Catalogue note
Gold Rainbow e-Pack achievement parallel of card #1, “A Stranger Is Coming,” from Upper Deck's 2025 James Bond: No Time To Die set. The card depicts young Madeleine Swann in the film's opening flashback. Unlike ordinary pack parallels, Gold Rainbow cards are created through Upper Deck e-Pack's combine system, giving this unnumbered card a materially higher acquisition threshold without implying a fixed print run.
Scarcity: The Gold Rainbow parallel is not pack-inserted or serial-numbered. Specialist checklist documentation records a two-stage e-Pack combine path: 10 copies of the same digital base card create one Rainbow parallel, and 10 copies of that same Rainbow create one Gold Rainbow. This establishes a substantially higher acquisition threshold than the ordinary base/Heracles versions, but does not establish a finite surviving-copy count.
Historical context: The card depicts young Madeleine Swann during the opening flashback of No Time To Die, a sequence that establishes the childhood trauma underlying Madeleine's later relationship with Safin and James Bond. BFI credits Coline Defaud as young Madeleine.
Uncertainties: Exact number of Gold Rainbow #1 copies created is not published. The card is unnumbered. No numeric third-party condition grade assigned. Exact sold-market value has not been established.
Why this object matters
The opening Madeleine image and Gold Rainbow combine mechanism provide a strong example of digital-to-physical collecting. The printed #1 identity remains authoritative where manufacturer web metadata differs; no fixed print run is inferred.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.

Preservation rationale
Preserves an e-Pack-derived physical parallel from Upper Deck's first standalone No Time To Die trading-card release and documents the hybrid digital-to-physical collecting model used in contemporary non-sport cards.
Uncertainties
- Exact number of Gold Rainbow #1 copies created is not published. The card is unnumbered. No numeric third-party condition grade assigned. Exact sold-market value has not been established.
