How Many Decks are Enough?

This isn't a trick question. Do you ever feel you will have "enough" decks?

I know there's always a chance a new one will catch everyone's eye from time to time, but is there a number you think is enough or too many? I know everyone is different, just wanted to know if there are those of you who don't think you could be happy getting an occasional new deck, but usually buy a dozen or two every year, and if there are those of you who are pretty happy with a handful or two, adding one here and there.

When it comes to tarot decks, are there ever....enough?

This is a trick answer.

I'm aiming for 78 decks: one for each card in a conventional deck.

(with the purchase of deck number 79, I'll be *damned* if anyone *dares* suggest I should get rid of any!)

Basically: two decks is too many, but once you push past that barrier, 2,000 decks is not enough.

So I think after my 78th deck, I'll aim to have as many decks as the year (2010 this year, 2011 next year etc) and if by some miracle I manage that, I'll aim for the full date, ie, 24-4-2010 is today, so that'd be 2,442,010 decks.

Cute.

Too funny, Nisaba!

Right now, I am using two tarot decks and am quite happy, but that doesn't mean there aren't some I still want. After looking over literally probably close to 1,000 decks over the last five or six weeks, I've narrowed it to a handful, most of which aren't out yet (Anna K, Silver Era and new BG, because I missed out on old BG's), but will be soon. I wanted one Majors only, so I'm getting the Star tarot this month. I only get decks I feel I want to read with and that speak to me when I check them out online, so that narrowed the field a lot for me.

I have a feeling decks are chattier to you, Nisaba, because I don't think you get decks you don't feel like you want to read with either.

the road of excess ...

I have always had enough decks. Not that this presents any impediment or moral significance to having more decks tomorrow.

I have enough, seek too many.

When my house can no longer holds my decks it is not enough, I just need a bigger house! lol

I think one deck that you can use well ought to do the trick. Beyond that, you're really just making a pile.

LOL Zan!

I loved that. Beyond that you're just making a pile! Priceless!

I have enough, but I'm itching for some more. Too bad the budget doesn't concur!

OK, which ones would make it enough, Amanda?

Right now, if you had, oh, 500 dollars burning a hole in your pocket, which decks would you get and would THAT be enough lol.
