Default My Name is Bond - James Bond

What a line! Sean Connery at his best!

Thought I would show off this pack that was just graded by PSA. I haven't received it yet as it finished the process yesterday. This is the only pack graded by PSA, is an unopened pack from the first James Bond cards ever issued, and is pretty rare.

Made me think, who is your pick for the best James Bond? Mine of course is Sean, but there have been several other pretty good actors.

Yeah, I don't think there's any question it's Connery. Pierce Brosnan probably under-rated as Bond at this point and I'd put him a strong 2nd.

Daniel Craig holds his own as the most serious Bond, while Roger Moore seemed to have a lot of fun as the "campiest" Bond.

Don't really have an opinion of Niven, Lazenby or Dalton.

I'm in total agreement with the exception of Craig, I think he would place second on my list. I believe he is the one that stated "May I have another?" after being hit in the balls!

Default Bond

Gonefishin- cool pack!

Regarding Bond, it's hard to go wrong. I will say that Craig and Dalton
tended to play Bond as Bond was in the Fleming novels.

As for great lines, it's hard to top his answer to Ursula Andress in Dr. No.

Are you looking for shells?
No, just looking.

I started with Pierce Brosnan, and I didn't really dig what everyone was crazy about. I did love the Nintendo 64 Bond video game very much! Get the Big Head characters and then go for the kill shot. Split the TV screen into fourths.

My favorite Bond is Daniel Craig, and his best movie is Skyfall. His lines with Javier Bardem are my favorite. Bardem is talking about using computers to take down this system, organization, etc etc. Gray men are becoming obsolete.
Bond says: Everyone needs a hobby.
Bardem: So what's yours?
Bond: Resurrection.

Thinking about the history of Bond, it's just such a great line.

It was always a generational thing. We all loved Roger Moore, as he WAS Bond to us, but anyone older than my friends and I would deride us with, "There is only one James Bond, and that's Sean Connery!!!!"

I grew up in the Roger Moore era as well and he would have been my answer, UNTIL I saw the old Sean movies later on in life. He is tough to beat as Bond IMO.

I add Connery to the top of the list and Craig in second.

But if you have read the reviews, Lazenby's Bond was given high marks and was closest to the book. If Connery hadn't decided to come back, Lazenby would have been in the next few movies and cemented his place in history.

The game was my favorite. I've never been a gamer. But The big head mode on 007 was the way my friends and I played every time. I sucked of course, not being a gamer. But the game was lots of fun.
