i just got done with my second set of lord of the rings cards. i ended up doing a whole stack of these gandalfs.

i consider it a necessary evil. but i'm just glad i'm finally done with this set. the threat of it was looming large over the holiday season, and i was afraid i wasn't going to finish like my marvel set. but i hunkered down, and busted them out, and now i can breathe easy. now i just have a couple commission heroes cards to do, and then the second marvel run starting late january. HOORAY!
