the advance quad but each image is in quad format.
-
Had never heard of these.
So does that make another three or four quads on top? Did was the art / presentation for the Premiere quad of similar art to the main release quad, actually identical? The quadrant from the teaser does not have al the titles and credits from the main release quad.
Do you have images of these quads?
Cheers.
-
I have images, yeah... SOMEWHERE!
But I cannot find them for love nor money!
My guess is that they are on another hard drive.
It adds another four quads, mate.
The artwork is identical from what I can remember - simply quad-size versions of the teaser artwork.
I talked about these with someone a few years ago (even think they were mentioned on MPF); they were advertised for around $35000 and I think were eventually traded.
-

Apologies for the atrocious grammar. "Did was blah blah..."

That's an interesting list of quads, Simes. Now I am tempted to try to find and have them all in my UK Quad "virtual gallery"...
-
Nice work Simes, but you know what I'm going to ask you now...
It would be nice if you could post pictures of them all in order, as per your list, and a very useful resource for beginners. Don't have to be High res, just viewable on here.

I don't think these were quads. I've seen a set of two advance UK 40x60s. Each one has has half of the TB advance quad on it. So if you put them together side-by-side they would make a huge advance poster. If you've seen these images in quad size, I'm guessing they were 40x60s that were cut in half. Here are photos of 40x60s. Talk about rare... :)

I've seen this image before, but the images I have are of individual posters.
If they are 40x60, then good research Matt! :-)

The images above were from an auction listing them as "uncut" 40x60s. So maybe these were intended to be trimmed into quads? I'm vaguely recalling that Bruce auction a set of 4 TB 15"x20" posters that had originally been printed as a quad. The were some sort of advance (by not the known TB advance) where theater owners were encouraged to cut them up and display in various configurations. Maybe these 40x60s were produced with a similar intent...

From the information I was given by the person who had a set of these several years ago they were indeed 30x40 per image and the quality & texture of the paper matched other posters from that period. He had never seen or heard of a set before (as neither had I) but wondered if I could help provide any further info. None of these appeared in the UK press book (only the quad comprising of all four images) so it was obvious these individual posters were not intended for use around the UK and their obscurity backs this theory up.
However, I was later informed by someone who was at one of the two London 'Thunderball' premieres that he vaguely recollected them being used then but he'd not seen them on any occasion since.
I've just done a quick search and found this image of the premiere night at the London Pavilion. If you look carefully at the lower right near the cinema entrance (just alongside the 'L' in Thunderball) you can just make out what appears to be two of the four artworks possibly displayed in an uncut 40x60 format.

These will most likely of had the two uses, but primarily they are a U.K. 4 Sheet and will of been printed as such. 4 Sheets very rarely ended up in the press-books, they were considered with the likes of Bill-board posters, and other large formats. They may have been cut in some cases, but these Are printed as 4 Sheets.

Good stuff Paul! Interestingly enough, the two images visible appear to be the "Look Up" over the "James Bond Does it Everywhere" poster. If the images I posted are indeed uncut then someone at this premier cut them and then re-ordered them!
-
By the way, here is the "special" 30x40 Thunderball poster I was referring to at eMovieposter. I guess that makes one more special "exhibitor" advance Thunderball quad (sized poster)! Although, Bruce has this listed as a US poster and the currency and NSS info seem to corroborate that...
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/7899418.html
An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Special Movie Poster (measures 15" x 20" [38 x 51 cm])
Important Added Info: Note that this is a very unusual poster! The original pressbook tells that theaters could order a "sensational multi-use four-unit display", which was a 30" x 40" poster with four sections. The instructions in the pressbook say that theater could use the poster just as it was, or cut the four sections apart and display them vertically, horizontally, or one at a time separately. The theater that used the poster offered here must have cut it into four pieces and then used each individually, and only the one being offered survived. These posters are incredibly rare, both individually, and together!
Condition: very good. The poster had four sections, and what is offered here is one quarter of the original poster (see above). But as is explained above, theaters were encouraged to cut the poster into four pieces and use them separately, and that is what this theater did. The section that is present is in really nice condition, BUT PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT IS ONE QUARTER OF THE ORIGINAL POSTER (as explained above).

I think you're right. I've just taken a look at my copy of 'The Battle for Bond' (interesting history about the behind the scenes controversy of Thunderball) and there is a clearer picture of the London Pavilion premiere from a slightly better angle. On the lower left is another 'Jetpack' artwork but underneath it appears to be (but difficult to be certain) the 'underwater battle' art indicating this could of been an uncut sheet.
-
Yes, after I posted I noticed the second set of posters behind the street lamps... looks exactly as you say -- Look Up over Look Down.

About your list above, why the "more conservative" Irish versions of the first Bond movie Posters (Dr. No, FRWL, Goldfinger and more) are not mentioned almost anywhere? The two books I have only mention the Irish version of Goldfinger, none for the others that I know an Irish version exists. 007 Magazine also only mentions Goldfinger's. Why is that? Were these versions really produced? Does anyone have an original?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/From-Russia-with-love-British-Quad-poster-/400449182603#ht_1321wt_1285
I cannot find an image of an Irish Tunderball quad but I have seen one in person. Perhaps I should have taken a picture of it at the time. But it is of the same ilk as the above.
Cheers.
-
Oh! Thank you, Simes. Nice findings.
The listing of the removed ebay auction says, about the FRWL poster, that "this poster has had the Irish Censors draw clothing over the girls so is in need of a good Linen backer and restorer to wash and clean the poster and to do there (sic) magic."
Does that mean that these posters, maybe even the Irish Dr. No and the others, except for Goldfinger's, had the conservative clothing actually hand drawn on top of the original posters? That would mean they were not printed officially and that each of these Irish posters (with exception of Goldfinger's) were drawn one by one? That sounds crazy...
Andy
-
It's a good question, but I would imagine there would have been one chap doing one 'painting over' and the result printed thereafter.
I have not seen one of these quads up close to feel textures etc. and I am not aware how many cinemas there were in Ireland in the 60s but surely one chap would not have hand covered multiple posters...
Would he?
That said, I have sold a Cool Hand Luke poster that had been Irish-ed, and that was printed. Paint blobs an' all.

The Irish posters are all hand drawn over except the Goldfinger, which was printed up like that. That is why you will never see prints of those, as technically they are de-faced...!
It's not just Bond posters they coloured in bits they didn't like, there are many other posters too, some worse than others... You need to see the poster for John Wayne's Legend of the Lost.. :o

Nice! This explains it! Finally! :)
So they are not "official", that is why the books make no mention to them. Now it makes sense.
Still, that is a crazy idea, I would never had guessed it. To hand paint over the original posters one by one... I would assume that Ireland (or is it the Republic of Ireland... I never know...) had too few theaters at the time.
Thank you for the clarification.

38 FYEO Marler Hayley
39 Octopussy Teaser Quad
40 Octopussy Quad
41 Octopussy Marla Hayley
42 NSNA Teaser Quad
...
You list 3 quad posters for Octopussy. I know the main one and I found TWO other quads that are not this Marla Hayley thing. Here are they:
http://prntscr.com/1tnlq6
http://prntscr.com/1tnluc
The second one does not look like having a quad format but the book I have about JB posters, the old one, shows it and says it is a UK quad. Is it right? If so, your list would be missing one quad?
And about Casino Royale, 2006, there is an Advance with November 17 and I found another quad Advance with November 16, or is the November 16 one of the other posters you listed for CR? It seems there may have one more CR quad poster.
A last question is: the FRWL Reissue, is it a poster with a completely different graphics than the regular one or it is the same graphics but reissued?
Thx.
-
Your first link is the teaser.
Your second link is a trade ad that was placed in magazines like Screen International - it was never a quad. There are several mistakes of this nature in both the Tony Nourmand book and the recent 50 year anniversary book.
Can you post an image of the CR November 16. I personally have not come across a quad with that date but that is not to say one has not been printed. As before, there may be many digital versions online but what has actually been committed to print will decide its poster status.
The Russia reissue you will see here - labelled here as Quad B.

Thanks for the info. Please, see a picture here:
http://bond.dpvqb.com/WP_20130927_001.jpg
It is in the front page of the Casino Royale section of the 50 Years of JB Movie Posters book.
-
Ah, firstly that is not an Advance, that is the main release.
Secondly, I believe you will find the below is what was printed whereas what you have identified is what I was alluding to earlier - that someone has created a digitised image of something for other purposes but that which itself was not actually printed.
http://www.filmonpaper.com/posters/casino-royale-quad-final-uk/
Quick check with the other forum members though - was AndyVee's poster ever printed chaps?? I am believing not.
-
I don't know, I am almost sure it is an official printed poster. See here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_Royale_(2006_film)
and here
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/389157/20120928/james-bond-50-years-christies-auction-skyfall.htm
And there are more...
It is indeed extremely similar to the regular quad, actually the same but with the date added and the credits a little higher to make room for the date.
-
You know what, Buy the poster and then post the result. We deal in paper here.
Cheers.

Well, I bought the book about posters, written by "experts". You guys are also supposed to be experts. Buying the poster may not be the solution because it is known that there are many counterfeits around, posters that are not officially licensed, so I run the risk of buying counterfeit. Knowledge is important. But if you guys don't want to share the knowledge, since I am not asking for files anymore, only knowledge, which a forum is supposed to provide, then it is ok. It is your choice.
Cheers.

My new "virtual acquisition". ;D

Virtual acquisition? I was under the impression you wanted digitised images of original posters that were actually printed...? The above was never a quad...
Moving right along...
-
What is going on?
Dunno.
:-\
-
Very odd, Simes and Steve, this whole virtual gallery thing.
Anyway, I have never seen that dated quad.
Those Bond books are notorious for including images of posters and models that were never printed or made.
Andyvee, I don't think anybody on this forum says they are experts.
Most of us are collectors, some collectors and dealers and some just post when they want to sell something.

Is an online archive really that strange?

Sorry if I misled you and Simes. That picture is not about a quad or a poster, it is a prop from Octopussy, a real sign. I found the image in the internet, liked it and did some Photoshop in it, just for fun. When I said "acquisition" I just meant that I had found the picture online, it was a joke. Sorry.

A purchase just came through this morning, but I daren't place it alongside the art in the November thread. (Which probably says more about me than the poster)
Suffice to say, it is at least a quad.

So if there were Odeon-specific quads for DAD and Skyfall, does it stand to reason that there are also Odeon posters for CR and QoS?

How many quads does that make now? :)
-
I have a few of these teasers for non-Bond films, so my guess is, there is likely one for all the films the Odeon released in recent times..
-
Yes, I've seen them for quite a few "blockbuster" films...
Sigh.
-
Is that a good thing? I have a few, but none are for Bond movies unfortunately.

It`s an Imax poster,that does make it a tad interesting...

Does your camera have a white balance? You go to the trouble of making these videos that it seems a shame not to have the camera set up properly.
-
To be frank, I am really not 'getting' the point of indecisive shakey cam wanderings around and over a poster in sepia colour.
Just scan the image and pop it up.
I've stopped looking at these some time ago... sorry.
-
I've never even bothered to look.
-
Tang just needs to use a better light source. Everything is lit & photographs in that yellowy color.
Tang, just use a warm light source; not florescent as that will make things look green. And pure, indirect outdoor light will make things look more blue.
I like the vid concept, tho. It's different.
;)
-
To be honest he just needs to set his white balance to the correct preset for which ever light source he's shooting in, or just do it manually. It's pretty pointless otherwise.
-
It's Panasonic DMC-LZ7 photo camera , it's not some fancy 1k gizmo.......it does all right for it's price.

Here is my attempt at how a poster video should be done
http://www.mysterycorp.com/temp/poster_video.swf (http://www.mysterycorp.com/temp/poster_video.swf)
-
I'm not a big fan of Tang's video, as (IMO) they have kind of a creepy vibe. I'm not sure how to explain it, I really just don't get recording video of something like that, combined with no talking, shaky camera, etc., but to each his own. 8)
Steve, you sure are a smart-arse. :P
-
I am a fan of the tang,
Keep me coming mr lung.
Rest of you are jealous
I know at least another member who also likes them,
But he is shy.
-
Sorry fella -still switched off.
If one should do a video of an image at all, it should just be a series of edited together still shots.
It was (that which I saw of it) still all too meandering and pointless. The eye is impatient to get on to the next part of the image, or story, and in the end I couldn't hang around.
-
See what you can do when you set the camera up properly!
Joking aside, if you want to improve the quality of what you are doing check out pages 60-61 of the manual. It explains the white balance settings of your camera, the presets and setting it manually. It's really easy and should make a huge improvement.

I know what you mean Neo re the creepy vibe. I think fixing the colour balance, avoiding the self shadow/reflection, and continuous close ups would help.
But Tang is having fun, so that is the most important thing

In a perfect world, you will get those three posters eventually. I can't imagine anyone with a greater love or dedication, or anyone more deserving of owning them!

However, it might be five, inc the Irish Gf and a FRWL Premiere quad. Together with a Thunderball teaser making six.
I am seeing a row of 0000s with a £ sign at the front. Really not sure when, or if, it will happen.

It's a lot of junk. Dolls, odd cars. That said, I know nothing of the Corgi side of things.
It is more merchandising than marketing. A tin of tuna, 'cos it is advertising Die Another Day. There's a tie-in for you.
There are a couple of posters but it is Moore and later. It is perhaps misleading when the article (articles - it is in all sorts of UK press) mentions the chap's age and the duration of collecting. One would have perhaps expected all sorts of unique items - not so, for this particular audience.

Lol thanks... I think Simes and myself are nutters when it comes to Bond posters!
I wish I had the FRWL premiere quad; I did bid on the last one back in the Winters auction a while back, but my mate beat me to it then sold it at Profiles last year for a nice profit.
The guy who is selling the collection sold most of it at Christie's in '98.
He literally picked up anything and everything to do with Bond!
What he is selling tomorrow is the rest of it.
If anyone is going to the auction tomorrow, let me know as I will be there seeing a few friends as it is close to me, even closer to Paul, so Paul are you up to much tomorrow!? And Simes, are you popping up or just bidding over the phone or net?? I have a very strong idea what you have your eye on ;-)

A recent purchase here that people may find unusual or a curiosity.

Having been interested in the marketing of the Bond films for three decades, it is an unlikelihood that something would be unearthed that would be a completely new surprise. This lobby card purchased from ebay that broke that convention; a card from the film, From Russia with Love in poor condition that used the UK artwork to the left, on a yellow background and where the main still of FOH size was in b/w. Devoid of NSS and card numbering, strange implementations of the 007 logo of the time, an A rating and only one of the four girls from the UK art in evidence, its only clue as to its origins, as suggested by Graham Rye (007 Magazine and Archive owner), was in the painting over and partial covering up of the girl in ways reminiscent of the Irish alterations to the Russia quad poster.
A specially commissioned lobby card set for the Irish market? At present, it is unknown how many cards comprised this set; the accepted eight cards or similar to the UK sets of four for both Goldfinger and Thunderball? It is also unknown what other images were used for the remaining cards.
Any clues or advice fellas?
An image of a further card from this set has been made available to me. That said, it is a digital copy of something from when it was sold on ebay which was then printed. It is of the Spectre training ground as alluded to by other members here.

Grief - seems like I am out of touch with poster prices, even those of a subject matter close to my heart.

The problem (in terms of buying that is) with Bond posters now, Simes, is that their prices are higher than ever and will remain at these prices I feel thanks to the 50th anniversary and Skyfall's success.
There are still great deals to be had, however, just like that Dr. No DC.
I recently acquired some door panels for a song and I know some of my friends are jammy sods and bag great deals all the time!

Totally stolen from the jungle of NS4 (http://). Never knew vertical "16 sheets" were available before. Eight times the size of the quads, I guess none have survived:

So are there UK-printed 1/2 sheets with quad art floating around? They are referred to as lobby cards in the PBs. Never seen or heard of one before...
-
I wrote my dissertation on the history of movie advertising and so I can confirm they exist, but unsure about Bond.
My bet is that they will exist.
-
I've seen UK printed 1/2 sheets before -- but I don't think I've seen any newer than 1950s.
-
Never seen any UK Bond ones before - not that this is a statement of anything definitive.
-
I have a couple of early 60's U.K. Half-sheets, but never seen a Bond one. If one turned up…. :-X
-
I've seen UK printed 1/2 sheets before -- but I don't think I've seen any newer than 1950s.
That's all I have encountered as well. Mostly from the 40s and they usually have an odd yellow or blue border around the artwork.
Example:

Came across this today - slightly reminiscent of the Yamaha bike poster that I believe is also on this thread.
61x45 inches.

Here are 141 English half-sheets from 1943 to 1962 (lots of duplication, because when these are found, it is usually a stack of unused ones).

Goodness. 25 of which titles have been represented on emp more than once. Curious
They are nice, particularly like the Dambusters and Reach for the Sky.
I will have a dig in the UK Campaign Books and see which Bond titles were ostensibly allocated a 1/2 sheet...
-
...after all of which, only the above mentioned Russia and Goldfinger had 1/2 sheets allocated.
Oh well, enjoyed having a quick peruse of the Campaign Books. Any reason to get 'em out, (said the actress to the bishop).

Sounds like they were phased out around 1963 or so (probably low demand)

I'll go with that, can't say I've seen any past the early 60's..
-
Me neither.

I've been meaning to take the Moonraker one-stop to a frame shop to properly separate it, but to hell with it. I'm keeping the blue one sheet and consigning the white one (not shown). The end result is a slightly-off center but very cool 26.5"(H) x 41"(V). The odd lobby cards poster bit the dust, I'm afraid.
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2014-01/Moon1.JPG)
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2014-01/Moon2.jpg)
-
What is funny is that we have almost always received more money for the "cool" style from the one-stop trimmed off than we do for the entire poster (even though we of course completely disclose what was done)!
People see a one-stop as this HUGE poster they would never display, while they see the trimmed one-third as "close" to a one-sheet, and great to display.
-
Hmmm, they say all the Bond movies are basically the same movie anyway....
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2014-01/Moon3.jpg)
-
Mel, that Moonraker frame up is very cool, had similar thoughts myself.
As for the repeated Moore Bond image: if it ain't broke...
-
The more people who cut up the one stop, the better for me lol.
They do look better on their cut into three posters though.
Mel, why don't you cut the other side to make it central again?
Use a metal rule and a sharp blade on a cutting mat to get a clean and straight cut (if you don't use a guillotine).
-
I'm too lazy to take it to a frame shop and I try to retain as much of the paper as possible, even if off-center.
The end result of the separation surgery:

P.S. I could have framed the one-stop in the above three sheet frame and hung it horizontally. Tut, tut....
-
Must admit I separated my two Mr 1-Stops for the lobby card collection...
-
IMO , people are paying too much for the quads , if I can't get them at a decent price I'd never buy them. Even 2k £ for DN is costly.
Italy posters are just as nice imo (DN , FRWL , TB , OHMSS)

My separation was a little less 'hacking', and more 'rule and knife'.
No posters or lobby cards were hurt in the making of my production. Indeed, on both Mr 1-stops.

All,
I have a spare one of these up for grabs but, I would be looking to perform a swap for anything in my wants list, but specifically;
Dr No / Gf
Goldfinger / Thunderball (colour version)
YOLT / OHMSS
DAF / OHMSS
Failing this, I might let it go for a cash sum, but only after I have exhausted the above possibilities. I will also stick this in the relevant ads forum.
Cheers.

Got this somewhat uncommon Grezon Productions one sheet for FYEO tonight. Nowadays I'm generally steering clear of the photo posters but this one fits with the title:

An anonymous contributor posted some useful information about the 1983 reprints/restrikes:
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1113467607901702043&postID=7680499388514499874
The Bond films were NEVER part of the 1980 UA reissue campaign. The reissue 1-sheet is from 1983, along with Dr. No, FRWL, Goldfinger, Tball, and OHMSS. If you look closely at the reissue, it appears the original art was re-photographed. The original canvas panel was bent vertically and partly repainted to fix the damage. The damage on the left side of the art, down the autogyro's exhaust and the sky behind it, is noticeable on the original 1967 1-sheet but it's VERY noticeable on the reissue 1-sheet.
My best knowledge for the 1983 1-sheets is this; Cubby Broccoli was very angry and afraid that NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN would do better than OCTOPUSSY. If NSNA started to make more money than OCTOPUSSY, he was going to retaliate by reissuing double features of the older Bonds; a Connery and a Moore together on double bills. Broccoli had UA reprint the old 1-sheets and have new lobby cards made for each film. NSNA was released, it did ok but not better than OCTOPUSSY, so the whole idea was scrapped leaving piles of new 1-sheets sitting around the UA warehouse, which of course started to quickly leak out into collectors hands.
Close examination of the reissue 1-sheets will show that DR. NO and FRWL were shot from original folded 1-sheets. TBALL, OHMSS from either 30x40's or 40x60's. GF was entirely redone and is the easiest to spot. YOLT is part reshot 1-sheet and part newly photographed art. DAF, LALD, MWTGG were never reprinted since UA had a quantity of eastern hemisphere 1-sheets on hand. SPY, MOONRAKER and FEYO were regular NSS 1-sheets.
Besides the 1-sheets and lobby cards, ad mats with the double features were also prepared and also scrapped.
These 1-sheets are often lumped in with legitimate 1980 UA reissues for international release like MAGNIFICENT 7, THE GREAT ESCAPE, FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, etc.

YOLT special teaser: I believe all versions of these were printed and theaters were supposed to post them progressively:

Here's my collection of James Bond Thai movie posters. Most of you have seen the majority of these, but what's of real interest is the Thai poster for YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. I've never seen another - not in Bond books or anywhere on the net. If I'm not mistaken (and I'm certainly not a Bond poster expert) this is the only YOLT poster that utilizes all the main promotional art on one poster. I haven't seen Thai posters for FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, GOLDFINGER, LIVE AND LET DIE, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, or FOR YOUR EYES ONLY - I'm curious if any of you have. I believe THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS was the last Thai poster to be hand painted. I did come across Thai posters for ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, but passed on them because they were the same design as the common posters, only they had Thai writing on them.

For the most part, Tang doesn't participate in a conversation. That's just his style. I think it would be interesting to know where he gets all the dates for all the anniversaries and everything. Even if he has them all memorized, he must have gotten the information from somewhere.

Tob I can't say for sure. I've seen it on the posters you mentioned and a few others. It's even on a Thai poster for OPERATION BANGKOK from 1967.

I've seen COKE and ISUZU logos as well, but my favorite is on a poster for a movie called THE TATTOO. It's appropriate a poster with a naked girl has an ad for a product called KING'S HONEY. And if that's not enough, you even get a Thai calendar chart.

I agree, Mel, I was a bit shocked that the Dr. No one sheet beat out the three sheet. The one sheet isn't too hard to track down on a constant basis, but the three sheet is a rare bird. Looks much better too.
-
3 sheet vs. 1 sheet quite often comes down to displayability as opposed to an argument on rarity...
-
I'm surprised about the money spent on such butt ugly-poster...
-
The rather hideous US Dr. No posters are relics of 1960s fashion:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2014-04/James%20Bond%2001%20%28Dr.%20No%29%20%281962%20US%201S%29.jpg)
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2014-04/1960s.jpg)
-
You guys are way too hard on the Dr. No.
'Hideous' is a bit outlandish to use here in lieu of adjectives, especially based on some of the chit I have seen on the forum...no offense to anyone in particular, but this one is faaaar from the bottom of the barrel.
-
No bottom of the barrel Ben, we've all seen -and owned- worst shit than that. The french nailed it perfect with the Dr. No. The design of the US one sheet is great, but there's too much white, the single colored figures and the title looks bland. Probably, the same design with a more clever use of color could have been outstanding...
-
Must admit to not being aware there was distaste towards the US Dr No 1 Sheet. Personally, I always thought it was rather nice.
And there should be no accusation of bias because to be sure, I will be front and centre, loudly proclaiming any personal disatisfaction with Bond poster design.
Skyfall, UK Tomorrow Never Dies main quad, UK View Kill main quad....etc.
-
Design looks lazy to me. Like if they had a military release 1 sheet, and added some background color to Connery and the girls.
-
Butt-ugly and now lazy?
Respectfully disagree here, Matias.
It's a very good poster. I prefer the quad, small French, and RR Italian paper, but I personally love how with the US campaign they were not really sure what to do with the marketing design of the classic character from the books...like they didn't anticipate how big of a deal the big screen translation to the character would be. Again, its not my favorite, but its much better than most Bond posters. I do prefer the three sheet, btw.
-
We can respectfully agree to disagree Ben, we're all gentlemen here...
It is possible they were not sure how to market the film, I'll give you that. And probably the fact that I couldn't care less about Bond is an influence in calling the poster butt-ugly and lazy :D
-

Ha. Yeah, that may have something to do with it.

While not a Bond poster (indeed, slightly off topic) it seemed rather apropos to place this here. I came across this little blurb for an auction that happened on April 11, 2014, by Dreweatts & Bloomsbury Auctions in London:
Dreweatts & Bloomsbury sells 'Casino Royale' first edition for £24,180
Wednesday, 16 April 2014 09:10
"LONDON – A first edition of Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale thrilled bidders again April 11, selling for £24,180 ($40,612) at Dreweatts & Bloomsbury Auctions’ sale of Modern Literature.
The first book in the 007 series, Casino Royale introduced Fleming’s renowned James Bond franchise to the world. Since it was first published on April 13, 1953, the book had been adapted for film three times, and in 2006 it became the 21st film in the Eon Productions film series of the Bond novels, and the film that introduced Daniel Craig as the eighth actor to play the fictional MI6 agent.
Written by Fleming in Jamaica, the book received stellar reviews and the first UK print run sold out in under a month. The dust jacket was designed by Fleming himself and the initial hardcover release was priced at 10s, 6d a copy. This rare first edition Casino Royale is in exceptional condition, and was the first of a complete collection of Fleming’s 007 novels to be offered during the sale. Also from the collection, a first edition of Live and Let Die, (1954), sold for £8,060 ($13,537), and a first edition of Moonraker, (1955) sold for £5,952 ($9,997)."

Just picked up this Ursula Andress poster. The seller claims (IN ALL CAPS FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON!):
THIS IS A VERY RARE 1967 ( 27" X 39" )POSTER (THIS PARTICULAR SHOT SEEN ON THE COVER OF FEB. 1967 GIRLIE "CLYDE" MAGAZINE , NOT THIS SIZE AND WITH PRINT OVER IT,) OF URSALA ANDRESS FROM THE JAMES BOND FILM "DR. NO ." JUST A GREAT SHOT IN THAT FAMOUS WHITE BATHING SUIT. THIS POSTER IS IN QUITE GOOD CONDITION. NO PIN HOLES, FOLDS ETC. BUT IT DOES HAVE A TINY 1/2" WHITE BEND LINE IN THE MIDDLE TOP EDGE. IT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL TEAR BUT IT IS A BEND. (VERY EASILY, NOT SEEN WHEN FRAMED, SEE PHOTOS # 3 & 4 ) ...JUST A VERY DIFFERENT, HARD TO FIND POSTER OF THE GORGEOUS URSALA WHO CAME FROM THE SEA!! WHO COULD FORGET THAT MOMENT ON SCREEN IN "DR. NO" ...AND HERE SHE IS AND WITH DRY BEAUTIFUL HAIR TOO!

cool camel toe.

Wrong Bikini and wrong girl. eyeroll
Some people should really do their home work... Unbelievable.

Wrong Bikini and wrong girl.
It's still a cool vintage poster with nice artwork. 8)
This is Ms. Ursula Andress, in Dr. No.

It is Neo, and I'd have bought it myself, but how wrong could you be!
Mind They do look very similar, but you would have thought Mel would have known..

And Raquel was never in a Bond film, so where's Jeff... ;)

Oh dear...

When is it appropriate to relinquish one of those 5 collector stars?

Maybe one of the Mods can change the thread to "James Bond and Fathom".... ;)

Mel thinking with something other than his head again
-
It happens in males, the little head over ruling the big head... ;)
-
Yeah that is Raquel Welch (so not Bond-related of course) but here's the mag cover:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2014-04/Ursula.jpg)
-
So is the Welch poster a commercial one that was produced some time much later (than the magazine year of issue, that is)?
Any idea when it was printed?
-
I started a new personality poster thread here:
http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,8184.0.html
-
Good Idea Mel, I have a few myself..
-
Seems strange that Welch is not mentioned on the front cover, but that Andress is - albeit with an incorrectly spelt first name.
-
Maybe the publisher also thought (or was told) the photo was that of Andress. :-\
-
cool camel toe.
;D
You sir, have a good eye.

Somebody is selling this supposed "printers proof" of Thunderball. It supposedly lacks blue ink:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE3/2014-05/PP.JPG)
-
Why would it be folded, if it were a printer's proof? Not like it's meant for transit anywhere.
-
Might just be faded.
One way of making a plus out of a minus...
-
Here it is:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/291137652578
I believe this poster to be a printers proof poster. As you can see from the pictures the poster is devoid of any blue ink and as such the border that is normally green is in fact yellow (as is the water in the underwater scene) and the colours are very light. Also the credits which were printed in blue on the normal US 1 sheet are completely missing. However none of the other colours are affected and Robert Mc Ginnis and Frank Mc Carthy's iconic artwork remains fantastic. The poster also appears to have been hung on several occasions without much care for the image. The presence of parallel sets of pinholes (as far down as next to Connery's head) in the top two corners, would suggest that it was not pinned for cinema display and instead was pinned in a hurry.
-
First time I've seen a 30(H) x 40(V) Dr. No US poster (this one is trimmed and mounted):
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE3/2014-05/Dr-No.JPG)
-
Oof.
-
Most of those are just 1-sheets pasted to card stock. I've seen lots like that with those same "Adult Entertainment" stickers.
-
Another (no blue) printing proof has popped up:

Someone oughtta tell these knuckleheads that sun-damaged posters are NOT printers proofs minus blue ink.
WTF?

Actually, I believe this is a "Matrix" proof (in The Matrix, "All the color blue was sucked out of the exterior shots to convey how grim the world of the Matrix actually is.")

-
Aren't those "faded" YOLTs from India , on cheap paper thus it looks faded....that's what I always thought ?
-
Yup - me too.
The Indian 1 Sheets always have this hue to them.
-
Like what has been mentioned in not so many words, when you have an Indian poster in your hands you just know it is an Indian poster. The paper is flimsy and the artwork/printing seems rushed.

I wasn't sure where to post this bearing in mind it is a New Acquisition and also might garner comment in this Genre; and also of course that there are now new rules about not posting more than two posts in one day if the combination falls in the Dealer column and the General column on every third day of the month.
So herewith.

The only comment or question of note being that all posters seen of this title and Style have the Singer's (Sheena Easton) box at the bottom in white. I say all posters; there is one for sale at Cinemasterpieces and this image has been leant for Adam's Bond Poster site.
Otherwise, Bruce never seems to have sold an example as this. So, what's the story, if any? Why is this box with a red background? And how come it hasn't been mentioned in times past - unless of course I am again late to the party?
Best.
-
Unless I am out of touch, I would have thought this one would have been jumped all over...
Or I would have been jumped On for being so behind the curve.
A minor bump to coerce some motivation...
-
Simes, we will ask Adam to have a look at your last post as we are sure he will know something.
-
DaveL of Cinemasterpieces suggests it is nothing more than an anomoly between different printers in the US.
Oh well. An interesting thing for me only because of its apparent rarity.
-
Why would there be two different printers for this poster? Surely they would all be done at the same printers, so maybe just a difference as some were printed at a different time..
-
No idea sir.
Hope Dave doesn't mind being quoted; "Sometimes there are slight differences in one sheets from that era depending on where they were printed. Some may have been printed in Cleveland, some in Los Angeles. I really wouldn't fuss about it, the differences are usually meaningless."
However, the white / yellow smoke Dr No and the chopped / full jet pack Thunderball 1 Sheets get some internet equivalent of column inches so was wondering about this.
Cheers all.

One-sheets were printed at multiple printers ALL THE TIME from the 1920s to the 1970s (at least!)
Here is one of the most celebrated examples, the original Jaws one-sheet.
Over the years we have noticed that there were slight variations in different known original examples of JAWS one-sheets. One of those differences is the lack of a ratings box, surely explained by those being "international styles". But there were other differences as well (and in absolutely surely original posters!), so we assigned our own Phil Wages to thoroughly investigate this, and he outdid himself! Here is what he reports:
"I recently did some research into various JAWS one-sheet printings and found there are four variations of originals and one reproduction that could fool people who don't know what to look for! I compared SIXTY FOUR different JAWS one-sheet images from our own archives for this research.
First, here is an image that shows the variations in a side-by-side comparison with a brief description of each:
(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/announcements/dyk/20120810_jaws_printing_variations_compared_large.jpg)
If your monitor resizes the above image, you can see a larger version here: http://www.emovieposter.com/images/announcements/dyk/20120810_jaws_printing_variations_compared_large.jpg (http://www.emovieposter.com/images/announcements/dyk/20120810_jaws_printing_variations_compared_large.jpg)
The reproduction measures 27" x 40" (original JAWS one-sheets are always 27" x 41"). But they can be identified even if you do not know the measurements because on all the originals, the left copyright notice is "indented" slightly into the left border (the reproduction has the copyright flush to the left edge of the image) AND the block "JAWS" logo is "indented" slightly into the right border (the reproduction block "JAWS" logo is flush to the right of the image). Here is a checklist:
JAWS REPRODUCTIONS CHECKLIST:
1) measure 27" x 40"
2) has the copyright flush to the left edge of the image
3) has the bottom block "JAWS" title flush to the right of the image
Furthermore, it seems quite likely the reproductions were reproduced from the "NO NSS WITH BLOCK TITLE AT LOWER RIGHT" original poster. I suppose it is possible the reproductions are some sort of 1990s studio-issued "re-strikes", but we will not auction them as such unless irrefutable evidence can be presented. Remember too that this is only ONE version of a reproduction. There are surely others out there. Most are surely obvious (such as 24" x 36" posters or other wildly different measurements or crummy printing), but that's not to say other "high quality" reproductions haven't or won't been made, so it's always better to err on the side of caution.
It is also interesting to note that usually, international style posters carry no rating and no NSS number, but in the case of JAWS, the international style posters DO have an NSS number. There is only one original variation of the poster that does not have an NSS number, but it has a rating!
-
Good grief, as you say, he did out-do himself.
Has the poor chap managed to retain his vision?
I still find it strange that there appears to be very little history of the red box credit on the FYEO poster, and amazed that you Bruce appear not to have sold one.
Cheers.
-
Great info there, Bruce and Phil! clap
Your post should also be in the Authentication section; i just did a quick look and there looks to be NO dedicated thread, discussing Jaws OS authentication details.

It is precisely the fact that we have never sold one of these why we have no information about it. We thoroughly research everything we auction, but we can't take the time to research items we have never had. Eventually we will be consigned this!

Indeed sir.
I can make available a higher res image if anyone wants to pour over it.

http://www.originalposter.co.uk/fulldetails.asp?rid=4065
An interesting one for sale here. What are people's thoughts?
Just spoken to the chap who owns the site and was perfectly up front and honest about it all; basically, only the actual art survived due it being cut out from the surrounding text. The art was then mounted on linen together with other bits of archival blank poster paper from the era which will then have been married up, cracks filled in, cut and shaved to make the 30x40 inch dimensions.
And then, All the text was written on top - from scratch.
I guess this level of infill has been tackled before, most notably and recently on these forums with a Rear Window 3 Sheet which completely recreated James Stewart bottom left. But, what are the thoughts?
Cheers.
-
It's too bad that the site doesnt allow one to be able to click & see a much larger image of the quad (or any other poster on their site). I'd like to see the image more up close. And it looks like Studio C did the restoration/re-creation work.
Is 1800 GBP a fair price for a Bond piece like this, that has been about 85-90% recreated? Too high? or low? dontknow.gif
-
This "thing", along with a few other posters, sold for 200-ish GBP about a year ago if I recall correctly....
(http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s369/drharrycaul/ScreenShot2014-07-09at12504PM_zps4cee99cb.png)
-
Then this "heavily restored" Thunderball was sold by Ewbank's this spring for 1400 GBP -- before the 28% BP! I think I can see the outline of that restored art to the right of the brunette with the pink hair band... If this is the same poster, and that dealer bought it. I'm guessing they are just praying they can recoup their costs...
(http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s369/drharrycaul/25799966_1_x_zps3c4fe629.jpg)

Ok, I just messed with the levels of that Ewbank's image in Photoshop and it clearly looks like the same clipping...
(http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s369/drharrycaul/Untitled-1_zps66947c1f.jpg)
-
Also the thing is Matt, that Thunderball piece never sold first time around, and I was offered it for something like £60.....Maybe I should have bought it... :-\
-
Did they mention the fact that the poster was only about 15-20% original in the auction listing?
-

Probably be better off just backing the clipping and leaving the text bits out. That would have been pretty cool.
-

What? I was the underbidder in the original auction... Mainly for the Cool Hand Luke DC (and other DCs) it was sitting on in the photo. You'd think they would have offered it to me first if the winner didn't pay! moron1
-

No. Here was the description:
Description
James Bond Thunderball (1965) British Quad film poster, starring Sean Connery, United Artists, linen backed
Condition
This poster has had extensive restoration.
I would have been f'ing furious had I bought it...
-
Hmm - on speaking with the chap today, he made it seem as though he himself had had the restoration work done.
But if the work has been done, and then sold through Ewbanks, I amk wondering if in fact Original Posters just bought as is.
He said he paid Studio C around £900 for the restoration. Gulp!
As for Erik's question, for my part, it is worthless. I wouldn't pay anything for it. One may just as well have paid someone to have painted the whole poster on some linen. It brings in to question something I rasied earlier in reference to a faded poster and how that is restored - the answer being that everything would have to be painted over. At what point does an 'original poster' cease to be an original poster?
If one buys a new Ford Focus, and then changes the interior, changes and adds paneling, paints it in a new colour, fits lower profile wheels/tyres (tires) and changes for a more powerful engine, at what point does the car you originally bought, cease to be?
-

That was the second time they tried to sell it, the first time it was on it's own. I'd rang up to pay my bill, and got Alistair on the phone, he asked if I wanted it at that price, as well as a few other un-sold posters.
-
Simes, Steve is a smashing fellow, unfortunately he live's on another world where prices are concerned... If I ever sell anything I'm going to join him. ;D
-
Oh sure. Totally agree.
I have bought from him in the past, although that was after some decidedly good natured and lengthy bartering over the phone which all ended very happily for both.
Yup, top chap. And I did wish him the best in finding his buyer. I was just curious about what the restoration involved, and at that price.
I had bought last year a Thunderball quad in lovely unbacked, fully dimensioned condition for £2k. So I couldn't understand what £1.8k was buying one. An interesting chat though, although I still seem not to understand who actually paid Studio C for the work if this poster has been bought and sold through Ewbanks in a post restoration condition following his words, 'I paid £900 for the work.'
Does this mean it has come back to him again?
-
Maybe he tried to sell it through Ewbanks and the buyer returned it? However, it would be some coincidence that the current selling price is almost exactly the Ewbank's price including BP (1400 GBP + 28.2% = 1794.80)...
As for the seller, I have bought from him as well and was very pleased with the transaction.
-
That ain't a poster, it's an abomination!

Does this mean it has come back to him again?
Yes, I agree. I bought from them in the past and cannot complain, in fact I have got mine cheaper (much cheaper) than his original asking price which as Paul say are a bit too high for my pocket.
And as you noted, the restoration work does seem really expensive at £900. I too would like to know why that price, I can see that it needed some work, but that pricing sounds a bit extravagant. It does however look like a decent restoration job.
-
£900.00 does seem expensive, but then a friend of mine was quoted £900.00 by one of the best in the business (IMO) for the backing of a poster, which had tears and no missing pieces, because of the size (three sheet) and because the background colour had to be replaced.
With the TB, whomever completed the work basically had to recreate the type on the poster by hand and for £900.00 I don't think it's too bad, but to buy it I wouldn't much more than £1k.
-
Further to recent forays into the world of Skyfall, and all that which it didn't deliver in terms of either the moving image or the still image (imo), an update on all the myriad variations of the latter two poster designs.

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.

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.)

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. :)

Go for it.

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 (http://moviepostercollectors.com/MPC_Authentication_James_Bond_Restrikes.html) 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.

Thanks!
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.
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 (:P), but has there been any notorious dupes in the Bond poster world?
-
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...
-
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.
-
I thought I heard there were two printings of the YOLT posters -- 30x40 and 31x41 (with the latter being more common).
-
Not that I know of Harry, as far as I've always known the first release Quad posters for YOLT are all 31"x41" otherwise they have been cut down/trimmed. Yes Ben, these are the exact measurements..
Maybe Adam will confirm..
-
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.
So they are still litho printing process, but from photo source. How is their sharpness compared to the 60's originals?
-
Fine.
The only 1 Sheet with a problem is the YOLT one where the original had damage on the left side of its length. This was then reproduced. This is explained I believe in earlier pages of this very thread. There are also comparison images.
-
Which License to Kill US 1sheet was more prevalent, the red one or blue one?
I'm making a set of custom Bond Blu-ray covers using all original poster art and cant decide which one to use for this title..
-
Scratch that. I just figured out the blue one was "international", the red "US".
-
RIP Ouromov , Gottfried John , 72 :'(

He was a memorable Bond villain.

Well I got my feet wet and my first "real" poster is on its way: a folded Octopussy 1-sheet. Certainly not my favorite Bond but I had to start somewhere (and starting with an original Thunderball Quad was out of the question ;D ).
I paid $20 for it, which is probably $10 more than I should have given the condition of the corners, but I'm guessing every novice has made a mistake or two.
Here is the photo (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3888/15137041445_28932f542d_o.jpg) from the auction. Hope it doesn't get mangled in transit.
-
just frame it and you wont see the funny corners! It still displays well, cool poster for $20
-
great artwork although Bonds legs look too long in my opinion!
-
Couple more questions for the connoiseurs:
As of which Bond will we find rolled as well as folded US 1sheets?
As of which Bond is there no union logo, mouse-type, and/or NSS numbers at the bottom?
-
Happy 75 , George Lazenby bed1
Not obsessed over the quads , Italy ones are just as good.......

Fellas who own a Dr No UK quad, please can you tell me if they all measure exactly 30x40 inches?
Was there any history of varied dimensions to the tune of a 1/4 inch, so making 29.75 x 39.75 inches?
Cheers.
-
I'll measure mine this eve Simon, and let you know..
-
Hello Simon, found it straight away, it measures exactly 30"x 40".
-
Thanks Paul, appreciate the speediness of help and response.
It was as I feared. I have a Dr No quad but it is not as I would like. It is however, 30x40 too. Another one has popped up via the SaleRooms site in the UK but it has been trimmed by just a 1/4 of an inch, height and width. Otherwise, it would have been nice.
Oh well. Moving on.
-
Seems apropos here, too.
I know that the "Bond-ophile" poster collectors have commented and mentioned that this volume, written by Thomas Nixdorf, is a must have.
Again, while perusing, I found another BIN with Free shipping, for a copy of his book, for $49.95
Link: "License To Thrill James Bond Plakate 1962-1997" (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574860769&toolid=10001&campid=5337459134&customid=&icep_item=191380152693&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg)

Quick update to the above.
Turns out that the Dr No quad on offer via Astons Auctioneers last week was not taken fully out of the crappy frame for measuring. This was as stipulated by the consignor. Why, one might ask? Because it looks better in the frame and is more likely to sell, they were told. And much against the auctioneers' better interests, they complied.
As it happens, I had time to follow the auction online and the Dr No quad was the last item to be auctioned. Immediately prior to the auctioning, a special announcement was made saying that after all, Astons had taken it out of the frame and had discovered that in fact, the poster was the full 30x40. One edge had been folded back to fit in the frame.
I had specifically asked the auctioneers to remove entirely from the frame to check all edges for folding... Luckily I was online as I then went on to win it.
So, why buy this one as well as the one from Vectis earlier this year. I was disappointed with the quad from Vectis as the restoration and backing had had pretty much the entire poster repainted. I had taken to a restorer for an opinion as to whether it could have been re-restored but he said, not really. To this end, I reckon I will frame and display the restored version, since it does display well, but I now also have the pure unadulterated and unbacked copy.
A minor indulgence.
I will pop photos up in the relevant thread (What's on walls / James Bond etc.?) once framed and hung.

5 yrs since Dr No died , RIP Joseph :'(

Well done Simon, just shows being live at these auctions makes a huge difference, looking forward to the pics..

This "thing", along with a few other posters, sold for 200-ish GBP about a year ago if I recall correctly....
(http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s369/drharrycaul/ScreenShot2014-07-09at12504PM_zps4cee99cb.png)
Chaps, take a number and stand in line.
This poster is up for auction at Roger Jones Auctions this Friday. Also currently on Steve's website for £5k.
Hope everyone is still friends by Saturday.
-
Has anyone experience of this auction house and can anyone tell me the best way to go about bidding online? I'm slightly confused by the site. I understand the estimate price but what does the auction begin at on something estimated at £40-£60 and are there hidden reserves? Apologies for the no doubt naive questions.
-
Bid online via Saleroom.
Best ask direct of the Auctioneer, in this case Roger Jones, as to reserves and whatever this bit meant, "what does the auction begin at on something estimated at £40-£60.... ".
S.
-
I just wondered if an item is estimated at £40-£60 does that mean that the auction begins at £40? I think £40 for said item is already too much.
-
Normally these things start at whatever price has been attained through early bidding prior to the commencing of the actual live auction. There will be proxy bids placed that allow the auctioneer to start 'somewhere'.
Failing any such bids, it is up to the auctioneer to see what the room, virtual or otherwise, will allow.
I do note that RR Auctions begin their bids at some fairly solid amounts though, at least in my minimal experience.
-
Thanks Simes, that's good to know.
-
Most Auction houses only go a certain percentage below bottom estimate, say 15%, 20%, just read the auction house bidding guide, it should be there. If not I usually ring them..
I've bid ay Rodger Jones before, not the most able of poster sellers.... :-\
-
Well, they picked up on the Thunderball issue. Seem it was offered to them with the 'Restored by Studio C' bit, but without the rest of the story until they went back and had a chat. Apparently the text is not up to snuff.
Any guesses as to how much this might go for? The story will be made known to all bidding, of whom I will not be one. Just can't imagine what the attraction of this poster might be.
-
A new one on me entirely.
This popped up on ebay recently, its origins being cinema related but I otherwise have never seen it before nor do I know where it might have been used - Premieres possibly notwithstanding.
Gloss, Single Sided, 30x40 UK Quad and all other markings are present and correct. Has anyone else seen this?
I will pop links here from the Text Only thread...
Cue Matt's, 'Oh for fuck's sake. Another crappy Skyfall quad to collect...'

Did you win it? I saw it, but only bid 50 GBP on it. Not surprisingly, I wasn't even close!

Yup - arrived this morning.

I've seen that version a couple of times on the Bay, but it was always around the £50 mark, so I never picked one up...

Where in the name of all that is holy did you find that?
I have never seen that one either? '60's??
Looks to be in top condition too?

I see a printing omission on this - must make it an even more rare variant printing!!
:D
Nice find though Matt - you've got the magic treasure shovel for sure
-
Printing omission?
-
Maybe he's joking about NSNA!
As for the date, it is likely early 70s as DAF is featured. Agreed on all accounts though, it's definitely a rare one :)
-
Most likely a one off Matt as most of these were, printed up by a single Cinema no doubt.
-
Thanks Paul, I figured as much. Frankly I'm just stoked that it has all the Connery's on one poster! Pretty unique!

Went for £1100 hammer price. ...Which was about £500 more than I thought it would attain.
-
About 1000 GBP more than I thought!
-
A good copy in unrestored form is about £2k, wouldn't you say?
This then went for £1300 with the BP. Unbelievable.

So that means that every one of that French poster run was printed with the same typo.
Why then, would a typo = gold mine? Every copy has this flaw.
Again, just curious. ;)

Moving swiftly on from the latest in blurry, sepia, creepy vids, ebay.co.uk recently had listed some Marler Haley Spy posters.
The quad plus three of the four DCs. The person's listing was as follows.
"Rare original James Bond roger moore poster don't no much about it from house clearance the poster his not mint and as got 2 rips see photos ,have a look at my other posters thanks The poster has marks plus rips and his not mint condition look at photo before biding thanks"
Further to enquiring, the listing was removed today due to, 'My son put them all the bonfire, and I have been sick all day.'
Hmmm. Judging from the prose, it is probably not a bad thing they were removed as you just know the posters would have been packed in the flimsiest excuse for a cardboard toilet roll tube, and what would have arrived would have had no further purpose than perhaps toilet paper itself.
-
Sounds like an off ebay sale to me!
-
exactly
-
I thought so too. Only, the timely mentioning of the coincidental 'bonfire' was a stroke of genius not seen in her English. The message was on the 6th.
Either way, happy not to have bid.

The Spy Who Loved Me Marler set went for a hammer price of £890 today at Vectis. This plus the 25% BP bringing it to ~£1100. The five items went independently but I guess with these things, if someone wants the whole set, one is pretty much committed by the first win.
(I only say 25% as the Vectis software wasn't working on either IE 8 or 11, so I am believing the higher BP will be payable.)

And the Dr No quad at Bonhams today went for £5,250 inc. premium (£4200 exc)
-
I'm surprised you or Adam hasn't started a "Spectre" thread, ready for the new Bond film......

Well, I thought about it but I figured everyone would already have known about the 'news'. The media hasn't been shy in covering this.
As for input, if and when the bullet / octopus design surfaces as a 1 sheet, I will be happy to add to the Bond thread.
-
I've been seeing a slight rise in prices on Bond posters over the last couple months. Is this seasonal do you think, or linked to the SPECTRE announcement maybe? Or is it just plain old inflation? :P

Ask for a replacement - mine seems solid enough. Yours might be a rogue copy.

My luck they're out of stock of course, but I'll give them another try when they have more. It was pretty disappointing to open it and find this (https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7504/15863439878_b9ba79470e_o.jpg).

Stumbled across this listing for a Polish Dr.No (http://www.ebay.com/itm/JAMES-BOND-007-DR-NO-polish-poster-URSULA-ANDRESS-print-lobby-photo-lp-/371217221611?pt=Art_Prints&hash=item566e4547eb).
No idea as to authenticity or value, but I'd never seen that particular artwork layout and I have to say, its one of my favorite with the portraits taken from the film and the way the beach cuts up through the center is genius.
-
That same poster has been re-listed at least 6 or 8 times now -- with no bids. Not exactly sure what it is... probably a commercial design? The size is wrong for theatrically released material (should be B1 size). I would also imagine that if the old Bond films were finally released theatrically in Poland that it would be with the blessing of the studio and their logo would be all over it.
Cool design though!
-
That's a fan made poster like those Bruce Lee's (only Enter was released in Poland)

...which would seem to suggest the existing design (of bullet hole, glass, octopus) will not be officialised in print.
In this era of digitised images contrasting against those who collect (printed) posters, is this heralding of the way in which movies will be concurrently marketed between digital and print.
Perhaps my use of the word 'officialised' is now incorrect? Digital and Print both being official, but only one of them being truly own-able in the tangible sense.
-
And in other news, and in response to that often raised and much discussed wondering as to whether the For Your Eyes Only perforated lobby card sheets of eight 'lobbies' each are in fact Australian... (For example, here (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/350660451343?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0))
I recently acquired an International Distribution Pressbook for the same film. They are listed in there.
So, not Australian. US International.
I hope people can now go about their day with a sense that order has been restored to the world.
-
Well, the poster is unveiled but it is another Empire Design special of 'man in centre' ordinary-ness.
Can't be bothered to stick it in here as it would be a travesty to all other 'designed' posters.
-
Stick it in Simon, I'm still curious.
-
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CAUISw8WAAA-O9O.jpg)
Ugh indeed.
-
You would think with the money they turn over they could have at least one nicely "painted" poster...
-
I preferred the abstract effort of bullet hole and octopus motif.
But this is just Empire's design by numbers. The Bond forums like it as it harkens back to Moore's Live and Let Die shot of him in black polo neck and carrying a Magnum revolver.
From the point of view of better serving Craig's appearance, he is far better represented than the rather too closely cropped, surly and insecure stance he had for the Skyfall posters.
Anyway...

He looks like the russian villain rather than an english hero

Why not just print a blank white poster? Surely that would capture the Spectre flavour nicely

In some cases, it almost makes me think we should be looking to redefine, or accept someone else's redefinition, of what the film poster is supposed to be all about now...
Is this it? Is this As Good as it Gets? (Could be a good film title.)

Not sure if you are directing that comment to Vick or to me Steve. I didn't take Vick ' s comment badly at all. And if that was directed at me I am then not sure why you would find my comment inappropriate. There is a great number of posters with female characters that for some can be great and for others really ugly as this Bond poster. We all have different tastes. And that is what makes this hobby great. Variety!

Ok apologies to Vick. I am likely the one who is in a miserable mood!

Did you win this Simon?
I never commented on it as I was bidding on it, so didn't want to draw too much attention to it... too late was the cry.
-
Hi, no. Wasn't bidding on it.
Just wasn't sure what it was, or where it hailed from.
-
I was under bidder on it, but only because I couldn't bid live, or I'd have went that bit more...
It's a Double Crown, and I'm sure from the first release. Most Double Crowns have much more basic artwork and are not as colourful as the Quads. I know on the ABC circuit FRWL was on a double-bill, as I'm sure it was on the Odeon. I need to dig my books out to just check, but I'm sure thats right.

£400+. Anyone here pick this up? This is reminiscent of that Die Another Day 1 sheet on emp recently. A competition poster.
I was tempted but at that price....

Thanks for waiting until after the auction on the MR Seiko poster :)
My bid maxed out at 220 GBP :(

Simon did you have a go at it yourself?

Nope, must admit I wasn't really interested.
I did look and figured, if it doesn't go above £40, I'd have a pop.... Clearly out of touch with these items!

It went for £96.
So this means that so long as someone has some paper measuring 30x40, paints a James Bond film title on it, it sells for ~£100.
Bloody hell. Was it anyone here? Can anyone now tell me its raison d'etre, and why it is worth anything at all?

(Yes, I do indeed jest, Mr, Simes. ;D )
-
Well, it went for ~$340.
I must admit to surprise at that sum. I have seen, and ended up in buying, only two examples of this poster. Both were on ebay.co.uk and both were ~£500.
This is an example where ebay proved better than emp, surprisingly. Which leads me to a question;
Is there any feeling or experience that UK posters do not fare as well on emp as on a UK based auction site? US posters on emp do very well. Is there not an appetite for UK posters, by comparison?
On another note, this makes for the second large(ish) loss on a poster purchase and sale.
1. I bought from Vectis a Dr No quad which was very heavily restored and perhaps I should have returned it. I spent £3700, and, having returned it to Vectis, it sold, commission free, for £950.
2. And of course the above Goldfinger / Thunderball quad that cost me £500 and sold for $340 - however that translates to me in terms of auction profit.
Quite clearly, I won't be the Next Big Thing in poster dealing!
-
I have to say Simon I think it wasn't a bad price Emovie got for that D/B. As we all know, what items are listed for and what they actually sell for are two different things. I think it was a UK buyer too as I recognise the name who bought it. What you need to think is, if you paid too much for an item, you can't expect another buyer to pay for you mistake. Scarcity does not mean big money, it's all about supply and demand.
And to answer your Question, I do personally think you get more for UK posters over here than selling in the US.There are of course the exceptions but as a rule of thumb.
-
And a better return if you do it by a private sale. I sold one of mine recently and managed to make a very small margin, still..good deal for me.
Hope you have better luck next time Simon.
-
Hi Paul,
The two examples of this poster I bought from ebay on a 99p start. So they weren't listed at anything exorbitant - it was an honest-to-goodness auction in the truest sense of the word whereby both posters found their market value at very similar sums.
So, I didn't make a mistake at all. (I had bought that poster as an attempt at leverage to tempt someone else's posters away from them - this ploy didn't work though.) I was however thinking that with the enthusiastic buying souls over at emp, it would have run away a bit.
Anyway, British posters to be sold in the UK from here on in.

Simon, The problem I have with the bay is you don't know who your bidding against! You may just be bidding against yourself if the seller has his, brother , uncle, sister, friend, second ID, chasing it up. It happens on a daily basis, and that's just the ones I see doing it. So even prices attained on the bay may not be accurate.
I bid on one of those D/B's on the Bay, but bailed when the prices got silly, and I will pay more than most for a text only poster..
The rule will always be, buy for enjoyment. If your going to buy for profit, you must really know your market, and if stuff goes too high move on to the next poster. Dealers will never pay top Dollar. I know dealers who have and they have been stuck with the same stuff for years, unable to sell.. I could post loads of examples, but that's another thread.
-
I daresay some of that will happen with the bidding against oneself on ebay, but to be perfectly frank, this is not the preserve of just ebay but the known deal if going into Any auction. Shill bidders can be everywhere. At the end of the day, I didn't bid in the normal sense but just put in the final bid via Gavelsnipe or some such.
And I am perfectly aware of the rule to enjoy - my initial question was about anyone's experiences of UK posters going for less in the US, than in the UK, and nothing to do with enjoyment per se. And my aim with the sales of the posters was just to recover funds, and Not to make a profit.
With doubles I normally do achieve this (I very rarely have doubles though) but these were just two anomalies that I thought worth sharing.
To confirm, I am still smiling, still enjoying, and not looking to profit.
-
I maybe misunderstood the comment about using them as leverage to get someone else's posters from them..
-
Yeah - this was a flawed plan. I took a chance on something that I didn't have high hopes for, but took a shot at it.
There are a couple of people I know who have a couple of Bond double feature quads and a very rare UK 11x14 lobby card for Goldfinger. I wondered if they would part ex one of theirs for this Gf/Th quad. 'Of course,' everyone says, 'that means they don't 'add' to their collection, just swap something out.'
So they all said No. Unsurprisingly.
The rest of the initial question was just around comparative sales of UK posters on either side of the pond, purely for my edification.
Cheers fella.
-
Posting here, as well. :D
I was watching this... it looked interesting and sold on the bay for only $37.01 USD. The bottom border looks to have been trimmed off. Would this be a first release? A later RR? Or something else?

I reckon for sure, not just UK posters either.
But for sure, UK films and their posters do better in UK than in the U.S.
if for example I was selling some nice Ealing posters, I wouldn't bother in the states. It's of interest to Brits, mainly and probably also to a degree the colonies. For my collecting, I am surprised how cheap US hammer material goes for, even in comparison to the often much uglier Aussie stuff. But I think there is more of an interest in hammer here than in America, and of course in the UK, it's well established as sought after.
So, I think, not just the poster format being British, but the film being British also, usually makes it better to sell in Britain for this stuff.

The SPECTRE quad with the words Experience in IMAX under the Coming Soon words, does exist. For the most part though, adverts for this poster just show a digital image for something without IMAX. It is important to ask first. To date, I've only seen one for sale!
That said, this person does actually highlight the fact his/her poster doesn't entirely have that which they are advertising.

Have you seen this new one, Simes?

Btw, any truth to the rumors that Tom Hardy will be the next Bond?
-
Yup.
Not sure whether this is the final or an interim. Also, there is a Standee version of this that includes Lea Sedoux. Don't really like as Craig is once again under the glare of an arc light, as he was for the final Skyfall poster. And also for a complete lack of artistic merit.
I don't pay any attention to Next Bond rumours until the incumbent has (been) stood down. At this stage, Craig is likely to be up for one more.

Also I went to Autografica where I met :
Lonsdale aka Hugo Drax (1st ever signing notworthy.gif
Dor aka Helga/SPECTRE #11 (ditto)
Lonnberg aka Drax' space girl/museum girl (added another sig to my MR japan calendar , only 2-3 to go now)

And again, for the completists, a version with 'Experience in IMAX'.
Like the teaser quad, these seem to have a limited print run as I only ever saw two of each for sale so far. The rest of the output Not including IMAX references.
The teaser came DS, and, my version at least, of the main quad came on a slightly thicker paper stock and SS!

-
The single sided ones are done at printers local to Imax cinemas, and are not printed up at source, or the main printers. Most Cinemas have these contacts locally. The fellow I know can get all kinds done there....Scary isn't it!!
Anyway this is why there are fewer of that type.
-
So you think there will be a DS version of such in existence?
It would make sense bearing in mind the teaser IMAX poster being DS...
-
It's only a guess Simon, but I think it's possible..

Anyway this is why there are fewer of that type.
Just wondering if there was a misunderstanding. My 'fewer of that type' wondering was more to do with the IMAX reference on the quads this time around. And not specifically the SS element. For Skyfall, all the quads, excepting the 1st teaser referenced IMAX.

-
Hehe... oh oh...Too many finger prints all over the poster...uhm :P
-
I can't help but think what a cool poster SPECTRE could be if they let an illustrator at it.
You BOND fans should petition the studio to honor this series with some retro designs that do the series justice.
Just my two cents.
-
What is the thought among Bond fans about Craig and being Bond?
I look at him and think he is totally miscast in this character.
I don't see Bond at all, when I look at him, especially when I think back to the likes of Connery and Moore.
I think of him as a Timothy Dalton-ish type of replacement (more the nemesis look, like Dalton had, imo, too).
(Again, this is just me 2¢ opinion here)
-
this might be telling, I am not a bond fan, but I quite like the Craig ones.
-
And i should add, that none of the Bond series (films) ever totally grabbed me, even as a kid. The question above (or observation) was/is based strictly on his look and demeanor, as compared to the earlier, and more well known Bonds.
-
I am thinking of revisiting the bond films, i saw a bit of one (Moore) recently on TV and was surprised how cheesey it looked. I might enjoy them more now if they haven't aged so well or have aged very well depending on outlook.
*a disclaimer
As a kid my best friend LOVED bond, and I loved HORROR. When we rented videos he always chose Bond, and usually the same one (the one with the speedboats going over the land, whatever that is called), and I rented horror films.
I was always a fussy kid, I LOVED what I liked and HATED what i didn't love, if that makes sense.
Music, books, movies.
I am much the same now, but I realised later in life that Horror wasn't the only genre to watch.

I love horror, too... Big time.
But i agree... in many ways, the earlier Bond films feel very dated (to me)... and it's probably a combo of things... from wardrobe, to makeup and hair styles to the very distinctive 60's (sounding) scores.
But they are iconic and loved by many.... so that's all that matters. :)
-
dont get me wrong, I dont begrudge the fans, I mean I love KEEP MY GRAVE OPEN and I dont think I have ever met anyone who likes this film.
And I suspect I would like the bond films now without my childhood blinkers on (as I did like the craig ones)

With the SPECTRE posters in general the designer has actually had some freedom.
Anyway...I speak with several members of this forum occasionally and asides from the one I have spoken with already, I wonder if any of the UK fans noticed the Bond posters on "This Morning", ITV, yesterday morning?
-
I thought the same. But then again I am not a Bond follower. I wonder what Bond fans think. Simes, are you pleased with the artwork? To me is lacking uhm...edge...but uhm.... girly2.gif
Hi,
It is what it is.
I marvel at the (comparative) daring that went into the Black Swan campaign where only the three colours offered synergy between the various offerings. Designs and fonts all being completely unique unto their own poster.
The Bonds are currently all stuck together by Empire Design (they have an office in London) (Please note, I use the words 'stuck' and 'office' as being completely unrelated to anything, design.) I am aware that the posters of old had to tell a complete marketing story that, due to TV spots, youtube, vlogs and the rest, no longer should be considered the posters' sole marketing responsibility.
That said, and this is not specific only to Bond, if the complete marketing thrust is no longer dependent only on the poster, then surely, this should give a degree of freedom of movement for some real designers to stride forth. And this Can be photographic. It does not have to be drawn art.
In terms of Bond, Michael G Wilson (the producer) is himself a photographer. I am amazed he signs off on this shit that currently and recently advertises his product. If I had spent $200m on a 'product', then I would be all over this face of advertising.
To be frank, I am at the point where I really think the Bond poster need not be anything more than a construction of 'James Bond', '007', and the 'Title'. Black on White. The rest is completely redundant from an Inspiration Inducing point of view.
-
probably they know people will go.
I don't think Bond fans would say POSTER SUCKS NOT GOING TO THIS ONE.
Though I think they could just get a pic from the stills photographer onset and use one that is more interesting.
But I don't earn a million for thinking up advertising campaigns sop what do i know?

Thanks a lot Simes. Very interesting reading. I didn't know the producer was a photographer! I wonder if those are his photos to save himself money!
I asked because although I am not a Bond film fan I like all the fuss and glory that comes with it. And lately their posters are everywhere and I am rather disappointed. They used to be quite edgy (to me) and now are...uhm..boring (!).
I can see your point about the posters (just lettering and nothing else). But then again..Bond is about Britain...(Great) not (boring) :P I wonder why they cannot look out for new talents out there to make the artwork more interesing.
Anyway...thanks for letting me know. Founded v interesting!

I'm a huge Bond fan from childhood (grew up with Moore though my personal favorite is Connery) and I like Craig's portrayal. He's great with the physicality, arrogance and violence inherent to the character. He is also strong with the characters overall damaged psyche though that has rarely been addressed with previous actors. Daniel Craig has benefitted from strong movies in general. I don't find his Bond as suave as past characterizations. He a little too intense and humorless at times though that does fit the tone of his movies. He does feel like a natural successor to Timothy Dalton.
I'm also not a fan of recent posters. They're repetitive which I understand as its a film series. But they're also usually just a photographic image of Daniel Craig holding a gun which I find unimaginative.
-
Not to be outdone, I have now picked up a set of the banners.
My word, they are big.
I have also not come across a DS IMAX quad poster yet. They seem not to be in existence, unlike the teaser version. And even the teaser, I have still to date only seen two for sale, be they DS or SS.
The 1 Sheets seem better represented by IMAX in both Coming Soon and November 6 variants.
-
Hi all. Been away for a while so please forgive if this has been brought up...
Do you think that with SPECTRE coming out that the price for Bond posters right now (and other memorabilia) is a little inflated? Anyone remember if vintage bond poster prices were affected around Skyfall?
-
For sure. At the same time, this is the time sellers part with pieces you might not see very often otherwise. So it works both ways. I just bought a Live and Let Die 10 photobustas set fir something like $400. I overspent, but then again it was in mint condition and God only knows when I'll see another one. So be it.
T
-
Am sure inflated prices for all tentpole pictures is the same.
The only reason I purchase when I do is that there are one or two variations that come and go very quickly, never to be seen again.
For Quantum, there was the undated final version 1 Sheet. For Skyfall there were a few with obscure months suggesting its release and at least with Spectre, there is one b/w advance Coming Soon IMAX that I saw one of, didn't manage to acquire, and have never seen since.

Can I just say that Rosa very kindly popped a message through to me asking if, before she posted these, I was about to bid on these in case I was hoping for less interest and potential competition.
I must state that I get more information and entertainment from this forum in what IS posted than what is not. I will always advocate just getting on with the business of sharing information as this is what I wholeheartedly subscribe to in the internet ethos of free information - even if this is in detriment to one specific auction process.
Thank you very much, all the same Rosa. Very sweet of you indeed.
Where are these currently up at then? All look very nice. After all, I am a boy!

Thank you. I tried to find other versions, just for my own benefit but failed. It looks very neat. I do like the overall design. He is wearing a nice Savile row suit :P

Never seen it before...!
Must admit he looks a bit strange now that his image has been lipped, making him left handed as opposed to right.

If these Chinese posters are official, then I find these bloody delicious.
Empire Design, they of the 'man in the middle of the poster and naff all else going on' mode of design, take note.

Agree with you Simes, I like both of those designs too, thanks for sharing.
Mondo recently shared how they wanted to release the Skyfall OST on vinyl with some artwork by Martin Ansin, but EON said no thanks and released it with the standard photographic design. I suppose they're very strict on the consistency and content of the marketing message. I guess that whilst the box office $ continues to be massive, they'll stick to that plan. Perhaps they'll cock up the casting after Craig, the numbers will drop off and their tactics may change!
-
I still haven't sussed yet whether they are original, in the official sense of the word.
If not, they are the best fan designs I have seen, like, Ever. If official, about bloody time too.

A mild curio fell made itself known via a large Dallas based auction house and the sale by a well known Bond collector who had decided to point his life in another direction. The Lafayette Theatre in Suffern, New York State is a 1923, one screen affair with a Wurlitzer and enough architectural heritage to save it from the wrecking ball and the advance of modernity. Indeed, in 2002, the Galaxy Theatre Corporation agreed a long term lease and, further to investment, refurbished it to its pre war luxurious styles through to adding an ornate chandelier in 2003. As well as showing first releases, the Lafayette also presents alternative programming and festival weekends. All of which brings us neatly back to the above mentioned curio; namely a set of 12 lobby cards advertising one to Spend a Weekend with James Bond by seeing, From Russia with Love, OHMSS, The Spy who Loved Me, The Living Daylights, GoldenEye, Casino Royale.
(http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b483/simes2/P1020001_zpsutidj6cn.jpg) (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/simes2/media/P1020001_zpsutidj6cn.jpg.html)

The question of how official they are deemed to be should probably be tackled first. These have been designed and printed for a specific theatre for a one-off festival. There appears to be no support or sponsorship for the event by MGM or Eon other than what is implied by the use of copyright images, logos and title fonts. That said, they were created to advertise and market the release of these films for an otherwise well known and respected cinema that boasts its own Wiki page, so one can later deliberate the definition of the word ‘official’.
A set of 12, two cards devoted to each film, the design and production values are perhaps understandably basic. In the bottom white border, each of the film titles utilize the font and logo of the time, a border which also boasts home to a rather lonely and forlorn gun barrel logo and an equally friendless Walter PPK silhouette that has an image of the Bond actor in question squeezed into the hand grip. The UA logo may offer some clue as to the release date of this festival which might be only just after the release of GoldenEye. The only other items of note are a random numbering system whereby From Russia with Love Card 1 does not automatically denote Card 2 is also showcasing Russia. Rather it is OHMSS. In fact, none of the adjacent numbers show the same film. Let us believe the designer was aiming for the scattered approach. And the last point being that, again, a deleted scene is used for Casino Royale which has Bond and femme frolicking around in the waves.
I did send a mail to the Lafayette asking for more information as to what this was all about but so far nothing.
Any info would be great. Cheers.

Nice they are thumbsup.gif

official perhaps not, but ORIGINAL for sure.

Does anyone know anything about the cinema in question? Anyone ever been there?

Yesterday on the Heritage auction, I won a Spy who Love Me 1 Sheet.
No big deal, one might say but this is the stupidly rare version with the blocked capital blue lettering at the top as opposed to the more usual red emphasis on just four words.
As to how rare, in emp's history, they have yet to sell one and indeed I only knew of its existence from Adam's site. So it was with heart in mouth that I was prepared for an ultimate showdown that would take this poster into four figures. But no, $170+bp saw it top out.
Does that sound right, does it astonish?

Nice spot Simes and congrats! I've been casually searching for one for a while now, but I totally missed this one. Glad you got it!

Thanks fella.
I was aware one was going to pop up there as a friend of Nick(?) Firuta, who was selling his massive Bond collection at Heritage, had told me he had one. The lion's share of the fancy items went before Xmas. The rest is popping up in dribs and drabs.
Not sure how much is left now.
I know he also sold his Fleming 1sts on Heritage and he made a fortune.

Got this Imax bus shelter for Spectre. Nothing out of this world, but it's kinda cool, and I don't think it has been posted yet.

Was going to pop this in the June thread but as it has already been discussed in the Post Auction thread, I figured I would spice up the Bond thread some.

Adam, has a Spy Calendar quad on his site. I think mention has been made of a Moonraker quad too?
-
Nice pickup, Simon.
Is the circled 6, in red, part of the original printing? Or was that added by a previous owner, sometime later?
-
Ah, that is covered in the Post Auction thread.
It is a snipe that was presumably added to daily until the Day arrived. I am guessing it started at 9 days, and snipes for 8, 7 and 6 were added.
Presumably, if used until the end, it would have gone to 1 day.
I have asked for some more info from the seller...
-
Thanks, Simon. I did see this mentioned in the other thread, and thought the snipe was the large, red circle, that reads "6 DAYS"
-
I was referring to the circled date of April 6th, down below, in the calendar section. It looks like it was done with a sharpie or other kind of thicker tipped red marker?
-
Ah - begging your pardon. This will have been added in.
The film was actually released in 1974, so the whole 1975 date is a bit of a mystery. This is the thrust of the questioning to the seller who apparently worked in Wardour St in London where the majority of the film distribution offices resided.

Bit of a unicorn this one, for me.
I do not display many posters and the two that I do have are not representative of my collection; which is predominantly James Bond, US and UK. That said, I do have a first release French, From Russia with Love poster by Boris Grinsson and a US 1 Sheet for The Saint's Vacation. Both properly restored, backed, framed and up.
Since I had the Russia poster, I was introduced to this rarity, also by Grinsson, for Dr No. The very rare insert-sized poster. I have no idea what it is called. I saw it once being auctioned on emp, but before the above Russia was properly found and bought. And since then, liked it enough to keep looking. Auction History archives showed that (in the places I know of) it had been auctioned three times only. I am sure you will correct me.
But then, following chats with the chap who I have referenced in regard to the heavily restored Goldfinger Hand Quad and its turnaround to Ewbanks next month, I was introduced to his site....
Where I found and, tonight, bought the below.

Virtually mint, minimal fold lines, very bright colours. I love it and this will also be framed and up. Thereby belying the representation of the collection's content, again.
Here is the chap's site. Woefully under promoted, hopelessly unmarketed, disastrously connected to the trending world - by his own admission. He Only lurks here, FFS.

Funnily enough I had a good look at this on Simon's site as well. Bond isn't really my thing but it's beautiful enough to have caught my eye.
I've bought off of Simon before, very good service.
Congrats on the pick up, deserves to be with a Bond fan.

Yep, I've loved that one ever since T shared it a while back. Beautiful poster, congrats Simes!

Seems to be a good week for me.
Apologies that these aren't going in the August Acquisitions thread but as there are a few threads that these updates could go in...
Anyway, a few may know that I am fairly nuts when it comes to Bond lobby cards. I have basically got all the UK, US and English language international sets, and all of the infinite variations therein. I have even written an article that got popped up on a few sites.
The second of this week's unicorns was a UK 11x14 lobby card for Goldfinger that I have been trying to acquire to complete a set of four. For some reason, back in the day, the UK elected to produce a set of four, for both Goldfinger and Thunderball. They are a rarity. Very few are aware of them. They are however mentioned in the UK Campaign Books but at the end of the day, they aren't as readily recognisable as their US counterparts.
I have been harassing this poor guy to sell this card for the last six or so years. And this week it came good.
While I picked up the one card which is of Connery and Eaton on the bed, having fun, herewith a pic of the entire set. And below that, a pic of the already completed set of four for Thunderball.

-
Does the press-book say just 4 in the set Simon?
Most odd, I have some from this period that have the full 8 in the set.
-
The eight you are referring to 'may' be the FOH cards at 10x8 inches.
The two sets I have illustrated above are in the campaign book as sets of four, 11x14 inches.
Hope this helps.
-
Or, the eight you are referring to are the US sets of 11x14 Lobbies. These are the UK sets.
-
11x14 Simon, the UK also produced this size Lobby cards, usually in sets of 8.
However for these two films they only did the set of 4... most odd. Just shows you never know with UK stuff.
-
Hmm, we get into points of contention here. Or maybe my lack of knowledge.
The UK only started producing 11x14 lobbies for the Bond films from View to a Kill. This was the cross over point where actually, both the UK AND the US produced a set.
No mention is made in the UK Campaign books of any Lobby sets for 11x14 for any of the other films prior to this.
Could I ask you to email over some examples. Think you still have my address from the Chantrell Ewbanks days.
-
Will dig some out Simon. They will be mostly Horror film stuff..
-
Right.
Thought we were only talking Bond here. I know nothing of Horror so you could well be right.

Some time back, I posted an image of a From Russia with Love lobby card whose origins were curious.

(I can't for the life of me find the thread or the post, so herewith courtesy of someone else's blog)
There were thoughts of it being Irish or maybe South African. The Irish connections being the UK art, that the girl iconography shows her dressed and censored as per Irish requirements of the time and the A certificate. The Sth African connections being because, where else could it have come from?
Well, I chanced upon this recently. A Sth African 1 Sheet.
http://uk.movieposter.com/poster/MPW-91915/From_Russia_with_Love.html
(http://www.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/183/MPW-91915)
Similarities between artwork being;
1. the 007 logo at the base of the Connery art
2. the general yellow colour
3. the A certificate, surprisingly.
Differences being;
1. Connery's face seems to have been redrawn or illustrated.
2. the girl iconography is 'freer' on the poster than the lobby card!!
What are your thoughts?
-
Hey Jeff,
Just popped back on to this thread to see about bumping it, and noticed your fine contribution to getting the images up. I tried doing exactly what you appeared to have done but I failed.
Many thanks indeed. Much better.
So, could I harass for any input or ideas as to the origins of the lobby card, or is it just that it is now blindingly obvious?
Thanks.
-
I reckon you have it, not that I am an expert on this, but sure looks like you solved it.
-
Which begs the question(s);
1. Was Sth Africa a lobby card producing nation at this time? Did they produce their own content or did they normally piggy back on the US product?
2. If they did, did the sets come in standard sets of eight, or some other number?
2. The answer to which may answer this one, which is, Was the 'Russia' set a one-off?
To date, I am only aware of just two cards from SA for 'Russia'. The other one detailing a shot from inside the SPECTRE training camp.
Cheers chaps.
-
it MIGHT be like australia, we made our own cards, sets, but usually used US cards with snipes.
But some aussie lobby cards are sets of 8, some more, some less, and you never really seem to know.
(not a good answer for a completist)
-
Hmm. And a Completist be I.
I think I am going into shock...
-
I really dont know, so dont go into shock YET.

The discussed military 1 Sheet.

-
That was a lengthy and painful upload. Photobucket ran the CPU right up, I was diverted to various sponsor sites, everything took for bloody ever.
Anyway, the poster is on thinner paper and some of the printing ink has mirrored when folded. There is a GP snipe over what was just a printed G.
Noteworthy for neither the art nor the printing.
-
What year is that from Simon? Do you think it's a RR that came out shortly after the initial run?
-
Hey fella. Not sure what year. The Return Engagement bit would.suggest a RR.
Knowledge seems to be short, certainly for me anyway.
Cheers.

In regards to the military one sheets:
I've been doing a little digging tonight into my collection for you mate and I have examples of Dr. No and Thunderball. Both are listed as 1971 RR.
-
And another friend says there was one for FRWL... Although I have never seen the art.
-
Adam should give Simes his collection, thanks :)
-
Hey Simes...how many pieces do you have in your Bond collection?
-
Please be assured these answers will in no way sound or look impressive in light of the insanity of T's Bardot thread - or indeed any other like thread.
Suffice to say;
260 UK quads (inc double features) and US/UK/Int 1 sheets.
74 'Other' posters
62 US/UK lobby card sets
24 UK FOH sets
53 Press kits (Or, for example in the case of the early Bonds, collections of the key set stills - in total 737 stills)
28 UK synopsis
25 UK Campaign books
23 US Pressbooks
42 Premiere Brochures (One can see this number is made up of local premieres as well)
And then a selection of other things that have no place on a poster forum.
Ultimately, I am thankfully limited by the number of films, and the fact I decided Not to wander outside the UK/US borders. Otherwise, where would I end? The exceptions to this rule the three posters I have displayed.
And now everyone can go back to the eatbrie thread for their 'wow's and 'ah's.
Cheerio.
-
Ultimately, I am thankfully limited by the number of films
Well, 1000+ items, it doesn't sound so shabby to me. I was looking at Sean Connery's entry on IMDB where he is credited with 94 films (this does include early bit parts and later voice-overs) - maybe you could branch out into a completist collection of his entire career? Then there's a Roger Moore complete collection, a Pierce Brosnan......Come on, you've only just scratched the surface!
-
Sims what a collection - Do you display any at home or just keep away for safe keeping? There would be a lot of people that would love to see that displayed at one time - maybe a bond premiere? An amazing history of bond through the years

The Dr No is amazing faint2.gif
-
Yeah, I do love it.
Apologies, I also have up a Dr No US insert poster. But as this is a fairly well known image, I didn't want to clutter up people's time and capacity for interest.
-
Awesome collection Simes.
Seems to me your posters alone would make an ideal art show.
I admire your commitment!
cheers
-
That's very kind. But I fear that my ring-fencing to the usual countries might make for a fairly obvious exhibition. All the images are fairly well known.
And, at the other end of the scale, looking at 10 different versions of the same SPECTRE poster, just because they have a different date at the bottom may strain the interests of the most forgiving of audience.
An exhibition on just Bond posters would need to be thoroughly broken up with the unusual, like the Hungarian Spy Loved Me poster. Guaranteed to keep'em confused for hours.
-
I agree. The costs of exhibiting are also pretty big, if done correctly in a proper gallery and there's not many galleries willing to put on an exhibition of movie posters let alone just James Bond; at least not here in the UK anyway. Not sure about you guys, but I genuinely believe there is more interest OUTSIDE of the UK than there is IN the UK.

Yes, that's true.
I think I've seen one before; but cannot remember where the hell from.

Some time back, I posted an image of a From Russia with Love lobby card whose origins were curious.

And, without wishing to outstay my welcome, has anyone ever seen this poster before.
1988 dated poster for a 1981 initial release. Looks like some sort of a licensed collectible, but why in '88?

It's a Portal Publications undersized repro that was put out in 1988. Maybe it's that simple as far as why it was produced in that year? dontknow.gif
(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q719/spitfire3992/portal_zpswzcsurnw.jpg)
-
Strange that it was '88. Did Portal do other Bond posters in that year for licensed sell-thru?
For my part, I have never heard of them. In the 80's in the UK, it was Argus that chucked a load of posters out, but they were from the first 10 Bond films or so.
Cheers Jeff.
-
Not sure if Portal did other Bonds that same year or not, Simon. Maybe there is a Portal type site that lists everything they have done? Ive never looked for that, though. Maybe they also did other Bonds in other years, too? Might be worth looking into. sherlockholmes.gif
-
A friend has seen this and responded via email.
A paste into the thread. Credited to Robert (hotwaterbottle)
"Portal printed all kinds of posters and greeting cards, with the movie posters being a small part of it. They were always rolled or shrink wrapped on cardboard, and usually measured 20x30. Their main catalogue in the later years were the classic titles like CASABLANCA, WIZARD OF OZ, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, etc. but they did print some posters for a limited amount of time and in much smaller print runs, like DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, an original FRANKENSTEIN lobby card showing the monster, the original KING KONG insert.
The FYEO poster was probably a small print run poster and available for a limited amount of time. I seem to have a vague recollection that they also did GOLDFINGER, but I could be wrong.
The Portal posters were around even in the late 1960's and were printed on thicker stock and the printing was better. They still pop up on ebay now and then. That said, they remain, at least to me, almost worthless."
So now, I think I will pass on bidding. Thanks to all for the input and information.
S.
-
This thread also discusses and lists a good number of the Portal repros that have been offered over the years:
http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,997.0.html
-
Portal reprint posters were sold in the UK in the 70's and 80's, I bought a couple of them back in the 70's, but don't know their full catalogue. The shops that sold them did have a small, more kind of a pamphlet you could look through to see if there was any others you wanted that the shops didn't stock.. Maybe one of these will surface.
-
Greetings fellow Bond fans. I've been away from posters for a while but they are never far from my mind.
Is it just me or are prices/valuations of Bond material creeping up slightly of late?
-
They have been in a steady climb for the last several years, and just keep going...
-
Portal - as others have said.
When I worked in Vectis we received a load of ex-shop stock from a major company in London. Many of the posters were printed by Portal and the only ones I found to be of any value were the music posters because apparently some of those are now very rare and collectable in their own right. Film posters, however, not so.
-
Yes, in the end, I didn't go for it.
Hope you're well fella.
-
I thought that Roger Moore was a totally pathetic excuse for a spy and after seeing a couple Bonds with him, I couldn't stomach anymore.. He's the man who made me stop seeing Bond (and I had all the Sean Connery Bond toys.. I wanted to be Bond)!! Moonraker, while having cool posters, I think is one of the worst movies of all time
Moonraker was the highest grossing film of the year WORLDWIDE in 1979, something which no other Bond film since has managed and the reason for that is because it was awesome. It had everything, best Bond, best M and Q, best villain (Drax), best henchmen (jaws and chang), amazing stunts (the skydiving and cablecar stuff), Shirley Bassey theme, it even has concorde in it! The only thing missing was an awesome car, but they put that in the next film, the Esprit Turbo in For your eyes only. Also, the amount of money made by Moonraker was not bettered until Goldeneye 16 years later, so looks like most people liked it.
Roger Moore is the epitome of class and sophistication which is why he was perfect as Bond because that was Fleming and Cubby's vision of the character, not the moody angry thug type that Daniel Craig has turned him into, all muscles cuts and bruises. But i suppose that's how the kids like their films these days, all moody and aggressive. Shame really cos the humour was part of what made Bond films so cool. Bring back sherrif JW Pepper, that's whats missing from the new films. -end rant.

They're all part of your collection...so why not mention them
I was thinking you might have that other, more "secret" collection, that is only spoken about in whispers and darkened hallways. tmi ;D
-
To be frank, it is all whispered about in various hallways, dark or otherwise. And on a forum of the friendly and like-minded, of course.
For the most part, and rightly so, no one else really gives a sh1t.

Do you know if Adam also collects this same kind of extra material for the Bond movies?
-
Ah, good question.
I know he will have access to odds and sods, but I don't know if it is collected at all.
To be frank, much of this last list was collected when I called up the companies listed in the pressbooks with some cock and bull story about my being a student in the process of writing a thesis about film marketing and corporate sponsorships and the relationships therein. And to effect such, I would need examples of what they have produced so I can 'review' it.
Now I am older, grown up, and less energetic for such endeavours, much of this has fallen away.
-
Still, I think its very cool that you have so much of this extra, supplemental material. thumbsup.gif
-
Well, thanks fella. Not sure everyone would assign 'cool' to this bunch but very happy to take your perspective sir.
The 'art' has taken over, and ever more so since being here. Hence Boris Grinsson being on the walls now as opposed to something being blu-tacked (UK sticky substance) up on a wall which then left oily deposits on the posters.
Sacrilege, I now know. And since then, all those poster have been replaced by examples unadorned by such rot.

Greetings fellow Bond fans. I've been away from posters for a while but they are never far from my mind.
Is it just me or are prices/valuations of Bond material creeping up slightly of late?
I've only been collecting posters for a short time, and I have to say that Bond posters is one area/genre I've been a little afraid to get into, nearly all the decent bond UK quads (the type of Bond posters I'd mostly want) are "always" expensive, especially any of the Connery Bond films, and many of the best Moore UK quads (Live and Let Die, MWTGG etc.) are also very pricey.
So some fantastic Bond posters around for sure, if you can afford it.

One for the completest of curios. One that could also go into the thread devoted to posters you've bought but never seen for sale anywhere before, or indeed, and in this case, never even seen. Period.
Smith's Crisps is a UK brand of crisps and they seemed to have the clout to get a poster with their logo on it. Something similar to the Seiko-promoting posters for both Spy who Loved Me and Moonraker.
I checked with Adam and he too has never come across it. Anyone here seen it before?
-
Got to say first time I've seen that, well done for getting it Simon. Good job I'm skint I would have give you a run for your money on it... ;)
-
Nice pickup there, Simon. It certainly went to the right Bond fellow.
clap clap.
-
Interesting! Is it a full size quad 30x40"? Do you know if it was meant for theater use?
-
Yup, full size. Folded only once horizontally, they are usually folded twice.
As to its use, bearing in mind I have only now come across it, and am myself of such a vintage that I saw Octopussy in the cinemas, and so saw the posters used for display, I can honestly not say.
One can surmise based on the similar Seiko posters, and I guess they were used for theatre use. But I never saw any of those either; then again, conscious awareness came later '79.

Thanks Tang! I lost track of my videos years ago. Where did you find them?

Not sure what you're referencing. i sold 99% of my posters in 2015 BTW.
-
Ah.
The TND Teaser 1 sheet had two variations. The prominent 007 in dead centre is coloured silver in one, and mirrored foil in the other version. The mirrored foil version was reputed to have been recalled 'cos it caught fire in the lightboxes... So they say.

No mine was not foil.

So I ran across the insanely-terrific opening credits for Skyfall here:

2) As I recall, Lazenby had announced he would relinquish the Bond role after just one movie, so the studio didn't want to use his pic. Is that right Bond MP aficionados, that means you Simes....

My love of Bond lobby cards of the US / UK and English language International styles has lead me to venture into some spurious South African numbers. One has been highlighted elsewhere on this thread, and when someone said they had others from SA, I thought more of the design I already had.
Not so.
Anyone ever seen these? Anyone have the eight card for sale??

The studio is reportedly paying Daniel Craig $120 million to star in the next two movies.
*****
When asked if he’d consider doing another movie after Spectre:
"I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That’s fine. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on."
Craig went on to clarify that “if I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money.”
*****
Dc later changed his mind....
In an interview about his life and career at the New Yorker Festival over the weekend, Craig suggested that playing the iconic secret agent a couple more times may not be such a bad gig, after all.
“As far as I’m concerned, I’ve got the best job in the world. I’ll keep doing it as long as I still get a kick out of it. If I were to stop doing it, I would miss it terribly,” Craig said.

Still a valid claim though, even though I would bet a pound to a pinch of shit that the person bringing suit wasn't aware Eon had bought the rights to the two rogue movies and so had brought them under the umbrella of ownership etc.
-
Well I've got 10 Bond MPs now, pretty decent but not much compared to the 36 I owned in Round 1. (But what possessed me to buy that C- Spectre poster?)

This could go in the other thread entitled something like, 'Posters you've bought that you've only ever seen for sale once.'
I have known of its existence for many years but unlike a couple of other posters that I know of, AND am aware who has them (but not for sale), I never knew who might have had this one. Ebay provided.

You bought it?!? Congrats! I wasn't even close to being the high bidder. As far as I know it's one of 2 U.K. Quads to list all the Connery bonds together. The other being a locally made one I found a few years back. Was yours studio printed? Or was it printed with blank circles and the titles added later?
-
http://www.bondposters.com/Festival_Posters.php
Hi,
I believe the two, top left of this page, are the two you may be talking about. Both are studio printed, no written or stuck on titles added later.
Does this answer your question?
-
Yes and no, the one you bought lists all the Connery film titles, the other only slightly more common "Season of Bond" poster does not. The second poster I'm referring to was a locally made all-text poster with a yellow background. I think I posted it 5-6 years ago when I first bought it. That poster may or may not have coincided with the festival, it's hard to say for sure. I'd dig up a pic for you... but Photobucket moron1
-
Oh!
Not sure I remember the yellow one to which you refer... And was that printed with...what? Film titles again?
Would be interested to see it if time allows.
Many thanks.

Just wondering if you found that text only poster image Harry...
In the meantime, some Bond quirkiness with a bit of Dan Gouzee art thrown in.

Even as Wolverine has kept him on the A-list, the actor hasn’t felt the need to add another film franchise to his stable. At one point, when the James Bond producers were casting a net to find a replacement for Pierce Brosnan, Jackman rejected their overtures.
“I was about to do ‘X-Men 2’ and a call came from my agent asking if I’d be interested in Bond,” recalls Jackman as he dives into a plate of salmon. “I just felt at the time that the scripts had become so unbelievable and crazy, and I felt like they needed to become grittier and real. And the response was: ‘Oh, you don’t get a say. You just have to sign on.’ I was also worried that between Bond and ‘X-Men,’ I’d never have time to do different things.”
Instead of trying to land a 007-style crowd-pleaser, Jackman has focused on proving he can act without the aid of adamantium claws.

Infinitely stupid ideas being tossed around on the Internet and TV blabber shows that the next James Bond should be a minority/woman played by an American.
The solution is infinitely simple: Start a James Bond expanded film universe and have Modesty Blaise Agent 004 have her own movie with the next white British male James Bond 007 playing a supporting role. And JB007 would continue to star in his own movies.
What thinkest thou?
-
More than happy with Bond being played by a minority woman, so long as we can in the same breath consider Hugh Grant as Nelson Mandela and Meryl Streep as Barack Obama...
-
I don't the lead is the issue, it's more the format. Copying the Jason Bourne films for the Craig era worked well, but it's feeling a bit stale again (maybe because Spectre was a dud, I did quite like Skyfall).
It'd be quite interesting if they killed off Craig in the middle of the next film and had a new 00 (female?) agent take over the mantle, but seeing as it still seems to be a commercial success, I doubt they'd be so bold.
-
Well, the sex and colour of the lead IS the issue being brought up by Mel.
If a character, fictional or otherwise, is being described as a black female, then a black female is required. Pertinent to this thread, if people want to explore a black female spy character, then do it on your own dime. Don't piggy back the James Bond name, create your own character. Doing otherwise is both cheap and lacking in courage.
-
Yes, that's the issue raised by Mel, but I think the problem is more that the format is a bit limited. When you there are >25 films telling very similar stories, it's tricky to keep it interesting. Having a female lead would enable the writers to play around with the format a bit more.
I think Mel's idea is pretty decent. Introduce Jane Doe as a new 00 agent, let her take the lead for a few films in the Bond expanded universe, James Bond to cameo and return down the line.
-
'They say' they very briefly flirted with this idea just after Die Another Day back in 2002. Jinx was purported to have had her own spin off script created by the Bond scribes, Purvis and Wade.
It didn't go anywhere, evidently.
-
I've only seen a couple of Marvel films, but Iron Man was an excellent/appropriate supporting role in Spiderman:Homecoming.
A pure stand-alone female spy movie would only get a fraction of the attention a JB Franchise film would. And as somebody suggested, Gal Gadot (with posh Brit accent) would be great choice.
I now remember that MoneyPenny is now played by a black actress, and they beefed up her role, no doubt to diversify the film. But that won't be enough. (Also Felix Leiter has been played by black actors).

Still my favorite JB US 1S, tried unsuccessfully several times to win 6S:

Also mentioned on the Mid Auction Analysis thread which takes into account the reprint market on eBay...
-
Continuing the idea that, like Odeon printing their own Marler Haley posters of yore, cinemas still to this day in a climate of fewer posters being printed, print their own ideas.
More normally now competition based, the quad is printed on a lovely thicker almost vinyl quality paper. The quad also being for the February Acquisitions thread...

Also, this would have been to my mind a $40 poster. Wow.

At $335. as a final high, winning bid, seems someone really wanted to have this one. And how rare are these IMAX posters? Any idea, Simon?

Perhaps common sense will prevail....

We might need someone a little more objective than the current Bond actor’s wife!

Something I had not noticed until I saw an eBay auction stating that his, the seller's, Casino Royale quad was both rare and withdrawn. He had also listed a copy of the letter sent to the cinema manager asking him to destroy or send back the quad in question.
Apparently, the reason given was not the change in advertised date, as I had suspected, but that it was too dark a printing. Another look to compare did in fact show the difference, but that also the setting had been off set a tad, a couple of lights to Craig's left had been removed and a general lightening applied. The URL text and copyright info has been played with as well.
For your viewing pleasure.

This might segue into a previous but similar topic about there being a black Bond.
In the same way that I proffered that was absolutely fine so long as we can reasonably entertain the idea of Shaft being played by Hugh Grant, Or Obama by Rupert Everett, so too can we consider Wonder Woman being played by Hugh Jackman!
I think the idea of women with their own stories and characters is absolutely right.

There are about three people in the entire world for whom I am performing this public service. And what is even further questionable is that I know not one of their names.
Skyfall and SPECTRE had a few one sheets and quads produced. The designs were woeful so this is less about the celebration of art and more about an indexing of variations for the world's three people who could possibly give a sh-t. The timing of this is due to a couple of additions for variations that I had thought not available.
Below is all that I have in my collection so all these have been printed as opposed to the variety of digital images that make their merry way around the virtual world.
SF means Skyfall.
US 1 sheets are also probably the International ones. Read and weep.

That isnt really a recall, a recall is "send them back to us". That is a replace, which is very common when new versions come out that they request this. The destroy is also common as they obviously dont want stuff sold.

In the same way that I proffered that was absolutely fine so long as we can reasonably entertain the idea of Shaft being played by Hugh Grant, Or Obama by Rupert Everett, so too can we consider Wonder Woman being played by Hugh Jackman!
So Bond's whiteness is intrinsic to his character? Not being fictitious, i'm asking as someone who knows fuck all about Bond.
-
Simes,
Just wondering in regards to the recent sale of this hard to find version of Skyfall (link below) how rare it is? I was keen to bid but it got rather high so i thought i would hold out for another copy

Thanks mate

Well, for my insignificant part, about as intrinsic, as I said earlier, as Obama being portrayed by a white actor. Like Weisz said, if women want to play a spy, get their own character. Like Jolie's Salt. One doesn't have to take a lazy route to ticket sales by selling a well known concept and messing with it like that. It would be a gimmick without lasting effect or duration.
Bond in the novels was described as white, with black hair and a comma of which fell over his right eye. Clearly we don't currently have that in Craig's portrayal - it just depends on how much one wants to mess with a character's physical description.
All to my mind of course.

Hi,
Yes. I mentioned this one at the tail end of the post about the two SPECTRE Odeon posters. To my mind it was likely to have been a $40 poster. But, as Bruce said, he had never auctioned one before so I don't know.
I have one I bought when Skyfall was hitting the screens and thereafter did not notice whether others had cropped up for sale.
There were four character banners for the film, of which only one it seems was printed into 1 Sheet format. I never saw any others in 1 sheet form so it does appear to be an anomaly.
But, the price did surprise me.

Craig doesnt strike me as a Bond persona at all. He doesn't fit "the look," and he almost has a face better suited to a villain (in only my mind's eye and thought, of course).
I looked at Timothy Dalton's portrayal in much the same way. Yes, he had the dark shock of hair and build, but he is look always struck me as more evil or sinister. (And maybe that's one of the reasons that his version of Bond was short lived?) dontknow.gif
-
One for here and also the What's on Your Walls thread...
Something I did for a friend who wanted something OHMSS on his wall. Bought from EMP, archivally restored by Alain Bourguoin and framed in Windsor with museum glass (UV and non-reflective).
(https://s6.postimg.org/nqzk0ld4x/OHMSS_Insert.jpg) (https://postimg.org/image/kk50gysot/)
So chuffed was he with the results (all fold lines removed etc.) that he is thinking the way to go is for one insert from each of the actors. Connery, Moore and maybe Dalton if life progresses that far.
-
A couple for the Bond thread and also the March Acquisitions thread.
First up is something that should, in my right mind, make me question myself. Define the interest, define the boundaries, define any damned thing. But lo, behold the 70's oranges, celebrate the bold type, and marvel at the mainstream company tie-in between Bond and Woman's Own magazine.
(https://s6.postimg.org/qice7s3bl/P1020357.jpg) (https://postimg.org/image/uepq3rob1/)
The chap even said in the auction, Ewbank's, 'one only for the completists.' Oh Lord, I thought.

This one might be a little more interesting.
You do this for long enough, time says you've seen all the variations and idiosyncrasies of a particular poster design. Well, a post on this forum lead me to Wolfgang's Kino poster site and there was a Spy 1 Sheet poster that had been sold, the image of which remained though.
It showcased an alternate type and colour for the tag line at the top of the poster. I was obviously aware of the fully red one, had relatively recently been introduced via Adam's site to the all blue one (and subsequently acquired), but this was red and blue in the same font as the all blue version.
A search in the Heritage and emp archives informed me that they had both never sold one...!
An email to Wolfgang got me the email address of the chap who bought it together with the information that he too, Wolfgang, had never noticed the difference. Emailing the buyer elicited no response. The poster itself was in fairly used and abused condition, but nonetheless...
Thinking I had come across something that would Never again be sold, I settled into a feeling of resignation. ...Until the very following week when Heritage popped up a mint and rolled version of the very same poster! Not sure anyone else noticed either (at least, of those who were in the market. A friend did also bring it to my attention) as it went for a reasonable price for a rolled 70's 1 Sheet.
Below the poster and the variations. The red and blue strip is blown up from the Heritage image, not something I took, hence the pixelated artefacts.

Ya think?

Yeah, I saw them at the Westminster Fair mate.
Probably the rarest SF set going.
The Woman's Own poster isn't exactly awe inspiring, but for the rarity it's a no-brainer!
-
Central Hall? Grief, didn't know that was still going?
Did you buy them? Or remember what they were going for?

Central Hall? Grief, didn't know that was still going?

The Westminster Fair has been going for years, but my mate who used to work for them told me Showmasters bought it out which probably spells the end of it. They destroyed Autographica and will likely do the same to this.
I went to buy them, but the guy had already sold all his sets to one person and wouldn't let me have the ones he TAPED to the wall...yes, taped to the wall. I think he sold them for just £60 per set!
-
Hmm.
Seems I am shy of a further three SF posters then.
Of course, taping. The sign of a poster professional. He probably folded them before taking them home.

This guy would often use one set for display and the others to sell.
He once gifted me a few CR character posters as they were damaged due to displaying. I subsequently gave them away to some collector friends. I was never going to sell them in the state they were in.

For those perusing this thread, something copied from the March 2018 thread.
Thomas Nixdorf's original art Facebook site.
"If you like Dan Goozee's perspective art, you can see a bunch of concept arts on this site. All originals owned by the first chap to do a poster book on Bond.
All sorts of weird angles up the Eiffel Tower and on top of the extended ladders of a fire truck. Brilliant stuff."

Nice.
Spy was '77.

Hey, Simon. The GG quad is, shall we say, different. I've never seen one but it's definitely rare. Of the 3 SPY 1-sheets, I think the red and blue variation is the most attractive. What puzzles me is why would UA or Broccoli would change it, unless it was a test run and somebody either approved or disapproved it. A rare curiosity for sure.
If your friend with the OHMSS insert is serious, He'll have a hard time finding a Dalton insert, since inserts for the Bonds ended with AVTAK. Perhaps a daybill could fill in?

Really?
Nope. Same weight. Glossy. All lovely.
-
Yes, really. He paid next to nothing for it so whatever he gets for it is gravy.
I contend that it was a test pressing to see how it would look with the art, credits, etc. This is sometimes done on heavier stock so it can be sent rolled to whoever would approve or reject it. Either way, it's a nice addition to the collection.

Just an FYI... The eBay account you linked to belongs to Egbert. If they are the only seller with this specific rare variant -- that may tell you something. Buyer beware.

Ah. Does he have multiple accounts then? I did think I had got his removed from my search criteria.
No wonder he has two of 'em then!
Thanks Matt. Will now ensure to remove that ID also.
And he has already dropped the price from $350 to $245! And while the poster looks rolled, as was the one from Heritage, he is advertising his copies as folded... Oh well.
-
Something for here and the May Acquisitions thread.
These two posters were sitting around on eBay, unloved and unnoticed. An awful film but I always did like the poster art (and the title theme, if I am honest). A slight exception would be the white(r) poster with the left-handed held gun! An image that did exist in right-hand form, if only briefly for a folder cover, advertising MGM's wares for the Fall films. Bus shelter posters, to boot, which is not normally my thing.

Hey Simes, in looking at that earlier concept and the final, I wonder if produceers wanted this aspect changed, as it might have been a little too suggestive or "on the nose," as the case may be. ;) dontknow.gif

It reminded me of this photo of Brosnan whereby he holds a silenced gun pointing directly down between his slightly spread legs. Not sure why that one was ever released.

We talked about the color of this French Dr. No 47x63in poster somewhere, but I can't remember where, so I'll post it here for future reference.
This poster by Boris Grinsson was printed in 3 different color, a very common blue, a more difficult to find purple, and a rare red. It was later re-released in blue.
I couldn't figure out if the poster was purple or red on EBay, so I took a leap of faith. I didn't want to ask the seller and make him think that there was a difference in color and price. HA has sold a bunch of purple ones, but they all kind of look purple/redish online (prob a result of over contrast). Hard to tell. Even after receiving it, I still couldn't tell, so I had to compare it to the purple. It is indeed the red, which never shows up for auction and a real bargain :) I already own the red poster, but mine (which cost me twice as much as this one 10 years ago) is not in the condition I like my posters to be, and this one is perfect.

Well the article writer does indeed have serious Bond credentials, his argument would get a "C" in law school:
Is it really a stretch of anyone’s imagination to think that, right now, in real life, there’s a handsome, suave and altogether lethal black Brit walking around London, or some exotic den of international intrigue, who’s carrying a Walther PPK and works for MI6?
Wouldn’t it be more surprising — and perhaps worrisome — if there weren’t?
Arguing against this, traditionalists counter that from the very first Bond novel, “Casino Royale” in 1953, Fleming described 007 as a white Englishman, with a Scottish father and a Swiss mother, who went to the ultra-tony Fettes boarding school after having been kicked out of the even tonier Eton. To which I’d respond: Perhaps you guys haven’t noticed, but the films are not locked in the amber of 1953. They’ve changed and adapted to reflect the times — Daniel Craig’s 007 would be lost without his cellphone.
****
And surely the Bond producers will consider the "Wrinkle In Time" debacle. Disney hired a minority director who transformed a charming, eccentric European Christian book into a diversity/New Age spirituality promotional vehicle. It got mediocre reviews and made $130 million, woefully short of the $400 million needed to turn a profit:

I'm droning on obviously, but IMO they do need to (1) makes "Bond universe" films with prominent female/minority stars and/or (2) make Bond the lead actor in a British intelligence team film.
-
I believe Universe films are a fad that, like most fads, will go away once people have had their fill.
And, so long as we can consider a white Shaft and a female Han Solo, surely.... (sarcasm)

Something for here and the August Acquisitions threads. Not of general interest for the masses, to be sure.
My collection is finely tuned to specific areas but does expand to variations within. Hence these two posters that I had no idea even existed until very recently. To wit, Piracy posters Without the FACT logos.

I was just perusing the front and back covers of the GOLDFINGER British pressbook on EMP and noticed something. There are 2 quads shown, the golden girl version which we all know and the hand version. The hand quad shown in the pressbook has the full credits but the hand quad that pops up has the altered credits with "as James Bond OO7" deleted. Was the full credits version something done for the pressbook and was never made at all? Or is it one of those "rarer than hens teeth" posters that never pops up? I personally have never seen this version in the flesh and doubt it was ever printed but perhaps one of our elite British collectors knows for sure. Calling Simon...........
-
Oh dear. To be sure I am British, and a collector to boot.
But the word 'elite' has ways of tripping you up when you least suspect.
Very well spotted but veracity dictates I should say I neither noticed nor do I know of any credit variations of the Gf quad(s).
Interesting though. Have you trawled through auction archives per chance? If yes, I will not bother to undertake.
-
No, Bruce offered up the pressbook within the past few weeks so it was easy to find. No trawling involved. I suspect it doesn't exist in the form shown on the pressbook, but wanted to run it by country of origin collectors who may have some insight I may not have. Like the early Bond sixteen sheets that never turn up; they were made but good luck finding one. It's just curious that UA would picture it that way when then be altered when printed.

Grief. Never heard of the chap, nor of any rumblings of courtship, but others’ praise on other forums is indicative of huge expectation.
1st US director too. Finally, this wall has been broken… I always understood the sensibility behind the UK or Colonial directors, but to mitigate US directors was like mitigating an actor for portraying a killer - if he has never actually killed someone before. For my part, US directors might possibly do away with some of the stiffness of the Bond films.

Just ran across this website. I haven't had the chance to really dig into it yet, but it has large amounts of scenes, behind the scenes shots, promo items and posters broken down film by film up to SPECTRE. The poster section is good, but from what I looked at so far, nothing different than the norm.

The chap says it is 28 3/4 by 41 !!
It looks like one of those 80's copies but the fact it has the Printed by credits at bottom surprise me. And the 80's copies were all roughly 28x36, I thought.
Any help... Thank you.

^ the seller has gone with frame measurements, which means the top has been trimmed? this is just a guess

is almost certainly this (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/13688239.html)
-
Ah! Yes, of course.
Thank you for that. Spot on.
Wonder why they 'reproduced' it without the blue top border?
-
The DAF quad was reprinted at the same time as the other 80's reprints. Why it's larger than the rest is a question.
-
Thanks all.
The auction chap came back to me later in the day and also suggested it wasn't an original.
Best.

original sold at emp yesterday (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/1501546.html)
that blue top looks weird to me. was it meant to have a snipe for a cinema? if not then i prefer the repro for aesthetic reasons!
-
That one had had two snipes.
One to cover the Soundtrack information, and the other to cover the second of the two 'A's for the certification. The second of the two had been removed to show the A.
As for the blue, always there. No idea why the repro did away with while at the same time maintaining the printer's credit.
-
sorry, i meant the poster looked better without the blue top in my eyes and maybe the repo men thought the same!
in those days internet was tiny and they could get away with it? my guesses as usual ;)

The 40x60 was a 1960's stock NSS item with a blank area where theatre managers could change out 1-sheets as needed. This looks like it's been glued down with a custom lettering job. Ruined a perfectly good 1-sheet though, but it does have a different look that's not terrible.
And the winner of the German museum catalog was me, who did well! ;D ;D7

Agree with you. It could almost be a glossy ad from a magazine like Vanity Fair.
This (as well as so many currently produced modern posters), lack original creativity, (and have for Years), unfortunately. :'(
-
I couldn't even be bothered to put this up, this time. Usually one area where I can contribute to this forum, I thought this would actually be a detraction.
Bloody awful. A travesty.
I don’t lament the passing of the painted era, nor do I hanker after a poster that is chock full of action as current advertising avenues have made all that redundant.
What I do think is absolutely necessary, and concurrent to the standards of the Bond films, is a very tasteful photograph taken by a talented photographer to create a mood.
Not this ‘splat splat’ method of presentation.
I would Love with a passion to know how Empire Design was chosen, how they are retained, and what is the thinking behind these decisions and approvals.

And just how many different versions of that poster you’ll be adding to your collection Simes. :)

I know, I know....
I am a slave and a victim to The Cause.

How complete would you say your Bond collection is Simes? being a fellow completist I know it's never actually going to be complete, but if you had to put a percentage on it, what would it be?

99.9%, in terms of what I am prepared to expose myself to. But I only collect UK/US, and within that, not anything above 1 Sheets, no Inserts, 30x40, Half Sheets, Window Cards.
The Wants list in the appropriate forum is basically 'all'. 'All' to no doubt take another 35 years to assimilate.

The Wants list in the appropriate forum is basically 'all'. 'All' to no doubt take another 35 years to assimilate.

My auction might help you out with one or two of those wants, mate!

That's a pretty complete collection, and nice to have a list of what you need to complete.
I don't restrict myself to any format, apart from prints that weren't released at the time of the films original release. Everything else is fair game, which means I don't have a list as such.
Do you have a website for your collection?
-
Gosh no - I really do not have the web skills. And anyway, there are people out there with better of both skills and collection.
I really don't think 13 variant copies of an ugly Skyfall 1 Sheet is going to be pullin' 'em in. Do you?
What I do have is a spreadsheet inventory, all bookmarked and priced. This also serves for insurance purposes.
For example, a portion devoted to SPECTRE posters.

Simes - How do you determine your insurance value? Is it the price you paid for the poster or the price you think it is worth, with reference to auction results or dealer prices? You might have obtained a poster free from a cinema or have "overpaid" for a rare style.

I'm jumping in on this.
Insurance value is determined on so many factors including primarily purchase price (if bought) and replacement cost.
If something is so rare that it has either never been sold before or the last one sold was many years previous, then that's when it gets difficult and where you have to agree a suitable insurance value with the underwriter.
I have heard of people insuring their entire collection as a group without providing any individual items, but as with any claim you have to jump through hoops to have your claim processed. Thankfully, I've never been in such a position.
-
Every time I renew, I just forward to them the inventory.
They say they are happy with this. I also highlight and input the highest value items on the portal.

May I now present to you the advance 1-sheet for NO TIME TO DIE. <<<yawn>>> Can the posters for OO7 get any worse? Absolutely zero creative effort here. It looks like a tuxedo ad with a mildly irritated actor.
No Time To Make A Poster
-
Well speaking of posters, these were up for "James Bond Day" as seen on Good Morning America. I did see people in the crowd holding mini versions of these so paper is definitely out there. The 1-sheets can't be far behind.
-
There is another one for Moneypenny too, at least in digital format.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B5shlPzF0Xj/
Have only seen so far the poster for Bond for sale on eBay.
Curious that the other poster (against blue walled doorway) has not been seen for sale. Wondering if in fact that exists in paper...??
-
Would they more likely be banner art than 1-sheets? I guess you're going to busy Simes :)
-
Well, aside from three character posters for Casino Royale (Bond, Solange, Vesper) and one character poster for Bond in Skyfall (Adam says others were printed but they never seemed to go into circulation), all character presentations were banners for Quantum, Skyfall and SPECTRE.
Thing is right now, I am not seeing anything hanging in cinemas in my area, be they posters OR banners. So, really do not know.
For No Time to Die, what have people seen available right now? Guessing just the Bond character poster...?
Let's assess what they print, and that'll tell me if I am going to be busy. ;)
-
All I've seen so far are digital Character posters, maybe time to invest in a nice display?
-
During the Good Morning America event in Times Square people in the crowd were holding what looked like mini posters, 16x20 maybe, of the Malik, and Lashana Lynch versions. The Craig posters were the tuxedo advance. All of the different versions may have been printed and distributed to the crowd, but I didn't see the whole show. I'll check YouTube later.
-
Just checked what was up on YouTube. Looks like only the Malik version was printed as a mini poster. The Craig tuxedo advance was printed as both a mini poster and a large 1-sheet size poster either on boards or mounted to poster boards. The other versions were nowhere to be seen.
And as usual the interviews were next to useless, because "everything is a spoiler" today so nobody said anything of note.
-
It could be that it is just a question of the wrong questions being asked.
'Can you tell me what happens in the film', not being as professional as 'Have you been to Jamaica before, how did you find it during your down time?'
For example. I mean, the journos know they ain't gonna get nuttin', so why ask at all?

This one is for the rarity file and precious little else.
Made known to me via cabmanray many years ago, I have never seen one for sale and aside from the aforementioned chap, never known anyone else who owns one either.
In terrible condition; seam separation, water marks, edge creasing, paper loss and perhaps even fading, and on the most brittle and what must have been the cheapest paper made available to the military, since perhaps all other available funds were put towards tanks and K Rations, one Military From Russia with Love 1 sheet.
I currently know only of two other Bond films for which posters were 'designed' and issued to the military; Dr No and Thunderball, both of which are far more commonly known and available.
Anyway, am not sure this will elicit much in the way of discussion so perhaps this serves only to prove I am still alive and up for contributing where possible.

Ah! See, I told you another one would turn up someday! The poster is from the 1968 - 1970 period. The GP sticker is covering the original M rating which was in effect for only a couple of years. The condition is pretty beat up; are you going to go the linen backing route or will you just leave it as it is? Congrats, in any case! ;) ;D7
-
It's fun to see your rare military base Bond poster, Simes! I went to a few movies on base back in the day, though can't recall any longer if they were different. That would have been in the early 1980s. Okie
-
I will leave it as is. No linen backing for such an item.
Indeed the only linen backing I have for the Bond posters are for the first four films' US 1 sheets. Nothing else is backed.
Cheers fellas.
-
Congratulations Simes. Looks like it has found the perfect home.
-
More just to demonstrate forum contribution than to showcase 'art'.
The below. Which of course includes the 1 Sheet UK and International variants...
Although, even though these images were saved correctly rotated, they have nonetheless popped out as they were photographed. If there is a mod who can rotate, and / or tell me how to avoid such embarrassments… Cheers.

Must be about the third time Vectis have shifted this poster.
The first time was to me, in my less cognisant years. It is a real mess.
Time to put it to bed I think...
-
More OO7 wrapping paper! 2 releases in one week! The IMAX poster is pretty poor; the word IMAX is bigger than to logo. The black and white (and blue for Craig's eyes ???) is more interesting. This is the version from United Pictures International South Africa with complete credits. Another version (domestic?) was also released without the credits and just a "April" release date. I'm more interested in what the fan art contest will turn up.
-
I'm more interested in what the fan art contest will turn up.
Me too!
Curious that for the 'printed' teaser material, which in the case of the UK, extends more broadly to just vinyl banners of the character images, only Bond, Safin, Paloma and Nomi are showcased.
But in this latest material (not yet known if to be printed), it is Madeleine. And, Ana de Armas is not credited on this poster.
-
Lord, will the mediocrity never end? Here is yet another sub par effort, aka some sort of promo poster. It looks like a cut and paste job of the previously released advance 1-sheets glommed together to make this. Blech!
-
This hasn't been released on the 007 official site yet. Am wondering if this is legit.
To be sure, people have likened it to the most recent of Mission Impossible: Fallout posters.
Seems to be in good company if nothing else... :-\
-
Ah good ol' bond collectors, the only crowd that cares about 25 variations of the same poster ;D
-

As the film has been pushed back 7 months, that’ll be 50 variants now! The April dated posters and now the soon to be made November dated posters?
-
Looks like the Coronavirus has pushed the release date back to November. I guess that makes even more posters for Simon to collect. The April release date versions may become quite scarce.
-

This was the same though I had when I saw news of the delay.
-
It could go either way. The same advances could be reprinted with the November date, or they could go in the other direction and give Empire Design the kiss off and go with another firm that can come up with something way better. They've got the time to do it now. Either way, it looks like Simon is gonna be busy this spring! ;D
-
I doubt they’ll change from Empire. Most probably just a date change and the campaign will continue as planned.
-
Aside from feeling sorry for myself, I feel sorry for the talent.
They will now have to speak of all this for seven long months meaning, by the time 'promotion' is due to kick off again, they will be thoroughly bored of the whole damned topic.
As for posters, was thinking about this. They wouldn't trot out the exact same designs would they? A sprucing up to differentiate from the old would be expected, no?
As for scarcity, one bright spark on ebay has already got one teaser up for £475!
-
As for variants, they have really cut down on all this nonsense this time around.
For Skyfall and SPECTRE, there were seven teaser 1 Sheet variants between the US and UK. Not even a fact any sane person should Know, much less be sharing. This time, three.
Of course by the time the film comes around again, it'll be back up to seven!
-
just what the world needs - more JB posters(https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji849.png)
-
It says "James Bond" on the tin so why complain :P
-
Well it looks like we're getting the same ol' advances again, at least of Craig. A side by side comparison shows "November" on the new 1-sheet, and Bond's gun has been altered. Looks like a silencer or a different gun but it's bigger. Yes, Simon will be busy this summer. ;)
-
Where did you find that?
Note they now don't say November of which year...!
They've rejigged Craig somewhat, made him fill more of the poster... Oh well. Was hoping for a redesign, especially since the recently closed TalentHouse Art Competition brought some real inspiration to the world of poster art.
https://007.talenthouse.com/i/design-artwork-inspired-by-daniel-craigs-bond-films/submissions. Of which, for a modern poster, I like this one.
https://007.talenthouse.com/i/1746/submission/407130/2bf7d635
Is aware that you really don't need much more than the title plus a '007'. Immediately eye catching, plus if you want to hang around there are things to search for.
-
The above November poster was a fan just having some fun with the Spot the Difference game.
Anyway, three posters, two which arrived in March and one today, in April. All posted in March but again here just for completion.
Minor differences to the three aside from the dates. All 1 Sheet sized and all double sided.
-
The one at the bottom seems fake to me. It looks super cropped. Imax is too big. Do you actually have it in hand?
T
-
Indeed. All posters are most definitely in hand and compared before popping up here.
If you note, all the posters have been cropped differently - even the two US April posters, of which one belongs to the AMC chain.
I bought the Coming Soon one from Thailand. It was a punt but the chap's feedback was positive and he packed an absolute dream. This same is being sold from Singapore also, but also from the US based Ddilts.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/No-Time-To-Die-original-DS-movie-poster-27x40-D-S-Bond-INTL-IMAX/313044716990?hash=item48e2eb4dbe:g:zTgAAOSwckdefRwj
So, there is a degree of comfort gained from this association.
-
Okay. I trust you most. Dale doesn't have it anymore, so I'll buy one from Singapore.
T
-
Dale! That's the chap's name. Completely forgot...
The Thai guy is highqposter on eBay. Good coms and packs a treat.
-
Are you after the banners? Seem to be popping up on Ebay.
-
Hi, yes I am after the banners.
That said, I bought what I thought was a complete set of four (Bond, Nomi, Safin, Paloma) only to find that there is at a fifth (Madeleine) and from hearsay, a sixth (Q). This set I bought for high £200s.
I am in need (one can quantify this 'need' later) of Madeleine and Q.
Only Madeleine is currently available on eBay but at £350. He isn't coming down, yet.
-
Sets can be a challenge. In my inexperienced days I would never buy partial sets or singles. I now realise to my cost that’s not a smart move. My completist self has learned to love the partial set, in the hope it will eventually become complete.
In my experience banners are becoming harder to track down. Some sets will no doubt remain incomplete.
-
For both Skyfall and SPECTRE, the sets were of four. Bond, Baddie and two girls. I thought when buying the NTTD set it followed the same ethos.
But from what the seller was saying, sets of four were distributed but that the sets were different concoctions in this film.
Will find 'em eventually.

I've had this piece in my collection for over 30 years and I've never seen another like it. I lent it for display when the Lafayette Theatre in Suffern NY played it with their Big Screen Classics series years ago. The insert and lobby cards are not mine. I acquired it in the mid 80's from a man I dealt with who was raiding the UA vaults. It's printed in 3 pieces, and is in need of linen backing.
-
Do you happen to know the name of the poster size of your YOLT Bond, Cabman? Okie
-
No idea. I've never seen another like it. I'm assuming it was made to be glued to walls or those tall column-like poles all over France. It looks like they took the top part of the almost lifesized poster of Bond, trimmed it down to a thin poster, printed the top Sean Connery Est James Bond and the bottom with the title and the theatres where it played.
I found it in a box with a lot of miscellaneous UA still sets from the 50's and paperwork that my connection was diverting out the side door and into his car. It was originally taped together with that nasty Scotch Cellotape which fell off, dried and crumbling, when I opened it. As you can see the tape did it's work by leaving a long brown stain on the top of the poster. Don't ask me about value because I truly couldn't say. I think it's safe to say it's fairly rare though.

Congrats on that one Simes, I see that one myself earlier this morning and wondered if anyone would snap it up being such a rare Bond find, it was a bit out of my "current" price range.
I'm a massive fan of Dalton's Bond and IMO his two films are two of the very best in the series, anyway great! pick up mate notworthy.gif

Thanks fellas.

Here for your "enjoyment" is the latest piss poor excuse for a poster for NTTD. Note the November release on the bottom. I really wish this was a joke but apparently not. Bollocks!!
-
I am driven to despair
-
This has to be fan made. It has to.
T
-
Sorry T, it is on 007.com. So unless that has been hacked.
I am not sure this 'poster' will be printed, lack of credits etc when the bullet ridden Aston poster is now being printed and found on eBay.
I am sure it was thrown together to advertise the fact a trailer is being released at 12pmGMT today.
That all said, I can't get away from the idea that Bond is looking a little hunched over, or falling forward through imbalance. Supporting himself by his watch hand on a zimmer frame or some such. Maybe a walking stick…?
And all this after the poster competition that brought forth veritable landslides of creativity and execution.
Sorry to be ever the voice of derision. Am sure the kid who popped this together properly earned his sandwich.
-
I saw a someone selling one on Facebook, so I think it has been printed.
It looks like James is opening the gate at the end of his front garden to pop out for a day’s work.
-
The last poster made to advertise a trailer was Bond poking his head around a doorway looking not a little furtive and worrisome.
This was another winning design. But it was only ever printed as a maxi poster. Not for theatres.
This latest could just be a chap cashing in on printing a hi res file. But let's see.
Do you have a link?

Proved completely wrong!
Not at all! And spot on regarding the trailer, looking forward to giving that a watch later.
-
I don't have a problem with photographic posters but this seems lazy even for a modern Bond poster. Especially as they've almost done this design before:
http://www.impawards.com/2012/skyfall_ver2.html
-
And Craig, bless him, looked just as impressive and as commanding there as in the NTTD poster.
Craig is a Co-Producer. I swear to God, if I was in his position I would not be allowing my image to adorn posters like this. Michael G Wilson, one of the producers, is also a photography fanatic. Where's his input?
-
That all said, I can't get away from the idea that Bond is looking a little hunched over, or falling forward through imbalance. Supporting himself by his watch hand on a zimmer frame or some such. Maybe a walking stick…?
Not that I think my Paint skills will help my words, but this was what I was getting at.
-
^That is good, Simes ;D
The designer is on Instagram (click through where he credits the photographer in his comment). I like some of his previous work (the quads for Death Proof and Hunger), I'm guessing the brief for a Bond poster must be pretty restrictive...which sucks for us collectors, but I suppose ticks the boxes for the marketing department.

No Time To Retire
-
thumbsup.gif Well done, Simon! Would make a great door panel!
Here's a thought. Perhaps Empire Designs produced this lame excuse for a advance 1-sheet to close out their deal with Eon and will use one of the fan produced posters as the regular style or one of the in theatre giveaways. If you go back and check out what the fans came up with almost any, ANY style there absolutely destroys this shit. If they go with Empire all the way this could be the first Bond film I won't get any poster for. It's almost as bad as the first advance for QoS. This is just fucking wrapping paper.
-
Well, this landed today.
Mint, DS, better than the above.
-
Apparently, this has also been released. Bearing in mind I was wrong about the 1 Sheet, I daresay now this will also be printed.
Which, if so, seems to be indicative of a step backwards from the black Aston poster above. No credits and very little else.
-
That one really is awful. I guess it wouldn't be a quad though as it has a PG13 rating so maybe a subway.
-
Good spot!
-
Well, this is the printed quad.
And, without wishing to grind on, it's bloody hopeless. I swear to God, if I had an intern and this was all they could come up with, I'd have called it a day on the internship...
-
I would love to know how a design like this is created. How much input the film makers have in the decisions or if it really is just down to the marketing department/designers. I'm sure the designer is following a pretty strict brief to produce this.
Maybe we overestimate the importance of the poster. I have to admit I have little interest in James Bond so I don't have an attachment to the posters but having seen the trailer I really wanted to see the movie. So maybe the efforts go into producing the trailers rather than designing the posters?
-
Yeah. If I had dropped £200m on a product, I would want something more inspiring, and perhaps more importantly, in keeping with said product.
Don't understand it. One of the producers is a big photography buff too, one might have thought he'd have weighed in and sorted them out. or, dumped Empire Design altogether.
Bloody hopeless.

All the "new" character posters are the same shots as before but the background is different, like the latest Craig advance.

13 here, including the previously released Bond one.
https://www.007.com/new-no-time-to-die-character-posters/
In the UK, six posters have been released. In the above link, they are saying all these will be in the cinemas. One wonders if they are printing so much because nothing else will be released around then. All the wall space will be theirs.
I suppose they will have to be collected. Hope they don't do them twice for the US and the International market!
-
It seems the previously released Bond b/w poster was just a part of a wider set of six character posters, at least here in the UK. Let's see what the US prints.
Anyway, herewith the glory.

I got them all yesterday, just so I can move on to something else.

Of limited interest to only the most insane of Bond poster fans.
I recently decided to compile a list of all the US / UK / US for International (English language) 1 Sheets for the Bond films.
I came across an R80 for OHMSS that had both Dom and Int versions. It is the only film title for the series that printed both. Is this news? (Note: I am not asking if it is interesting.)
(btw, for those searching at emp, different search results come up for both 'Majestys' and 'Majesty's'. The apostrophe.)
Best.

And the goodness continues to flow in.
The UK 1 Sheet. As distinct from the US and International ones which I daresay you are dying to see the differences from, and which I am obligated to pop up once arrived.
(Sorry, have tried twice now to get it portrait, but it is not playing)

I miss the old Bond poster days...the lazy photoshop era is most exposed with 007.

Stop worrying about Bond and whatnot and start concentrating on your awful Celtics.
Go Lakers!

Well, Covid-19 has once again pulled the trigger on OO7. Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have officially announced today the November release of NTTD has been scrapped. The new release date, at least for now, is April 2021. This is assuming Covid hasn't completely destroyed the theatergoing experience. Here is the NY/NJ area it's been a total disaster. The only theatres open are the big chains like AMC. Almost all the smaller neighborhood theatres are dark, and likely to remain that way for some time, if they open again at all. I know of at least 2 local houses that have shuttered permanently. One is in the process of being gutted and turned into self storage and one is up for sale. It seems like at least for now the only safe way to see a movie is in a pop-up drive-in type of set up. But with winter coming on, they will disappear for at least 4 or 5 months depending on the weather. Sad times indeed, my boys, sad times.

Yeah just heard from the cinema I work at in the UK same here, gutted. Still on furlough here and was hoping to get back to work next month for Bond - now fuck knows what's gonna happen in the UK cinemas. Who indeed are going to survive. These mainstream cinemas need to do some adventurous programming as they are all showing a pile of shit films at the moment!
-
Which cinema is that?
I believe a number of them were pinning hopes on Bond to provide some revenue, if not profit. Feel sorry for the whole lot of you.
Looking at other sites, it seems there was some discord between MGM, who needs money (as they always do), and Universal who can afford the longer game. So all the marketing with the November date was MGM releasing it and hoping Universal wouldn't blink. Well they did!
-
Which cinema is that?
I work at the Printworks 20 screener in Manchester. The cinema reopened a month or two ago but didn't take back all the staff and were hoping to bring us all back in for the Bond release - can't see that happening now as the hours for those that are working are shit due to the lack of box office films and poor attendences. And Covid in Manchester is not getting any better!
-
Oh God, you're up there.
Very sorry for you.
Erm, keep smiling!

I agree, these posters for the Bond film are a pile of pants!! Might be worth a bit of money in years to come but as for the aesthetics - they are boring character photo posters. I wouldn't grace my collection with them.

For anyone interested, this website has listings for thousands of theatres worldwide. Might be helpful if you want to check on your local cinema or just want to explore.

An interesting, and hopeful, way of selling many posters.
Was going to stick this in the Sellers' Experiences section but didn't think was worth a separate thread.
£80k for roughly £25k's worth of posters. And doesn't even show images of all the items, never mind close ups and detailed descriptions.
Bless.
-
Postage is only £9.50 though, so that's quite reasonable for all those posters.

Hi,sims are you picking anything from Eubanks ,cheers Paul.
-
Hi, not this time.
Possibly for the James Bond auction in November, if that is not again postponed to tie in with the ever postponed film. Follow my leader...

possible interest to jimmybond fans

As you all probably know by now, NTTD has been pushed back again, to October 2021. For now anyway. Don't be surprised if it gets pushed back again.
MGM, has already updated the latest wrapping paper...........oh, sorry............poster with a October date.
(For what it's worth, the image I have won't upload! Grrrrrrrrrrr)

Chaps,
Does anyone have any information about the below lobby card?? A new one to me. The UA logo may provide inspiration.
Many thanks.

I know nothing about it.
I believe the design was used for LPs and the laser disk advertising, and packaging design. But otherwise, nada.
Sorry.

Thanks Simes! I’d never seen it before so was curious. Quite a nice looking poster.

I have seen this image (emovieposter) on a Japanese R70 - but that quad looks great.

Having asked around a few people, I think this is just a piece of nonsense that has been assigned legitimacy through a 'Heritage sale'.
-
It says its an original UK rolled quad. never seen it before either. How much did it go for anyone know?

A further James Bond auction is popping up on Ewbanks.
The poster that is previewing the event is one that will actually be up for auction. An unusual DC. We have been trying to provide identification for it, I have pushed the request out to a couple of people further to my complete lack of knowledge and, all we can assume is that it is a reprint, pre 1967.
But the differently coloured bikinis are providing pause for thought. They are not censored, so not necessarily an Irish edition.
Anyone out there with some thoughts?
Cheers.

Can anyone tell me if they have ever seen this version of the NTTD poster that did the rounds for the best part of two years.
In the UK, there was no final release quad for the film, and in the US, it seems that while there was a final release 1 Sheet with full credits and blue titling, I have only ever seen it for sale twice on eBay. And one of those was only found subsequent to a Sold listings search.
While also added to the Wants list, if anyone has one for sale, please get in touch. ...and go $easy on the rarity angle!
Thanks.
