I'm very excited about a deck I saw and don't have a clue what it is!
I'm going to try and attatch file so you can see it. We'll see if I'm capable of attatching file right?!
Has anyone ever seen this deck ? What is the name of it??

What do you think of it?

Wow, I've never seen that one. Great deck! It looks like the borders were borrowed from the Tarot of the Witches/James Bond deck. Do you have access to the Minors? I'd be curious to know what they look like.

I think it's very cool. I don't know what it is, though.

It's got a very iconic, comics feel to it - so I asked my partner, a comics buff, if he could identify it.
He reckons that it's not by a practising comics artist (images slightly too static) but it seems to be partly influenced by an artist called Jim Fitzpatrick - maybe a comics BB would be able to help.
James is usually right about these things, by the way.
Hope that can help.

I don't know what deck it is either but its an interesting one. Where have you seen it?, nothing on the cards or box - are the minors pips or pictures? I love the colours, what do the sun and star cards look like?

I don't know it either but the strenght card seems to show the story of Samson
At least it looks that way :)

It's my secret for now! I'd love to get my hands on it too, but it probubly won't happen (but I'm trying!) In a few days I will let you guys know. I have no name but I do have a publisher. I can't believe no one has ever seen it or knows what it is! I've looked at just about every review I can find online, so I think I'm fairly knowledgable. I thought maybe it was just me having a mental block or something. The Mystery goes on......................I love the chariot. Sorry , don't have any pictures of the minors.

U.S Games? hmmm............I didn't think so but I will definitely have to look into that.
O.K. Faunabay, Are You There! Quick! I'm going to tell u where to get it. At Ebay! I kind-of had a feeling the bidding would go higher than I can afford at this time.
Go to Ebay , search "tarot", the title is "Beautiful 100 card Tarot set Mint Condition" auction ending May 22 , hour 19:32.
The seller deals in sports cards and memoribelia and doesn't know a thing about tarot cards. I hope the other participants of the auction don't hate me now! U.S. Games? from what I remember from the auction, the publisher's name is something I never heard of ever , with the word "psychic" , or "psychic network" in it.

why does the ebay site say it has 100 cards then?
:THP

Liliana: I just saw the eBay listing. That is puzzling. If the seller is not familiar with Tarot decks, perhaps there are several decks included in the offer?

Meewah , the prize goes to you for figuring out the name of this deck, what it is exactly , and actually locating another one for sale!! The mystery has been solved! Yeah , I wonder what's up with the 100 cards?

MAYBE the guy at E bay has this deck PLUS another regular deck and doesn't even know it?

PurpleLady: I had not thought of that. The numbers sound plausible, unless there is a miscount. I think decks are packaged 6 to a packet or case. With this deck, it would mean 6 decks x 22 cards or 132 cards total.
It would be interesting to find out exactly what those 100 cards represent.

The same seller has another one up for auction, wonder how many s/he has.
There's also a Hermetic Tarot listed for whoever was looking for one (sorry I forgot who it was)

Well, the seller has cancelled the second auction of this deck, the reason being that there are 132 cards, not 100, and that this is actually 6 major arcana only decks sealed together.

For anyone who's interested - this 132 card deck is up for auction again on ebay.
The seller is doing a dutch auction where he has 100 decks of 132 cards - each one selling for only $1 !!!!!!
It runs for another 2 days I think!
