Realms of the Elf Lords and prior rares and foils.

Howdy, all!

I used to play, but my local game store stopped stocking it after Realms of the Elf Lords, and I gave away most of my collection years ago.  All I held onto were the Rares and Foils!  Most of which are from Realms of the Elf Lords.

The notable cards (based on what I could find by way of pricing online):

1   2R86   Wraith-World   Ringwraith   1.99
1   3R1   Book of Mazarbul   Dwarven   2.99
1   3R21   Long-Knives of Legolas   Elven   6.99
1   3R68   Saruman, Keeper of Isengard   Isengard   12.99
1   3R71   Tower of Orthanc   Isengard   4.99
1   3R71 FOIL   Tower of Orthanc   Isengard   9.99
2   3R81   Gates of the Dead City   Ringwraith   7.99
2   3R104   Tower of Barad-Dur   Sauron   3.99
2   3R113   The Shire Countryside   Shire   6.99

The full list as a Google Spreadsheet (most of the others are foil commons and uncommons, or under $1 rares): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tmPqtouV8AV-JkZ2aCN9S6A0u0YwH89lEmeBS9_us-w/edit?usp=sharing

Incidentally, I hold no expectation of getting the listed price for them, I just went to ccg-singles.com to get an idea of ballpark of what they were worth at one point, and to get an idea of what the chase rares are.

Best of luck with the sale. The reality is, the lot of cards would likely fetch less than $15 USD, even in the most bullish market.

While Saruman, Keeper of Isengard is great in the Fellowship format (X-Listed in other formats) and The Shire Countryside is useful in looping decks, the other cards are not particularly strong, especially for a card game long dead.

If you ask me, I think you should invest another $20 or so and buy a few lots. Introduce some new friends to the game, and enjoy!

Best,

If I had the time, I would.  But with two minions at home, occasionally busting out my old Magic The Gathering decks is about all I can manage!

Honestly, I'd just like to get the LotR cards over to someone else who could make more use of them than I can.  If I cover my postage and handling costs, I'd be happy.

Incidentally, I do also have a set of the three elven rings of power -- Narya, Nenya, Vilya, but I always liked the set, so I'm probably just going to hold onto those.  Maybe frame them sometime as a tribute to my geekery.
