2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary Series 1 marks the first of two trading card sets that go together to delve deep into the film franchise. While both stand on their own, some key elements are certainly meant to go together.
Like most Rittenhouse James Bonds trading card releases, autographs are a key draw with three landing in every hobby box. However, there are also several other inserts to go with them that shed further light on the movies and their characters.
2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary Series 1 Checklist Overview
The base set has 99 cards and is one of the more premium releases Rittenhouse did with the franchise. Fronts are all have gold embossing as the checklist runs through the first 22 Bond films from Dr. No through Quantum of Solace. But there’s a bit of a twist. Series 1 has only odd number cards from 1 to 197. In essence, it’s only half of the full collection. By going the skip-numbered route, collectors are basically forced to go after Series 2.
All 99 base cards have Sparkle Foil parallels that add speckles to the background. These land 1:3 packs.
Autographs are a mix of 40th Anniversary and Full-Bleed designs. Pierce Brosnan is the biggest on the checklist, which has more than 50 cards combined. Among them is a six-case incentive Honor Blackman autograph.
Dr. No Throwback is kind of like a second set within the main release. Spanning 108 cards, it runs through the entire film similar to what a mainstream base set might look like. Even at one per pack, the size makes it relatively challenging to build.
James Bond Shadowbox (1:96 packs) is a more premium insert. These use acetate and multiple layers to spotlight three James Bond actors: Sean Connery, George Lazenby and Roger Moore.
Gold Plaques (11 cards, 1:12 packs) act like a title card for the featured films. The fronts have the title art done with gold embossing. These take a page from Star Trek inserts that debuted with Fleer/SkyBox.
Other inserts on the 2012 Rittenhouse James Bonds 50th Anniversary Series 1 checklist include Bond, James Bond (11 cards, 1:12 packs) and 007 Gold Gallery (18 cards, 1:12 packs). An additional Gold Gallery card was exclusive to the Rittenhouse Rewards program where collectors could send in points from the company’s wrappers.
