Lookalikes & traps
Commander precon printings of Tales / Middle-earth Commander share characters with draft sets. Deck-exclusive frames still carry their own product code — not a random LTC from memory. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Tales of Middle-earth Commander is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code LTC (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Tales / Middle-earth Commander, mismatch between listing title and LTC is the usual bait-and-switch.
