Lot # 2953: 1965 Philadelphia "James Bond" PSA-Graded Complete Set (66)

Presented is a complete 66-card set of 1965 Philadelphia Gum/Glidrose "James Bond" trading cards, entirely graded and encapsulated by PSA. Based on the popular films starring Sean Connery in his role as Secret Agent 007, these black-and-white cards feature still images from three movies: "From Russia with Love," "Goldfinger," and "Dr. No." The reverse of each card features a description of the scene and the specific movie credit. This is an extraordinary set, ultra high quality throughout, and with a simply amazing degree of consistency. A tremendous amount of time and energy has been invested in the assembly of this high-grade set, with a concern for all condition factors, including overall eye appeal. PSA Grading Composite: MINT 9 (23 cards): #3, 4, 10, 12, 13, 15, 21, 22, 25 (OC), 28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 36 (OC), 42, 43, 54, 57, 58, 59, 61, and 66. NM-MT+ 8.5 (1 card): #5.
