To jmd or whoever, what's the name of this marseille deck and who is the publisher? (copy this url) Thanks. http://www.tarotforum.net/attachment.php?s=&postid=16622

Fortunately, it has its name attached - for once I posted an attachment which would later make identification easier! It is the Conver deck, and available form three publishers: Héron in France; Camoin (on thick cardboard), also in France; & LoScarabeo in Italy. Though my favourite is from Héron, there is little difference between it and LoScarabeo's. I have all three, but would only recommend the Conver from Camoin if you are interested in having quite a thick deck without plastic coating (please note that this is from the Camoin publishing house, and is different to the Camoin Marseilles).

JMD- Is this the deck published as the "Ancient tarot of Marseille" from Lo Scarabeo?

Yes. Lo Scarabeo also has its own Tarot of Marseilles; that is a different deck from the Ancient Tarot of Marseilles. The deck you want is this one and not this other one.
