Table of Contents: James Bond 40th Anniversary Update

Many have been asking about the packaging of our "James Bond 40th Anniversary Trading Cards" which come in a 20-pack box, versus our usual 40-pack-box. We want to emphasize that collectors will still get the very same number of bonus cards from each box despite the fewer number of packs. There are still 2 autographs per box, regardless of the number of packs, as well as all of the other great bonus cards. There will also still be one base set of cards guaranteed in each box.

The key difference here is that we wanted to be able to create a base set of cards that was of superior quality to our usual base-set printing. These James Bond cards will be printed thicker paper, with a special "liquid foil" treatment and more foil stamping, too. Based on feedback from numerous dealers and collectors, we felt it would be more appealing to have a stronger looking base set, so we have put more money into making the base set so nice. In order to do this, however, we had to cut the number of cards printed. In the end, the base sets will look incredible, much nicer than the usual base sets, and they will be much more collectable, and more likely to have stronger secondary market value.
