which can be bought for $15.00 plus shipping at AG Mueller's Tarotworld. They are fast and reliable. It is out of print in the U.S. as U.S. Games does not distribute that deck over here any more. http://www.tarotworld.com/ The Thomson-Leng is sometimes available on ebay and tarotgarden.com, but it is usually over three to four hundred dollars. Scans of the deck are below from a British historical card society. http://www.wopc.co.uk/tarot/tleng.html Best regards, Cerulean

Here's some more info about the deck Holmes linked to - The Thomson-Leng tarot; http://www.wopc.co.uk/tarot/ I don't quite understand what you're saying though - this deck looks nothing like the Royal Fez Moroccan.

the mixup came from maria posting that i have the link to the royal fez from that website instead of the british tarot which i was looking up at the same time. we are not saying that it looks like anything like the royal fez morrocan but it was mentioned due to a bad link i posted :)

I have seen the British Tarot listed twice on eBay during the past year, once as the British and once as the Thomson-Leng. There was even a "what's this deck?" thread about one of the listings. You're likeliest to see this listed by a British dealer so your eBay search terms should include that option. I've never heard of the Connie Taylor so I'm off to search the Kaplans.

The Thomson-Leng Tarot, also known as the British Tarot, was published in 1935. So if you want to have a copy, keep your eyes on Ebay and all second hand places and keep your fingers crossed. In the last year there have been several decks sold, but all of them went for 200 to 400 dollars. The deck is also listed in Kaplan's encyclopedia volume III.
