Anyone else having no luck viewing the ebay item? When I click on the link up comes an ebay info that states they have to block certain items to certain countries. I've come across this with WWII memorablia but never tarot!

He only mails to the US.... Maybe that does something ?

Item no is 230695453754 - try signing in to ebay.com ?

I suppose the pack is "A" judging from the Wheel of Fortune card. I'm sure a number of people are ready to pay 2000 USD for the set.

Thanks for the suggestion gregory....unfortunately I still get the 'item access restricted in your country' info even going straight to ebay.com and putting in the item number.

I'm not intending bidding so no harm done but I would have liked to see it.

A very big thank you for that gregory. Much appreciated.

I'm not well versed on the Rider Waite but that looks like one beautiful old deck.

Not conclusionless and not a thread :D

I think that makes the C the cracklebacks. Which this one has.

Interesting article, but I thought the theory about the crack in the stone for the Sun had been exploded. :D

PS And thank you for asking for scans!
It's not that I doubt the authenticity, but if I were a potential buyer I'd want clear pics... :p

The crack theory is very much under discussion - by Jensen at least ! I back Ric Minetti on the subject myself (which is the same as in the Alligo book.)

I'll have to read up on the issue then. I can't remember where I read it, but I remember a lithographic artist weighing in on the topic... I suspect this isn't the place to discuss it, though. :p

Still no bid on the eBay deck...

I have those details somewhere..... I think it may have been OnePotato....

- but as you say - OT.

ETA but since you mention it it's in this thread. Posts 230 etc and thereabouts.
