Those two LotRs were from the tatty boxed set that sold a week or so back.

Probably because the box ended up having to be trashed.
I actually think the box could probably be stabilised and cleaned up chemically (though the chemicals conservators use are a bit nasty and need a fume cupboard, etc). They probably bought the set for the box, tbh.
I see a lot of LotRs coming up for sale these days that give me the impression the jackets have had some cleaning to remove tanning.

Perhaps they did, items that have been restored are pretty easy to spot. I think we'll know if it comes back around.
