The Most Comprehensive Collection Of Bond Movie Posters<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
On The 50th Anniversary Of James Bond LOS ANGELES- Oct. 24 2012<\/strong>– Profiles in History, run by Joe Maddalena, is proud to announce that the most comprehensive collection of James Bond movie posters to ever reach the market will be a part of their December 15 & 16 Hollywood Auction in Los Angeles. Not only is\u00a0 every title in this perennial and ever more popular series represented with an extensive range of the regular release posters, stills, and other ephemera (most rare enough in their own right), this collection also offers a number of truly scarce \u201choly grails\u201d of James Bond poster collecting. The Bond poster collection is estimated to bring in over $200,000. Highlights are below.<\/p>\n A \u201cDr. No\u201d Special Advance Silkscreen U.K. Double-Crown (20in x 30in) Poster from 1962<\/span>.<\/strong> This poster is arguably the very first \u201cJames Bond\/ 007\u2033 film poster to appear to the public. The poster is exceedingly rare, and without question a \u201choly grail\u201d of film poster collecting. Very Fine on linen, with only minimal routine retouching. It is expected to fetch $3,000 \u2013 $5,000.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom Russia With Love\u201d World-Premiere Advance U.K. Quad (30in x 40in) Poster from 1963<\/span>.<\/strong> The poster is a special advance Leicester Square world-premiere quad poster. It is quite possibly the rarest of all theatrical-release James Bond posters, with very few originally printed for the premiere screenings, and less than a handful believed extant. The artwork is done by by Renato Fratini. It is expected to fetch $10,000 \u2013 $15,000.<\/p>\n \u201cGoldfinger\u201d U.K. Advance Double-Crown (20in x 30in) Poster Style \u2018A\u2019 from 1964<\/span>.<\/strong> This poster is considered one of the great rarities of James Bond poster collecting. It is expected to fetch $4,000 \u2013 $6,000.<\/p>\n \u201cGoldfinger\u201d U.K. Advance Double-Crown (20in x 30in) Poster Style \u2018B\u2019 from 1964<\/span>.<\/strong> Like the style \u2018A\u2019 this is also considered one of the great rarities of James Bond poster collecting. It is expected to fetch $2,000 \u2013 $3,000.<\/p>\n \u201cThunderball\u201d U.K. Quad (30in x 40in) Poster from 1965<\/span>.<\/strong>\u00a0 This is a \u2018Quad\u2019 poster, first issue with sea-foam green background (later printings exist with white background). Along with \u201cFrom Russia With Love,\u201d this art illustration by Robert McGinnis is arguably the other most attractive and desirable for any of the U.K. poster designs. It is expected to fetch $4,000 \u2013 $6,000.<\/p>\n With well over 100 original posters and another 100+ stills, lobby cards, scripts, press-books and more, this offering vastly eclipses the 1998 Christie\u2019s South Kensington \u201cJames Bond 007\u201d sale. In the upcoming weeks, more James Bond memorabilia from this unbelievable collection will be detailed.<\/p>\n
