Council of Elrond

Hi all. I just got my family into the game and I have an extra sealed Balrog complete set that I would like to sell or trade so that I can acquire Lidless Eye and Against the Shadows cards I never got. I would love to make something happen here. I am not real sure on the value either so I would appreciate any feedback.

Hi Tholland! Welcome back.

I'm sure you know they are at least worth $18.95

But there has been recent discussion on these sets with people valuing them at $300 each sealed (maybe more?). Whereas a few sets on ebay that are opened have not been bought when listed at $300 each. And some sets with play/wear, and potentially missing card, are going for $120-180 depending on the issues. See https://councilofelrond.org/forum/viewt ... 124&t=3892 (against the shadow) and especially https://councilofelrond.org/forum/viewt ... 124&t=3825 (Balrog). Also, see Wim's shop over at https://www.gwaihir.net/ for Lidless Eye and various singles.

Good luck with the sales!

By the way, if you are wanting to play online, there is a website hosted by one of the Council at http://cardnum.net/. It has a listing of cards (including dream cards) and a deck builder. You can save games in progress and pick them up later.

Thanks! Yes I plan on checking out cardnum for sure. Been messing around with this to find value and try to sell so I can get the LE and AS cards I am missing for home play with friends and family. So glad to have someone to play with again and be back at it. Played an Arda at Gencon 2 years ago and that was sooooo cool!

Full sealed set (both boxes together) have been going for 550-750$ recently what I have seen. So I would expect at least 600-650$ together for them. I personally would not sell them separately.

Hi Tholland,

Awesome to hear your family is getting into the game!

I sent you a PM. I'm interested in a trade for the cards you need, and I'm happy to offer you the $18.95 list price per box!

Are you trading $37.90 in 1998 AAPL stock for his $18.95 Balrog Sets?
