Supposedly a limited edition, as noted on advertising slip, but still on sale in 2014, 10 years after initial release.

The Return of the King: 452 pp. (i–xvi prefatory; 743–1178 text, see Errata, below) plus 15 colour plates (see Maps & Illustrations, below). The answer is yes, Tales of Middle-earth Special Edition Collector Boosters have a mixture of new cards and reprints. That said, reprints make up a much larger proportion of the cards found here than new ones. There’s only one slot in each of these boosters for one of the new cards, and there are only 29 new cards that can be found in this set. The rest are reprints. Hardcover (228 mm × 149 mm); single volume with slipcase, 1200 pp. (i–xx prefatory; 1–1178 text; 2 p. addenda) plus inserts and plates (see Maps, Illustrations, & Facsimiles below). The showcase Scrolls of Middle-earth cards make up the bulk of each Special Edition Collector Booster. These are simply reskinned cards from Tales of Middle-earth made to look like they’re printed on an aging scroll of paper. The artwork on the cards themselves are the same from the original set, with the new showcase treatment seemingly being a type of filter applied over each card. For the most part, this is what you’ll be getting from these boosters, so if you find this style, I don’t know, ugly and lazy, then you may want to consider just buying singles of the new cards available like the Brothers Hildebrandt cards or other new treatments. What Are the Poster Cards? Hardcover (252 mm × 171 mm); single volume with slipcase, 1246 pp. (i–xxviii prefatory; 1–1217 text; 1 pp. addendum) plus 50 colour plates (see Maps & Illustrations, below).This single disc does not contain the contents found in the 12 discs of amazing extras—two per movie—found in the original Extended Edition Blu-ray releases. Dubbed the ‘Appendices’, these contained hours and hours of behind-the-scenes footage, documentaries, interviews, art, and more, and are some of the greatest special features ever made. Even The Hobbit got the same treatment, giving frank and clear insight into how the production of that trilogy went. Instead, here are all the extras included in the Middle-Earth Ultimate Collector’s Edition: p. 1157: Index entry for ‘Gardner, Holfast’: Should be cross-reference: ‘ see Gamgee, Holfast (Holfast Gardner)’. We could all use a trip to the Shire right about now. Those rolling green hills with blooming flowers and pastoral farms would be a welcome respite. While going to Middle-earth may not be possible, you can now put yourself into the world of The Lord of the Rings like never before. That’s because, last year, Warner Bros. released the beloved trilogy on 4K UHD Blu-ray.

p. 1157: Index entry for ‘Gardner, Frodo’: Should be cross-reference: ‘ see Gamgee, Frodo (Frodo Gardner)’. The Lord of the Rings (‘60th Anniversary Edition’ slipcased set including all three volumes plus 2014 second revised edition of Hammond and Scull’s The Lord of the Rings: A Reader’s Companion): Addenda (2 pp.): Rohan, Gondor, and Mordor (large-scale map redrawn by Stephen Raw, 1994, emended 2004).
