I like the simplicity and straightforwardness of the Marseille decks, and I've been charmed in recent years by the rough lines and quirky faces. Their art and style (and pips) are so unique they allow my brain to read them in a very different way from the RWS type decks, and I appreciate that flexibility and variety.
I agree that it's hard to decide between facsimiles/reproductions and restorations. I want to have both! But if I had to pick one, I'd say facsimiles. The muted colors, faded lines, and flaws of age excite me like all mysterious old things do. Just like with old books, there is something special and thrilling about a deck that has been around forever, that has survived and been handled. I feel an undercurrent that connects me to past eras and people. The reproductions allow me to pretend I'm using an incredible and ancient, fragile deck without having to worry about disintegrating paper or mildew.
I love my Tarot Rhenan (Piatnik), the Chosson I just received, and the faux-facsimile Tarot Des Centuries. The Madenié is next. I pine for a Dussere Dodal, and
really wish someone would make an accurate facsimile of the Jean-Pierre Payen.
The restorations and redrawings are almost an entirely separate category of deck to me. They trade in their atmosphere of mystery, but gain a different beauty and appeal with their bold lines and fresh colors. I do really enjoy my Robledo and ISIS TdMs, and the Spanish. The Flornoy Dodal is great. I'm hoping to get the Noblet soon, and the Robledo Dodal.
Basically, yes, we need them all.
I'm happy to hear the Heri is one of the next decks up! There are some real characters with personality in that one. They won me over when I looked through the gallery on your site.
