Tarot de la Felicite, 2006 Edition.

In a recent thread, the Tarot de la Felicite was brought up, and I swooned a bit over the cards.

I've known about this deck of 22 TdM Trumps for about three years, and have always wanted a set.

I checked about a year or two ago, and it seemed the going price was around $200.

Today, Papageno alerted me that there was a NEW EDITION of the deck available on Ebay. A 2006, limited edition, 500 copies, signed, numbered. It seems there are still copies available.

The box is different than the version I have seen before. I'm not sure if the quality of the cards is different in any way.

I've just ordered mine.

They look beautiful...

A drooling...

akkkk....Must hide my password...will not buy....

Broke right now, but I added this to my favorite sellers so I can find it in a month or two.

Fantastic!

It's clear that this second edition is quite distinct in its finish from the first, so I need it for comparative purposes

love to hear your comments when you get a chance to do a comparsion.

the two most obvious differences I can discern from the website images are the designs of the backs and the background. obviously I can't speak about the finish of the cards or other fine points. I can't even make out the background design of the first edition clearly which is frustrating.

I am interested in your view of this deck le pendu, because I cautiously say that it doesn't appeal to me from what I see. I think its the coloured backgrounds that puts me in mind of the Marsella. But perhaps I'm being unfair, not seeing it in the flesh.

Right Moonbow*,

I am not a fan of the Marsella because of the backgrounds. These look more subdued to be. I hope so!

I love the artwork, and craftsmanship, and the choices of what elements from which decks were chosen.

If I don't love it, it will be finding a new home soon enough, but I suspect I will like it very much, I've only heard good things about it.
