Where it came from
The Ragged Short Spear, numbered 108 in The Hobbit expansion, was released as part of the Middle-earth Collectible Card Game (MECCG) produced by Iron Crown Enterprises. Debuting in the mid-1990s, the set drew directly from J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel. The item was designed to function within the game’s mechanics as a low-tier weapon card, reflecting the humble, often improvised armaments described in the source material during the company's journey through the wilderness.
The artwork for these cards was commissioned from various fantasy illustrators who aimed to capture the gritty, utilitarian aesthetic of Middle-earth’s nomadic or wilderness-dwelling populations. The Ragged Short Spear specifically was intended to convey the desperate nature of survival in the wild, favoring a worn, practical appearance over heroic finery. While the game itself gained a dedicated cult following for its deep thematic immersion, the common cards like this one were produced in high volume to provide essential utility for deck building.
