I think this is how the "Great Tales" ones (The Children of Turin, Beren and Luthien, and The Fall of Gondolin) were recently (relatively) put together: with the aim of making the closest thing...
Wondering if anyone has an opinion on this question: if the goal were to obtain a JRRT signature (on anything, doesn't have to be a book) as cheaply as possible, what would the likely floor (cost)...

$183.73.
I believe no limitation on the $75 one (although I did panic-order it).
HEADS UP PEOPLE:
There is a less-deluxe, non-slipcase edition being published simultaneously with the one above. Personally, I dig the white leather, and the page edges - ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING...
That may change as we approach October, especially since HarperCollins often releases (in the US) the same edition (or nearly so) as HRH. Since this is pretty limited, it's far from guaranteed, but...
New limited edition of LOTR - with some nice features - coming on Oct 14 or 19 (Amazon UK says Oct 14, the AP says Oct 19):
