Product Details
2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary celebrates the spy's big-screen birthday in style. The 100-card base set tracks James Bond through the first 22 movies in the franchise, starting with Dr. No and running through Quantum of Solace. Packed with value, boxes are highlighted by three autographs. Former Bond, Pierce Brosnan, is one of the confirmed signers. Rittenhouse has also stepped up with their inserts, offering a handful of sets that aren't necessarily tough to find but will prove to give just enough challenge for those going after master sets. Inserted one per pack, the 108-card Dr. No set is like a set within a set. If that weren't challenging enough, there's also a gold foil parallel that falls just three per box. Other inserts include the silver foil "Bond...James Bond," gold foil plaques and gold gallery cards. Rittenhouse is also debuting a pair of James Bond Shadowbox cards that are inserted 1:144 packs.
Product Configuration: 24 packs per box, five cards per pack

Product Review
2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary Series 1 Product Review
Reviewed by Ryan Cracknell
Good: Attractive base set that stands out from the many other James Bond sets that have been released over the years, Dr. No vintage-style set hopefully starts a new trend for future 007 sets, lots of quality inserts to ensure multiple box breaks have variety.
Bad: Base set is skip numbered to only include odd numbers, most of the autographs have little appeal outside of big-time James Bond enthusiasts.
The Bottom Line: While I'm not the world's biggest James Bond fan, I had a blast with 2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary Series 1. I think part of that is that I've only ever collected a couple of 007 sets in the past so I don't notice as much repetition with images as other collectors might. The embossed gold foil base set is striking. Most of the inserts have personality and don't feel like filler. They're also challenging enough to encourage collectors to buy multiple boxes without feeling ripped off.
The important thing with this set is to take your time with it and enjoy its many elements. Those ripping through quickly in search of the three autographs per box will likely be disappointed. There are relatively few big names that recognition for their roles outside of the franchise.
Not only is this some of the most fun I've had with a James Bond set, but it's also one of the most well-rounded sets thus far this year.
Card Design: 4.5/5.0
The 2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary base set design is that it reminds me of 1996 Fleer Ultra Gold Medallion, one of my favorite parallel sets of all-time. The card front is dominated by gold foil, designed to look like the iconic opening credits . The 007 logo at the bottom of the card is embossed, giving the cards a distinct texture. I have heard some complain about the small photos on the front. While I do agree they are on the small side, they still fit in to an overall concept that works.
Card backs have a separate photo at the top that nicely fades into a film synopsis. It is a very regal look that compliments the striking fronts.
The Sparkle Parallels are fun, although I'm not sure if they are distinct enough to add a lot of value. Perhaps if they were done with a silver foil, they may stand out more.
Collectors should be wary that the gold foil makes even the smallest corner nicks show up. I pulled numerous cards like this.
Of the basic inserts, the Dr. No cards are my favorite. Done as a set within the main set, they have a distinct vintage look and feel. Card fronts are a simple black and white photo that have a white border and a small 007 logo. The old-time card stock is the clincher.
Rittenhouse is also going heavy into Shadowbox cards with most of their releases now. While they're not holding a ton of secondary market value given their rarity, I'm a huge fan. The multi-layered cards have a very cool 3D effect about them. I know this is an innovation started by Upper Deck and hopefully they'll take it as a compliment that collectors love them and others want to follow suit.
Checklist: 3.0/5.0
It's like 1998 Stadium Club Baseball all over again. For those who aren't familiar with the set, it came out in two series. One was dubbed "The Odds" while the other was "The Evens." From a marketing standpoint, the idea is ingenious. Although two separate releases, collectors are all but forced to go after both just so they can have a continuous set of cards. 2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary has only odd numbers. A second series is in the works, but in the meantime I'm left with binder pages that are only half filled. I like that Rittenhouse is planning so thoroughly in advance but I, personally, hate this concept. I didn't like it in 1998 and I still don't today. The logic for this series is that each of the Bond films will occupy a nine-pocket page after Series 2 comes out. To do this, the only other option would be to split the films in half. But then classic Bond fans may stop after Series 1 or those who prefer the Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig eras may skip the first set. And what would a 50th anniversary set be without all the Bonds?
A big draw for many collectors is the promised three autographs per box. And while many are somewhat rare, they're still somewhat disappointing. At least to this particular collector who likes James Bond but isn't obsessed with it. Looking at the checklist of signers, I recognize very few from anything else outside of their Bond roles. And those I do know just happen to be the extremely rare ones. Adding to this is that most of the signers have appeared in other Bond sets in the past. It may be a different design, but the signature is the same.
That said, I think there's so much content in 2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary that boxes collectors don't need to rely on their autographs. So many of the inserts are fantastic and left me wanting to chase sets -- something normally reserved for films and shows I love rather than those I simply respect.
Value: 4.0/5.0
Monetary wise, unless you get one of the extremely tough autographs like Pierce Brosnan, you're unlikely to recoup all your money. I'm actually disappointed some of the non-autographed inserts aren't going for more. Despite falling 1:4 boxes, singles can be found for less than $15.
That said, boxes are very reasonably priced well under $70. While this is not an "investment" type set, I found a lot of enjoyment working slowly through the packs and organizing them afterward. For me, that's what the hobby is about and the price seems more than fair.
The Fun Factor: 4.5/5.0
As you might have guessed by now, I had a blast with 2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary. While it has a couple of elements that aren't for me, the overall delivery has so much quality, interesting content, focus and collectibility. It made me interested in not only pouring over all of the cards but also going back and rewatching some of the Bond films.
In the five decades since Dr. No hit theaters, there have been so many James Bond trading card sets. At this point, it's tough to produce something that is fun and feels fresh. On those fronts, 2012 Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary exceeded my expectations.

Hi there,
I’m new to card collecting so please forgive my ignorance if I am asking a dumb question.
Why did Rittenhouse make a parallel set? Except for a metallic finish, the parallel set looks identical to the base set. What’s the point of a duplicate set? What am I missing?
Ryan Cracknell
Bruce » Parallel sets are very common now. They’re an added challenge for those who like to build the set. It’s something that keeps some coming back for more than they might otherwise. For those not interested in them, they can make great trade bait.
