Yves Madenie Facsimile
Yves 1709 Facsimile of the Madenie deck is no longer available on the US Games site either. In fact, prices have been insane the last couple of weeks on Amazon sites on both sides of the Atlantic. I loved the deck so much I was afraid to use it, which put me in the market two weeks ago for another deck. I've had Ebay orders (buys, not bids) cancelled on me (I suspect because they saw the same thing I was seeing). I've received the Chosson facsimile when I ordered the Madenie (the vendor said it was a 'mistake' and he didn't have the Madenie anymore anyways - yeah right). I kept the Chosson because I didn't have it yet. Anyways, I now possess three Madenie decks by virtue of carpet bombing vendors with little expectation of actually getting the deck. Who knows how much rationality there is in these prices, but the Tarot is a sacred thing and while there are a few vendors still out there with the deck listed at retail price, I have no desire to buy them all up in an effort to corner the market lol. Anyways, for those who need a deck, the Namaste esoteric bookstore has it listed still on their website and it is indeed where I received my last copy of the deck from (Yesterday). Good luck all.
