Collector booster boxes and pack prices for The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth<\/em> began to drop slightly after The One Ring serialized one-of-one Magic: The Gathering<\/em> card was confirmed to be found on June 30. <\/p>
The frantic hunt for The One Ring, a one-of-one serialized MTG<\/em> card within The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth<\/em> (LTR<\/em>) set, ended today<\/a>. Despite confirmation from WotC that The One Ring had been pulled, prices of collector booster boxes and packs have only dropped between six and 10 percent at time of writing. <\/p>
Many in the MTG<\/em> community are hoping collector booster box\/packs Gift bundle prices will drop quickly now that The One Ring one-of-one has been discovered. But serialized Sol Ring pulls and Surge foil Box Topper cards<\/a> within collector booster packs may keep prices from dropping fast. <\/p>

Several hours after it was confirmed that The One Ring had been found, Amazon discounted collector booster boxes by seven percent<\/a>, to around $393. The price should sound familiar, as it was the average price of LTR<\/em> collector booster boxes at the start of prerelease events. Prior to The One Ring’s confirmation, prices had reached as high as $550. <\/p>
Preorder prices for the Gift Bundle, scheduled to release on July 7, have not dropped at all at time of writing. The LTR<\/em> Gift Bundle price rose due to having one collector booster pack contained within and is still priced at around $200. Prices on TCGPlayer<\/a> were better than Amazon, with collector booster boxes selling for as low as $355. <\/p>
