An absolute original 1910 Rider Waite deck with the extremely rare roses ad lilies back and a card size copy of the pictorial key to the tarot

Only 8,200 dollars, bought by Stewart Kaplan :)

Jema, darling... honey...
You know that vintage Aquarian could make someone else happy when you get tired of it, right? :P

I just can't help it, surrendering is not for me! })

That name sounds familliar... ;)

Does anyone have the Dali deck? It always seems like it always goes for at least 80 or 90 USD, even before you check on ebay. I curious to know if the deck worth it?

Well, somebody wanted that one bad!

Hey: Maybe if you added up the price of all the original Visconti cards that are left (I believe they're in a museum somewhere...) they'd add up to more than $8, 200... Shall we try? })

I wish I had that much money to spend on my collection...

Kiama

They have the whole thing online for viewing at www.tarot.com But... see that gold stuff around the borders? That's actual gold leaf. This is part of why it's so damn expensive... and it means that you cannot shuffle it, ever. So I think it's a waste, unless you're a serious Dali acolyte, or you want to frame the whole deck and put it on your wall or something.
