Contrary to what happens with the books, not everything that is inspired by Lord of the Rings is written under this theme name with the trading cards. What can now be found / placed with the cards under lotr is the product of a single issuer. Other lotr series from other publishers are therefore much more difficult to find with the risk of double entries. Moreover, it does not seem very convenient to me to use two different systems within Catawiki. If you now search for books on lotr, you will get (almost) everything related to it, regardless of the publisher. The same search for the cards only yields the product of 1 publisher. LOTR has thus become a product name and is not a theme as you would expect.

Hi Jan,

I changed your series name last week because it is a different game.
It doesn't seem to me that Middle Earth will be searched for CCG under Lord of the Rings, TCG .
In addition, Middle Earth CCG has its own sets.
If you use the set field to state that it is Middle Earth CCG (or Lord of the Rings, TCG), you won't be able to put the set info anywhere.
This is not an issue with collection cards, so I do collect them there as much as possible under one denominator.
In the future the ccg / tcg cards will be separated from the collector cards.
That will increase findability.

In the future we will also be working with card codes to be able to view different versions (language / reprints) of a card together.
When these series are together, it will not work properly.

They will certainly have the same theme name in the future, but I will wait a while until the theme sections take more shape.
It's on my to-do list.
Giving a theme name to series can be done very easily by means of an Excel file.
The same goes for more series, such as the Star Wars collector cards, Star Wars CCG and Young Jedi CCG .

It is a simple adjustment in itself, but I will deliberately wait a while.
