# Pippin, Guard of the Citadel Pippin represents a meaningful moment in Lord of the Rings lore—his service in Gondor—making it appealing to fans of the source material. Collectors value this card for its character representation and artwork rather than competitive demand. The rare rarity keeps it moderately accessible while still feeling special. Most collectors pursue either nonfoil or foil versions based on personal preference, though foil copies command a slight premium due to durability concerns with premium finishes. The card's appeal lies primarily in completing Middle-earth themed collections or sets rather than investment potential, making it a straightforward acquisition for dedicated LOTR fans.
