Auctioneer Profiles in History said the Bond poster collection is expected to take in well over US$200,000 (S$244,000), led by a rare From Russia With Love special advance Leicester Square world-premiere poster from 1963.
It is one of a handful believed still in existence and is expected to fetch US$10,000 to US$15,000, the auction house said.
"It's such a rare thing when you get every title like this," said Joe Maddalena, the auction house's president, referring to the comprehensive offerings.
