The Two Towers is the on-record Lord of the Rings sequel. However, 2002 Topps Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Update is a second part when it comes to trading cards.
The simple set accomplishes two things. The biggest is in its name. It updates the initial release that came out just as the blockbuster was arriving in theatres. FOTR Update also introduces the concept of memorabilia cards to Middle Earth.
2002 Topps Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Update Checklist Details
The base set has 72 cards. Although down from the initial set’s 90 cards, the set plays a specific role. It completes the story, holding nothing back in the process. Whether that’s big-time spoilers or fancy special effects, it’s the trading card equivalent of Peter Jackson going back and adding for the trilogy’s extended editions.
The checklist picks up from where the first Fellowship of the Ring base set leaves off, running from #91 through to #162. The layout and design is consistent as well.
2002 Topps Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Update has just one insert set. Memorabilia cards, which are one per box, include material that was used to help make a variety of costumes from the film. They’re not necessarily screen-worn, though. Eight different cards from seven characters make the cut.
