These Somportex cards were released in 1965 by the English company Somportex from London. There are 72 black and white cards from the James Bond film Thunderball starring Sean Connery, licensed by EON Productions and United Artists.

Confusingly, some cards were issued with the same number, but a completely different photo and title. Several issues were therefore reprinted in different numbers. These are cards numbered 1, 3, 5, 15, 19, 24, 51, and 71. These reprints are a bit harder to find.

Number 24, "That's No Lady," was even banned altogether. It depicts James Bond punching an opponent dressed as a woman. This scene was considered too violent.

These cards were incredibly popular and sold in large numbers in the 1960s. Somportex also released other James Bond cards in the 1960s, and the company is also known for television series such as Danger Man, The Saint, and Thunderbirds.
