Card Identification Forum

Unless I'm missing it, we are missing a checklist for this subset of promo cards from the lord of the rings card game.  There are 3 different sets that came out in 2002 (and the original set in 2001) but I don't see these promo cards listed under any of them.  They are listed as having come out in the spring of 2002, would they be their own set?  I think they need a checklist created, just not sure where it would belong.

Subset? Which set are they are a part of?

vrooomed, that's my question.  I don't know if they are a set of their own or a subset of an existing set.  I can't find any mention on this site of them.

A subset means they are a part of another set - within the set.

I think you mean an "insert" or "related" set. 

The page you linked seems to list all known promo cards for the game and not just for one set they cover a span of several years. I found this Site which I think your link took their list from as the site I linked says some of those cards were digital only, and so have no physical copy for them to sell. 

It seems most promos across sets carried a continuous numbering system all starting with a 0 to denote promo series and for the first 129 had a P followed by their number so the first four were 1-4 (ie 0P1) for the first set then the next sets promos went 5-9, and so on until the later sets changed their letter to a D and restarted from 1.

I have the one labeled oP14 Aragorn so at least that one was made into an actual card.

It appears that the promo cards for the LoTR CCG series were issued in "blocks" over a several year period to promote certain events. They were distributed at local game stores, conventions, tournaments, and as magazine inserts.

Based on the fact that these weren't released in booster packs and that they are not associated with a particular expansion set, I suggest a single, multi-year set with one checklist. Similar to how Pokemon "Black Star Promos" are listed.

This isn't a complete list, but here's the "blocks" that I have been able to find and when they were released.
