OK - busy afternoon! People coming on the weekend and must get stuff done.... I hope to be around earlier this evening - when there are actually people still here!
Have a good day folks!

Right, here you are (LP - I think "pretty" means it's damned by faint praise!!):

The LH must be 11 and No 8 is missing, so one of these 19s must be 8 - whichever way round you want 11 and 8 - so I don't see how the 19/8 can be Justice if 11 is Strength...

Well I'm only a newbie really. Est is going to have a look when she finishes her task later, and otherwise if she doesn't want it, it's off to a new home free, if anyone wants it. Postage paid by me an' all

Bye! Have an awesome day, Bat!

If Justice is 8 and Strength is 11 that seems right from a TdM point of view, although not RWS. I like that they've given plenty of correspondences on the cards for the peeps that use them

Yeah they've just got two no. 19's instead of numbering the lady with the scales as 8.

There's some screw up with someone adding 11 + 8 and ending up with the wrong number on the card. I don't think they use the roman numbering systems do they? So it's easy to make a mistake.


we've all had clunking mis-buys though - I've bought decks that have arrived one day and gone in Trading the next .....

Seems to me that they may have included version one and version two of strength, maybe? Couldn't make up their minds...? But if you go by traditional images, wouldn't the little girl holding the lion be Strength...? (and my goodness, the silicone boobs on the one riding the lion! It is to laugh! )

Ok, I have to shift my butt in gear and go do some cleaning - I shall never get it done if I have more drinks (coffee, actually!) at the pub! lol...gots to go. Have an awesome day, all! Later!

Do I assume the middle card is a genuine 19, the sun, and there just happens to be a girl and a lion, albeit in a child's walled bit of garden with a sun you can hardly see! That's what I am assuming.

Oh well. It wouldn't have fitted in my collection box anyway. Perhaps the box is my answer. Buy no more



ETA - got an attack of the munchies so I'm heading for the kitchen, where the iMac won't follow me, unfortunately. Back later.

It appears to my eyes that the left card is Strength, the middle card is the Sun (because of the sunflowers), and the right card is Justice - they must've messed up the numbering. My opinion anyway.

I'll try to show you with a photo attached... (hence delay in reply)

I see parrots in the tiny pictures!

As for the numbering, I agree with Ratty and Wu...

It's odd art. Collage? The Strength lady/Lion rider looks like she's at least 3 different women.

Yes -- Słońce is Sun in Polish.
Sprawiedliwość is Justice.

One of the cards has one head and bust plus two bodies descending from it, with two left arms but only one right arm.... I guess that screams collage!!
