p. 1150: Index entry for ‘Desolation of the Morannon’: Missing citations for pp. 619, 631, 648, 887.

Emended large-scale map of Rohan, Gondor, and Mordor, 2004, corrects original 1955 spellings of three names ( Kiril→ Ciril, Kelos→ Celos, and Kirith Ungol→ Cirith Ungol) to match text.Players also have a chance to find surge foil versions of the Realms and Relics Box Toppers from the original Tales of Middle-earth set. There are also 100 serialized versions of each Realms and Relics card in a double rainbow foil treatment. These are the rarest cards in these boosters and will likely be pretty valuable, especially for cards like Ancient Tomb.

Hardcover (229 mm × 154 mm); single volume with slipcase, 1184 pp. (i–xxvi prefatory; 1–1157 text; 1 p. addendum). p. 1157: Index entry for ‘Gardner, Holfast’: Should be cross-reference: ‘ see Gamgee, Holfast (Holfast Gardner)’. Additionally, the types of serialized cards differ from each booster type. You can only find the serialized Sol Rings in the original Tales of Middle-earth Collector Boosters; they aren’t in the Special Edition. Likewise, the serialized poster cards and Realms and Relics cards can only be found in the Special Edition.There are also some surge foil versions of specific extended-art cards from the original set that can only be found in the Special Edition. Finally, the Special Edition contains the 29 new-to-Magic cards from the Scene Boxes and Tales of Middle-earth Jumpstart Volume 2. Are LotR Special Edition Collector Boosters Worth Buying? Translucent plastic slipcase with white text on front cover (author, title, illustrator credit) and rear cover (advertising copy), blue text and images on spine (JRRT monogram, author, title, Ring with inscription, volume titles, publisher logo). Oversized colour plate tipped in between pp. 320‒21: ‘Leaves from the Book of Mazarbul’ (three 1947 illustrations, full colour). p. 98: The third, fourth, and fifth lines in the second paragraph are incorrectly justified, with significant white space added at the right margin, and an erroneous reversed comma appears after ‘broad’ in the third line. Probably even more than normal Collector Boosters, this release does seem like one that’s mostly just for collectors of Magic. There are only a handful of new cards here, so the main appeal is just the new treatments of these cards. From Wizards’ perspective, the purpose is likely to release a product tied to a popular IP that comes out around the holidays.
