Gandalf, Friend of the Shire Price

Updated 2026-08-25

Gandalf, Friend of the Shire is a legendary white and blue creature from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth available in the Play Promos series as a limited-distribution alternate-art printing. The card draws from Tolkien source material, depicting the iconic wizard in a form oriented toward the early chapters of the story. Play Promos copies were distributed through organized play events during the corresponding set release cycle, creating a supply ceiling tied to sanctioned participation numbers rather than open market demand. Near-mint copies have declined roughly 0.4 percent over the past week and approximately 0.4 percent over the trailing month, with the 90-day figure showing a more substantial 2.5 percent loss. The shallow short-term decline against a steeper longer-term drop suggests the rate of selling has moderated from earlier levels, though the directional trend remains negative for this promo printing.
