These 18 cards, hand-lettered by noted New Zealand artist Daniel Reeve, are sure to be a collector's delight.

These 18 cards from the Fellowship block were reprinted for the anthology in the Elvish Tengwar alphabet:
With this Anthology, [[Decipher]] began a pattern that would be followed for each subsequent block, with the release of [[The Two Towers Anthology]], [[The Return of the King Anthology]], and [[The War of the Ring Anthology]] in sequence.  [[Hunters Block]] was the only block to not receive the same treatment.
