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

[robomole]

The metal array Ana de Armas auto might have the worst picture choice I've ever seen. Yet it's bid up to $1,200 and climbing. Unbelievable.

[The Accountant]

Looks like a cool product. Grabbed a case to see if I can hit something nice.

Completely believable. You do realize how popular she is with the boys, right?

If that was the only design, sure. But when her auto had multiple different versions within the same set, why dump money in the ugliest one?

UD: "We know the boys will want her auto, let's waste one of the crappy pics on the metal auto card. It'll sell anyway."

thirsty dweebs

same reason psylocke cards for example sell much higher than they should, or GOT minor characters that got their berries out

[newhobbygeek]

These auctions and BIN are believable and expected. First time signers for the license property, premium/expensive/high-end set, low numbered cards, and sales are during release week. See same thing in other premium nonsports releases over past several years. Nothing shocking here. Situation normal.

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?

Well said.

[gorillaz]

I ended up opening a few more today, can’t help myself.

Too many dang diamond relics

But did hit the Sean Connery multi-diamond relic /007

Outside of the thirsty dweebs lusting after a bit of de Armas, auction sales for this have actually been pretty low, I thought?

Wow, I suppose that card is going in 'the jar'...

[majestik101]

Has there been a "High-End" non-sport release with such a precipitous freefall as this one? For the life of me, I honestly can't recall.

Sink or swim doesn't even describe it. The prices on the secondary market are uninspiring. Nobody is really buying the manufactured gem cards. The parallels are blech. The other signers are going for much less than they should be. Walken's autographs look horrible. Other cards bizarrely look like cut autographs. The "posters" are awful. Odd design choices, all around.

In short, you either hit De Armas or you're up the creek without a paddle.

And I'm not counting the Redemption Cards which are just basically glorified I.O.U.'s, which if we learned anything from Dumb and Dumber are just worthless scraps of paper. Maybe they'll be made.... Or... maybe 5 years from now, they'll say sorry kiddo, here's a sealed hobby box of 2024 Upper Deck Skybox Marvel for your troubles.

Walken is 81 be happy he signed at all.

They are still pumping out sealed at prices like its 2021....None of it is worth it, maybe like 1 in 30 products.
Also the guy from China need to stop running his auctions....hes getting absolutely SLAMMED on his stuff his auction literally sell for 20% of BINs for similar cards

Very true. It's crazy to think these stars we take for granted are getting up in years.

I do think U.D. missed the boat by not having a dual auto of Walken and Grace Jones, who relatively speaking, is 'only' 76 years old, and is still actively performing.

Now that would have been a great chase card to include in this product, especially at the price point!

[YayNJ]

Could someone be so kind to tell me what size one touches I'm going to need for these please?

I'm guessing 75pt /130pt?
