Hi All
Looking for your help, since I am ignorant to the many variations of the Marseilles.
I have had some very good advice from Diana regarding the Marseilles and have settled with the fact that the 'Hadar' is probably the pack that would be most suited to me visually and the colouring was probably the kind I would like most.
Have looked at the different decks since on the net and discovered even more options. I will still purchased the Hadar, but should I come across any other variations and have that 'impulse urge' to delve into my pockets and buy one (an urge I can't control, you must understand lol), what I want to know from you experienced souls is ..... is there any that I should REALLY stay away from? At the moment, it is hard to tell the difference between them all, let alone variations and reprints of the same deck. I have seen the Camoin and the Conver in reviews here - the only names I remember apart from the Hadar. I remember my friend has a ToM but similarly, I couldn't begin to tell you which one it was; aside from she doesn't read the cards, to my knowledge and has had it quite a few years. The colouring on hers were quite stark and at the time, I remember being quite unattracted to it.
I suppose it is like someone who has never seen the cards before and wants to buy a RiderWaite; which do they purchase? So many tried and tested versions. If you have no knowledge of that area, you may go searching for the older yellow box version and come home with the Radiant or Universal, knowing little of the contrast between the three.
Does this make sense?
Thanks to Diana, once again, for her help; and to anyone else that may be able to help with this search.
Best wishes to you all
