Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E) – Profiles in History auction house has announced Wednesday that “the most comprehensive collection of James Bond movie posters” will go under the hammer on December 15 and 16.

The collection is part of their Hollywood Auction in Los Angeles and includes rare posters and stills from the iconic James Bond movies.

Joe Maddalena, who runs Profiles inHistory, said in a statement, “This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any fan of James Bond to acquire rare Bond movie posters that may never reach the market again.”
