2022 Cryptozoic CZX Middle-Earth Checklist, Details
2022 Cryptozoic CZX Middle-Earth aims to highlight more Hobbit preciousness, combining both of Peter Jackson’s trilogies into one high-end release.
Beginning with 2001’s The Fellowship of the Ring and going through to 2014’s The Battle of the Five Armies, six (very long) films are represented on the checklist. Like other sets under the CZX banner, it’s premium content throughout with hobby boxes promising both an autograph and a sketch card.
2022 Cryptozoic CZX Middle-Earth Checklist Overview
With just 50 cards, the base set isn’t a big one, especially when you consider that there’s over 18 hours worth of film to draw from. But all six films have been covered already so it’s not like it’s a new license to the hobby. Topps had an extensive run with the original Lord of the Rings trilogy and Cryptozoic carried on with the three Hobbit films.
The big difference here is quality. Cards have a premium build including gold foil highlights. The condensed size also means only key moments and turning points.
Base cards have additional foil parallels and Printing Plates. These combine to land one per box.
Autographs combine to land 1:6 packs. Besides standard single-signature cards, Dual Autographs and Autograph Sketch Cards are also on the checklist.
Sketch Cards (1:6 packs) all have original art done directly on the card.
Hobbits and elves make their STR PWR debut (1:6 packs). Cryptozoic continues to expand these inserts across their trading card licenses.
Rounding out the checklist are Film Cel cards (1:6). It’s not yet known if these are actual cels from theatrical prints or if they’re recreations.
Available separately, a binder comes with an exclusive Film Cel card not available in packs.
