Hi guys, found this at http://cgi.ebay.com....item=1447405205

Thought you'd like it.

Very strange and very rare:

Notice anything strange??

Well it's says Moonraker but the picture is from TMWTGG!!! :)

Anyway it's not an original lobby card. It's for the 1984 re-release but it's still authentic should be worth some.

I just thought it was worth a good laugh :)

That is completely bizarre blue eyes.

The mismatch in the YOLT booklet also really annoys me. Theres also a spelling mistake on it too, inside they've spelt 'Little Nellie' correctly but on the chapter listing they've spelt it 'Little Nelly'.

One of the MGM vhs's for GOLDFINGER had a pic of THUNDERBALL on the back. They corrected it (which surprised me, as these things usually go uncorrected), so now it's kind of neat to have both versions.

The AVTAK DVD is the one that gets me. The pictures of Roger on the cover AND on the inside booklet are from OCTOPUSSY (Roger had no mole in AVTAK).

Wow I knew none of those errors :)

Who the hell get's paid to proof these things? We could do such a better job hands down!

Ah well. This of course would make this lobby card all the more rare? Anyone going to bid on it? Or if you're not, how much do you think it would be worth?

Heres some more MGM mistakes.

The picture of Dalton on the inside back cover of TLD (DVD) is a shot from LTK.

I can't believe all these mistakes happen. Surely there must be a better way to catalogue and inventory everything, especially images!

Hey, that's pretty nifty!

I'm always amazed when this sort of mistake happenes, and it happens all the time. Even the current DVDs have some mismatched pictures. An NSNA pic in the booklet for YOLT?

You know, I live 10 minutes from MGM, I wish they'd just give me a call when they have their proofs and I could run over and ID any mismatch in a second. Oh well.
