The 20th Century Tarot doesn't turn up in a Google search - maybe I'm typing it wrong. Can anyone tell me about this deck?

It is a black and white, OOP deck printed in 1970 by the SKOR-MOR CORPORATION in California. Kevin G. Burne wrote the small book that came with it. There is a tribute to Arthur Edward Waite in the book, but the minors are unillustrated. The art on the majors is sort of sixties style. The book notes that for replacement decks, send $2.00 to...... LOL

When I found it at the used bookstore, I did a google search at least three times. The only time I was ever able to get a listing was on Abebooks.com. Ebay sometimes has it. It was sent to the aeclectic.net requester on the exchange board, as I had no need of it and she was in the U.S. Kevin Burne is the author of the booklet and if a bookseller did list it, abebooks.com lists by author. The game publisher Skor Mor is out of business. The deck was done in the 1970's. I only found one tarot listing in the Encyclopedia of the Tarot, Volume I and pictures. It's in Stuart Kaplan's collection. By the way, some tarot decks that are extremely rare but known by fans sometimes do not have Encyclopedia of the Tarot listings. The Citta Ferarra Tarot by Amerigo Folchi is not listed in the three volumes, although I've seen online listings for it. Best wishes, Mari Hoshizaki
