Le Fanu
Mine's on the way. I'm sure it will be lovely and dinky and all the rest of it but my sharply glossy Italian printing is going to take some beating.
The MG isn't a deck I read with but I do consider it a classic and had to order the tin version. But the China printing, while nice, probably won't have that pop which I love so much in the Italian. Plus, I've always been fine with the standard version. It doesn't take up that much premium space in my bag. My bag gains - what? - an extra inch of space?
Weirdly, I found that my old battered Universal in a soft bag weighs less than the PCS deck in a tin. So I begin to wonder - what is it we like it tins? Weight? Size? A normal deck in a lightweight bag doesn't occupy that much space, nor is it heavier.
But of course we love them - for the novelty factor. I'm looking forward to it arriving. I do wish I loved the Morgan Greer more. It's such a lovely deck, but it leaves me craving symbolism, so I tend not to use it that much.
