Is it a serial numbered card? If not, that likely won't be the exact card you get, just a stock image photo. If it is serial numbered, yup, that's your card! I don't think the edges look as bad as you're assuming they are. I think you're looking at the top edge and saying it looks rough? Correct? If so, they might actually be fine...I don't see any white and they might just be carrying light slightly different than the other edges. The only way to know is to take if off ePack and Elite scan on COMC.

Cool card though, looks great

I'm not saying the Craig is or isn't worth $2,200, but if someone is a completist and doesn't do ePack...they just might snag it.

Some people have more money than sense and $2,200 is like spending $20 for the "regular folk"

100% correct. Perspective is allowed when I see a $2,200 card, well, I am mostly referring to non-set builders, just regular folk who maybe after seeing Knives Out, or Casino Royale would like a Daniel Craig autograph in their collection.

Impossible, at these prices. The people you are referring to, who want multiple Daniel Craig autographs from every set, aren't the normal collectors imho. I mean, they're collectors, but I can't relate to them.

I collect James Bond autographs, (I have over 100+ from different actors, different Rittenhouse sets), and I'm just a normie in the grand scheme.

There are plenty of options in the $400~ range, according to eBay ended items, just over the last month. Certified UD & Rittenhouse autographs. The prices on COMC are mostly ridiculous. I'm not seeing much evidence from the really quick search I did that Craig autos have "gone way up recently". With that said, I'd guess there will still be interest in those high-priced cards that are basically impossible to find(achievements etc.).

I'm with you though, I wouldn't spend $2,200 on a Craig auto when I could grab a nice one for $400-$500 from another set or subset. I did grab one not that long ago that was roughly in that range, slightly more. But I don't really care about it being serial numbered or inscribed. I just wanted one from Black Diamond to go with a few other non-Craig Black Diamond cards I had picked up.

$2200(on sale 2100) may seem crazy but I don't think the listing is bad. Actually, I wouldn't have been shocked if it was listed higher. Its first copy on sale. Its a huge UD achievement card.

There are some collectors don't care what price of card is. They just buy whatever is listed first. I see it all time in Nonsports and a lot of time first copy sells most.

I understand comparison to Rittenhouse. I can point to "2020 Upper Deck James Bond Villains & Henchmen - Star Signings #SS-DC2 - Casino Royale - Daniel Craig as James Bond" which has two high sales one in 2022 and another 2024 for $3660 and $3600 on COMC. I can point you to UD Daniel Craig COMC sales $500 too. Its Nonsports... prices are all over.

There are plenty of Craig as Bond autograph cards currently listed on eBay for a much lower price. So, if you're just wanting one, you wouldn't buy the $2.2k one. The only reason you would is because you NEED this one for some reason.

Although that achievement auto currently has more pulled than any of the other of his autos in the set. I wonder how many he did on the normal autos? Quite amusing though how different his autos are on each card

Unfortunately it isn’t serial numbered, but I did just send it to COMC and getting the elite scan. I’ll post here when it’s returned to my account. Fingers crossed! Thank you!

Ya I wasn't planning to do any of this on Epack but went the other way and did the achievement - got the Craig. Also pulled a Ana auto with the hundreds of packs

How many cases did you have to open to do all that?

Jesus. I cannot even begin to fathom how much $$$$$$ that ended up costing

Y'all got them deep, deep, deep pockets

I opened alot but always 3 packs at a time, not boxes or cases. Also traded hits like relics & autos for achievement items I needed. So alot of opening + alot of trading.

[jasonplo]

The auto achievements are nice but the Objective Gold "achievements" tied to them are not so much. They look exactly like the regular Spectre Objective Gold ones except the number on the back. For example, you cant even tell this Ebay listing is an achievement unless you read into the body. They couldn't come up with different photos or a background?

It is number SOGA 8. The regular gold that looks like it is SOG 28.

Yeah, they effed up the Spectre Objective set with these

SOS-2 SOS-5

No. I said, "Use one of these!"

[Xazark]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but wtf are they doing with the Just a Number puzzle cards. First off its a 12 card set... like why wouldnt you make it 9 cards like any normal puzzle. Then to top it off, the cards aren't even orientated the same way, like you have to turn some of them upside down and even then you still need to offset them, so even if you did have a 12 card page it still wouldn't work... what a shemozzle.

I clipped the cards cuz I was considering grabbing a full set instead of just the characters I like (as I am doing with the other cards) but this stupid setup just sealed the fact I'll stick to my favs... The first image is the cards cropped out to show the "puzzle" better (ignore the odd arm or whatever I didn't crop out properly) and the second shows how you need to align / rotate them to make it line up

[YayNJ]

Anyone currently getting an error when trying to buy packs?

Keep getting the same error and a “try again later” message.

[jubei777]

Yup also had errors on buying. Must be epack saying to slow it down.

[Dredd84]

For anyone interested, here’s the gold rainbow with COMC elite scan.

Haha that thought did also cross my mind..

[Chrominator]

Just pulled a dupe #/77



If anyone is interested in trading for it, lmk or shoot me an offer (blanks okay as long as you're holding some goodies).

[TimBuckTwo]

Out of curiosity and maybe for the big dogs here, is the Top Achievement autos truly a random pull or is there a sequencing to it?

To make it even worse the second '0' needs to be flipped upside-down.

Good catch. Looking at mine they are oriented the same way

[Chrominator]

Yeah, I hope someone gets fired for all of this baloney.

But they won't. And it'll continue...
