Going prices for various "Out of Print" tarot decks ... - Page 12

[QUOTE=Gwynne] And there's a no name Italian deck currently at $115 with 8 days to go. It's dated from the late 1800s to early 1900s so will probably go high as well.

The "no name" Marseilles, mentioned is a deck published by Alessandro Viassone of Turin, circa 1890. It can be seen on page 390 of the Encyclopedia of Tarot, volume II

the seller did the homework...I found another Viassone picture scans online and compared my 1940 Viassone tax stamp and the circa late 1800 one...the dating looks to be as the seller said.

I bid a little on the ebay deck, but decided my damaged double-ended Viassone is fine. It was free with other deals that I did a few years ago, so I'm okay with its age and damage...it's a full deck.

I usually go for repros anyway.

Best,

Cerulean

I was browsing ebay today, and was watching a healing earth tarot. Bidding just ended at $279.00 us. Too much for me. BB Dakini

There's a Nightmare Before Chistmas deck?! How'd I miss that one...

Just caught the end of an interesting auction on eBay for a deck I'd never heard of before, the Hornsteiner Leo Tarot. It ended up going for $76 - as I've never seen this deck before, I have no idea if that was a high or low price for it. It looked like an interesting deck, though.

It's a German deck that uses Astrology along with tarot. There are twelve versions of it, one for each sign. The only difference in the versions, is the zodiac cards. I have the Cancer version, since I'm a Cancer. I've seen the Pisces, and Leo, but wouldn't mind seeing the rest.

"There's a Nightmare Before Chistmas deck?! How'd I miss that one..."

The ONLY people who got that deck were the ones who attended the original sneak preview showing at Disneyworld (or something like that, it was a very limited run and only the people who were there to see the sneak preview of the movie got the 'freebies'). Most likely the only place you'll see them would be up on eBay as people sell them off. It was never commercially available and the run they did on it was very small. So with the deck you're not only bidding against tarot collectors, but also the Disney memorabelia collectors, which isn't fun.

I'm still looking for an Alchemical. All of the ones I've seen on E-Bay have gone for over $100. I also saw 2 on Amazon and both went for around $110. I'm still hopeful though that I'll catch one at a reasonable price; I think you have to just keep looking. Hope I get lucky!

Starlily, I think that Scion still has a copy or two available for trade - you might want to check out his trading thread in the Tarot Trading forum. I've seen the Alchemical go for around $50 a few times recently on eBay . . . there are a lot of copies of it out there circulating around, it's just a matter of catching it at the right time and the right price. I've even heard of someone buying it for around $40 from an Amazon marketplace seller. And I got my copy for only $2 - it was sitting on a very high shelf, all covered in dust (but still in pristine, shrinkwrapped condition) at the local Goodwill.
