Title: What in your opinion is the best place to buy LOTR TCG cards today?
Post by: HAL_9OOO on April 27, 2010, 04:04:17 PM
Hi again guys,

As you can tell from my other posts I unlike most of you probably am pretty new to this game. Other than playing it during the two towers very briefly since I couldn't afford more than a starter deck my friends and I are getting back into it. I notice most people here seem to be focusing on collecting and getting the cards from the newer more expensive sets but I am looking for cards that give the best playability.

Which leads me to the question on where you guys think is the best place to buy the older cards for the cheapest? All I know about is ebay and I just search for "LOTR TCG" and I have bought a couple of lots that people have been selling but there is a really strong bias towards fellowship cards and still don't really have many rares. It doesn't help that I can't find a single store here that sells the cards in laurel, MD either. Our only "hobby" store doesn't stock them. Maybe people here that have gone pure collector and are selling their duplicate cards/rares? Do many of them pop up? Again I am not looking for the newest and greatest but just 1-9/10 ish.

Do any of you guys do ebay auctions? Where I have been getting the majority of my cards since im mostly buying in bulk now and not going after single rares and such yet. Could try to support people on this forum =p.

Hmmm? Whats your ebay store? I might be interested in buying rares (foil or not) from sets up to black rider. Really just trying to get some in bulk for casual play.

I have had great success with category1games.com when purchasing for another card game. Great service and quick shipping.

Thanks for the plug.


I have just updated all my LOTR cards at www.Category1Games.com so go check them out.  I've only got sets 1-10 listed right now but I've got a bit of everything else. 

I'll be listing Com/Uncom and Foils for all those sets and the rest of the sets soon.

I've got a little more info to add to the cards and my buy list will be up soon for the cards too so I'll be buying singles too.


Come check us out.
