Favorite Robert M Place deck?

sapienza

my favorite is the First edition Alchemical that I trimmed to a nifty pocket size and edged in black...

I trimmed an original as well and I absolutely love it, it's now the perfect size. After a two year break from tarot this was the deck that I first picked up on returning. I also prefer the colouring in the original to the Renewed.

I am seriously considering the Sevenfold Mystery but am worried that I'd always be comparing it to the Alchemical.

Just recently got around to purchasing the 78 card Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery, and though I couldn't tell you why, it's become my favorite Place deck and maybe my favorite deck. It must be the Burne-Jones effect or something.
Love those skinny dogs :D The color and imagery of the Alchemical Tarot Renewed is more striking and I love that one too. Place's other more commercial decks leave me cold, and even the original Alchemical Tarot seems pallid next to its recent successors. I'm looking forward to a companion book to further illuminate the Sevenfold Mystery but the current lwb is surprisingly good.

I just found a decent used copy of the Angels Tarot, and I have to say that, even for a Place deck, it's surprisingly beautiful.

Curiously enough, even the glossy finish and the white borders --two things I usually hate-- suit these images.

The new Alchemical is supposed to ship by the end of May or so. I hate waiting.

The latest update said June-July. In the meantime, I have a 1st edition Alchemical wending its way to me and a copy of the Sevenfold Mystery.
