Upper Deck James Bond: Black Diamond release coming later this year

[kingofsnake]

Just saw this Ralph Fiennes on card auto pulled:

Break

Darn it - looks like need to buy this stuff.

[PrinceVegeta]

Sets looks great from the singles I am seeing. Shame that a few top names are redemptions even after a 2 year delay

[CardCollector19]

Bummer a lot of the images are exactly the same as previous UD sets.

Otherwise yeah, the set looks great

Will be buying up a lot of singles for sure

[IndySportsCards]

My buddy just pulled the Christopher Walker Metal #1/1, he said he'll pop it up on Ebay later tonight

[gorillaz]

Tried 2. Product is pretty rough overall but did hit a christopher walken on card auto

Nice hit!

I think the cards look awesome, but at the box price and a 50/50 chance at an auto with some real stinkers on it, I’ll leave it to the gamblers.

[YayNJ]

Some of the prices on eBay for singles are absolutely ludicrous haha

[Sickleclaw]

These singles prices will go down for sure.

Looking for Ana De Armas

I was, too, until I saw the images. For the Gemography pic, it looks like someone standing to her left surprised her; the Metal Array pic looks odd, too.

I opened 3 and didn't hit too much to talk about - a couple autos (Cleese & D. Richards), a Cool Diamond Gallery Insert of Connery and a Purple Diamond /5 of a character I didn't recognize (Frederick Gray).

[YayNJ]

Richards, Cleese autos and a decent Connery is a good return from three boxes, dude. FYI Gray (Geoffrey Keen) was in six bond films

I wouldn't hold my breath on some of them going down very much, at least on the people who haven't signed in quite some time or really ever. Anyone who's been in a Bond set before, yup, they'll go down. The rest...some big names that have either never signed or barely sign.


Have a horror story from a break I was in last night and then not in...

Joined a 10-box break and picked up Connery, Fiennes & E/F(for Eva Green stuff). They were breaking other stuff, and it was taking a while...so I went back on the site, and they had listed another 10-box break. I scooped up E/F again for Green and this time K/L was there, which had Seydoux in it plus several others... About another hour goes by, they're still breaking other stuff and I go back in to see what's left. Scroll down & notice my K/L spot in the 2nd break has changed... Seydoux no longer in there. I had taken a screenshot of it because I couldn't remember all the names(there were like 9). Emailed CS right away. Get a reply that they had decided Seydoux was big enough to merit her own spot. Hrm. No email, no notice. I get "pissy" and email back and tell them I'd like them to add her back, since she was in there when I bought it. Nope. I get mad, tell them to cancel ALL of my spots in both breaks. Ok. Refunded. About an hour later the 1st break happens...Fiennes Auto /15. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper.

That was enough for me to just call it on this one. I'll pick up singles once it hits ePack/COMC.

Out the breaker, that is some bush-league stuff right there and should get them blasted.

That is some BS right there. I would feel completely ripped off. Such a scummy move on the breaker. I see there's more breaks on dave and adams, but also I debate whether i'd be better off spending the money on the dc annual breaks to supplement the box I have coming.

Hideous, I probably would of kept the spots but obviously never broke with them again.

Please for the sake of the community name and shame the breaker.

[hannahs1]

Will keep happening unless you name the crap breaker

[majestik101]

My God this stuff is trash. My condolences to anyone who got suckered by this product. Holy moly.

Just saw a Christopher Walken auto up for $5,000 BIN

ok, glws. smh

[majestik101]

And sidenote, what genius at Upper Deck thought the best move for most of the signers was for them to use the thickest silver pen for the autographs on a black background? So unnecessarily gaudy and unsightly. It's like they were signed in magic marker or crayon.

I am so turned off by this product the more I see it, and that's not to mention the scuffing and surface scratches on the metal cards and cheap looking lab created "manufactured" gemstones used which add little to no value. It's such a cheap gimmick, a step up from 2024 Decision Political Gems.

Anyways I'm sure there are those who bought into this stuff who will blast me, but that's my .02

After such a long-protracted delay, James Bond deserved better.

At $300 a box, I'm with you. Should have been one auto a box, get rid of the manufactured gems and gold pieces as "hits". I'll just buy up some singles, especially of my man Timothy Dalton.

Yea, Roger Moore Bond tho (was obsessed with Bond as a kid minus Moore and Dalton)

[YayNJ]

Obsessed with Bond, minus half of it.

Riight gotcha.

[DynaEtch]

Not really digging some of the designs like the autos.

The gemstones thing going back to Marvel always get a lot of backlash, but I look at it this way: people ask what’s the value of a lab created fake gemstone….well whats the value of a red prismatic foil or gold refractor? Also nothing. It's just a numbered /X insert, with a gimmicked theme. Im not that against them, although in marvel it was a little cooler with the infinity stones.

Part of me wants a Ralph Fiennes auto to do a custom Voldemort auto though. This is the only trading card auto he’s had..I think?
