I told myself that I'd never buy individual cards from the Rock 'N Roll Tarot (Chris Paradis) off eBay from a deck disassembler.
But I couldn't help myself when a Lynnyrd Skynnrd merchandiser on eBay was inexpensively selling 6 identical Skynnrd cards (as a single Lot) from that deck. Great, I get to have the same piece from six unaffordable Rock 'N Roll Tarot decks. He wasn't selling any other cards from that deck, so I figured he wasn't a disassembler, although likely he must have bought them off eBay one by one from disassemblers. OK, a bit of rationalization on my part. :) I realize I'm probably going to have bad karma because of this. :)
By the way, the card is the 9 of Cups "For I Must Be Travelling On Now, Because They's Too Many Places I've Got to See". Sounds a bit more like the 9 Hermit to me. :)
Anyone else here who has bought individual cards from that deck?

I thought I might get one for my husband. There are a few bands he likes who's names I see.
But so far I have decided that America is too far to send for a single tarot card.
Also, I think it's a weird thing to do, sell the cards like that.
But once one has been sold the rest of the deck is wrecked, so why not buy them?
Don't feel bad.
Tell yourself that you have made a start on aquiring the R&R Tarot, card by card. Swap your 5 spare Skynnrds for 5 other cards...
You could be a deck reassembler!

I have the Mama Cass card - the Ten of Cups with her signature 'Make your own kind of music, sing your own special song' quote. It took a lot of work to get it!

If anyone is interested, there is a second edition Rock 'n' Roll Tarot deck on ebay, item #5565849648. Two days remaining and the price is at $199.00 right now.
There is another deck (edition not specified), item #5565778510. The description is a little weird on this one. With three days + remaining, there are no bids (bids must begin at $350.00).
Anyway, I'm not connected with the sellers in any way and won't be bidding myself...although I did drool a lot on my keyboard looking at the cards.

Luckily, yes, I did have good luck at one time in my life, I bought 2 decks, first edition, for $45 bucks a piece. One signed, one not. They are intact and will remain that way forever! I bought them directly from Chris Paradis!

Tarotbear - the only card I have bought from eBay was the Mama Cass card - it came in a plastic holder and one day I will hand make a special frame for it.
Also, on PBS last night, they had a fund-raising special with all sorts of clips from their TV appearances, songs, recording studio time ... saw much of it. Wonderful.
Another reason I got this card is that there are certain words capitalized - and they spell ... MOMS. It just struck me as being so ... I don't know, perfect somehow.
Hail to my favorite Mama .... besides Gaia!
