Hello fellow Bond fans,
I have been collecting Bond since I was around age 18 and am now at 58. So over 40 years of collecting a subject I enjoyed very much. I have decided to sell my collection but am not sure how to proceed. I have a few 1st edition Flemings and all the following authors in addition many other related books. There are full runs of BONDAGE and 007 magazines and many other titles.
The biggest and most unusual part of my collection is the magazine and newspaper archive. This massive collection has over 120 each 3" three ring binders, filled with newspaper and magazine clippings from all over the world, which I have carefully clipped, backed with heavy white paper and sleeved in plastic covers with two pages per cover. I have worked to organize them by film title and enter in order of their publish date. The collection includes 8 x 10 stills, original letters from EON employees, and recently many hours have been spent in the VARIETY trade newspaper archives searching for articles with dates back to the early sixties.
If I were to net $100 per binder, you can see we are talking over $12,000.00. It is not really something one can sell over ebay. So, I would appreciate some suggestions on how I can do this the best way.
I still love the Bond films but I feel the time is right to downsize.
Thanks very much.
