OMG. What an investment that was. Wowzer. How cool to have something like that. I wouldn't sell it either. Maybe one day when you can put it up for auction through Christies Retirement time!

Bummer! I went out to finally get my mail because I wanted to look through the Christie's catalogue with Spectre items. Well, it seems my lack of bids (0) in 2015 - or whenever the last SF items were auctioned, has caused me to be dropped from their 2016 mailing list. No catalogue!! I'm sure they've all been mailed. If they only knew I was a d2d member.....who knows, maybe I'd bid on a paper clip or something

Oh that is a shame! Hope you can still get a copy.
At least for next time (high hopes he will return as Bond again of course) then knowing in advance, or saving up for that paper clip.
I know, bad timing! They obviously don't keep a data base of customers and the types of items they bid on or I should have received this issue. Or maybe they peeked into my bank account .

sf2la - Perhaps they ran out of copies. I wonder if one can pick up a spare copy in person from one of their offices, if they have them?

Good point! Or maybe call and request a catalogue.

Just looking thru some of my Christie's catalogues. I have a Pop Culture issue from 2013 that has a number of Bowie stuff in it. THAT would have been a good investment! I am also just looking at a tux made for Daniel in CR. The write up says the waist band is inscribed DC in an unknown hand. Guide price was £8-12k or $12-18k.
The ugly motorcycle Daniel rides in the beginning scene of SF is in the same issue. It's a Honda. Guide price £15-25k or $23-38k.
Looking at the back inside cover. Christie's catalogues can be ordered. I'll make an effort to stop by their South Kensington office on Monday to buy a catalogue since I've been kicked off their complimentary mailing list .

I suspect stopping by in person would be the best bet to get a copy at this point. Hope you get one and that they keep you on their mailing list. (I live vicariously as I said...)
Gawd, after wrapping up some work for the night, I just reread my above text. What is wrong with me?? I cannot text for the life of me. So many typos. I tried to edit - there are probably still mistakes!
Yeah, it looks like getting a catalogue will be easy. I arrive Sunday, but knowing the UK, the business will likely be closed. There is a Christie's app available for the iPhone, at least. That's free. Everything is also available to see online.
Oh, to have bought Bowie stuff....cool old photos, first concert ticket, etc. like hitting the lottery today. I imagine Jagger is rated the same? If Christie's Pop Culture catalogues are online, they are worth checking out. Fun stuff. Hendrix handwritten lyrics on a piece of paper sung at Woodstock was listed for some obscene price.

Type-o issues, no worries. I am still impressed with your ability to text and make any type-o's legible.
Yes, any of the above items could be sold and one could buy everything in the the Spectre catalogue and still have plenty left to retire straight away.
Now when you get to one of their offices...maybe they will have poster sized sample images of the catalogue's best photos?
Retirement time!
I'm sure they've all been mailed. If they only knew I was a d2d member.....who knows, maybe I'd bid on a paper clip or something
