In times of uncertainty, money seeks shelter where it can continue to grow, or at least hold. Add in a dash of nostalgia or genuine interest, and there’s a high bidder born every day.

Interesting as an art piece at least, right?

Terrible mounting, a crime against framing. Done with a very poor mount cutter or a very poor framer.

Add elessar's little character and this year's LotR deluxe to the main pic to show how nothing matches ?

Haha I know, I was so offended by the cutting of that mount that I couldn't joke

Well, at least the books look good. The slipcase on the other hand...where's the rest of it?

I know the seller (bought from him, and sold to him once or twice), he's not the original owner on that set.

Picked it up for a steal years ago without the slipcase, inquired after the fact if the seller had it and that's what they sent him after the fact. Apparently the original owner didn't like the height difference caused by the slipcase so they cut the top/bottom off. No clue why they didn't just put the slipcase away, or toss it entirely.
