Does anyone reading this have the Rock N' Roll Tarot? If so, I would like to know if Janis Joplin is in any of the cards? Who are all the musicians/bands represented? Thanks! :)

A number of them are listed over here: http://www.stores.ebay.com/pennylanevideo/plistings/list/all/dept0/?col=2&dir=1 People apparently buy the decks then break them up & sell the individual cards on ebay. It's annoying & they use up so much board space. Also a disservice to the deck creator.

Yes sunflowr, Janis is the Tower card in the deck. And HudsonGray hit it on the head about how annoying it is to wade through all those individual cards on ebay. The musicians are a diverse lot but at least Frank Zappa's there.

I think I saw him on one of the sample cards. How about Jim Morrison?

Jim Morrison is featuring in the DOORS (= Judgement) card. And Jimi Hendrix is somewhere in the Pentacles or Wands... Here you can look and check all of the cards, if you like: http://members.aol.com/dworkin777/rockandrolltarot1.html I have the second edition, with the small cards, and the fact that the first edition is sold so ruthlessly card by card irritates me so much!!! :mad: I wish I could ki%k their a$$e$! Not even Chris Paradis can locate first edition decks... :(

Not even Chris Paradis can locate first edition decks... :( Well, how much is the 2nd edition and how small is it? Can you still see the pics and lyrics ok? I want this deck, in any edition! ;) As long as they havent made it TOO small so as not to be able to read it very well. Yes it's a shame and a disrespect to the author, selling the cards in pieces like that. :( I appreciate the link so I could see all the cards. Thanks! What a GREAT deck!

I still like the deck, the size is neat and actually the first edition cards are so bigger the picture seems ... "void" in a way, not enough detailed. The small cards are just good for use, big enough, pretty. Lyrics and pics are sufficiently visible, don't worry. ;) I think you can contact the author to learn about availabiity through the addres on the site.
