Title: Need help figuring out exactly what I have
Post by: ELD on April 09, 2012, 12:31:55 PM

Hi all!  I have a 5,000+ card collection of the Middle Earth Collectible Card Game that I picked up as part of a very very large Magic: The Gathering Collection.  I have some boosters, but mostly individual cards.  This was a serious collector, who really took pride in his hobby. 

It deserves to end up with a collector, since it's all be meticulously taken care of.  I guess E-bay is the best way to make this happen, but I want to make sure I list it correctly.  I spent the morning reviewing one box, which I believe is a complete limited set of "The Wizards."  I found online mention of blue bordered unlimited versions.  Mine appear to all be black bordered.  How different does the blue border look?  Is there anyplace I could get scans? 

I also have a few thousand of the Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game as well.

Alrighty, I found Blue Bordered cards on E-bay.  They're clearly blue, so everything I have is from the Limited Set.  I'll still take any advice on how to move the cards, since I have a pile of extra singles, beyond the complete set.  Thanks!

The Middle Earth CCG is separate from Decipher's TCG, so unless someone else here has experience with it I dunno if you'll get an answer on that. 

As far as how to sell them, I would try to get them separated as well as possible into isolated sets...it seems that selling them all together doesn't work as well as piecemeal.  If you have any left over you could just throw them in with completed sets or perhaps put them in as a "lot" by themselves.

Thanks!  I am working on making a second complete set.  I haven't started on the LotR cards yet.  Do any players on here trade Magic cards for LotR cards?
