Instead of throwing $$$ at this "e-pack" junk (and it is junk, you can't convince me otherwise)

I just took the $125 on my Paypal account that would have been spent on these ($115 a box, LOL, gtfoh) and purchased Joe Don Baker and Tanya Roberts (R.I.P.) Rittenhouse autos.

Happy as a clam.

Great. I bought a Roger Moore & George Lazenby dual auto the other day in PSA 10.

NOt sure what it has to do with the Die Another Day set though, or ePack.

I wouldn’t say EPack is junk, there’s definitely a market for it.
I collect all kinds of stuff, comics, video games, cards, toys, etc. and appreciate the option to have some items stored elsewhere but still in my ownership. If I want the card(s) I can always ask them to be shipped. I especially appreciate the ability to ship COMC straight to buyer and leave me out of it, or straight to EBay or authentication.

This may not be for everyone but definitely an option for some.

I do not think there are enough hard core people/traders on epack now to be able to obtain alot of those poster achievements.

Only 18 have bee taken off the board and there are a few people trying to get what they can of what is out there.

But to do 100 die cut, 1000 reds, and the 30 Spectre Objectives will take alot of juice.

But those poster auto achievements look really nice.

people demanding autos and patches for handfuls of base and crappy inserts

Yes. Current offer 18 reds for an auto.

That works out to 71 autos to complete the Red which is not happening. I have hit three in about 300 packs.

I think it would have been cooler if they numbered all Black /7 inserts to just 007 on all.

I have 4 reds. Come get them. Def not demanding autos for a 1 per pack card lol. Same user ID on epack. Wishlist is a hot mess, but I'm open most art based marvel sets.

Yeah it makes no sense at all. Not sure if there’s an influx of new collectors for this set, but I’ve never seen it like this before. I offered someone 12 base that were on his wish list, 2 reds and a black and white that was also on his wish list for two ice cut cards I needed that he had multiple of. I don’t mind getting rejected or countered, part and parcel of it all… but he came back and wanted 12 comics I have with a value of around $80 lol

The individuals who I know have completed achievements for the poster auto have like 5-6K of cards in their inventory. I can't reach that. That is 6K for the achievement.

In my mind I can't believe they are requiring 10 physical cards to complete the Reds. 5 would have been more realistic. Keep the digital at 10.

Plus you still have to capture the Ice and SOs at 30 which are not easy to come by

Aye, they really shouldn't be called 'achievements' when they are in reality just rewards for the handful of people that drop a massive amount of money on the product.

It’s an amazing card but not sure I’d pay $2,200 for it. Maybe someone will snag it though.

Me neither! But there’s a few of his autos from various sets on there and they all seem to be around that price. Going rate?!

Damn -- those do look nice. A pair of beautiful "Bond girls" and Bond himself looking dangerous. No Time to Die was a solid finale to the Craig era of Bond -- the villain was pretty weak, though.

Too bad Amazon is going to ruin Bond like they've done with the Lord of the Rings.

12-18 months ago you could pick up Daniel Craig autos for 300-500 bucks. Almost overnight, they shot up. I would never buy one for BIN or asking price.

Took some work, but just redeemed the gold rainbow. The edges look rough unfortunately.

The edges may look rough but the middle of the card sure looks good.

I spent entirely too much on this but eh its only money... Despite the amount I have spent, I'm not bothering to go for any of the achieves, but have been having fun cataloging and trading for stuff I want, although often hard to make a deal with people wanting very specific trades - part of the challenge I guess.

A rip off.

Exactly. I mean for $2,200, you can purchase a Sean Connery cut auto from James Bond Archives Final Edition and probably have a little money left over for a nice steak dinner.

Perspective is a great thing to have.

I suspect the target audience for some of the cards you're calling a rip off are probably people who already have all of the Craig autos you like to rattle off(specifically the Rittenhouse, which are great cards...but some people have all of them already).

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"
