Thanks. Not sure if it's O.

I saw it on this page:

Those are from the Masterwork series it seems. I never quite understood it too, since they are also called RG and the Countdown Collection has the same templates. Weird.

I think that the "O" is supposed to be a symbol for the One Ring, thereby labelling the card a "Ring-foil" which is a masterworks of legendary proportions, hence "Legends Masterworks".

And 9 Masterworks were issued per set in allusion to the 9 rings of power given to men, meaning that we  - as the Kings in the books eventually succumbed to the rings - would eventually succumb to the influence of the cards by spending way too much money on the TCG and becoming "card wraiths" ourselves :)
