the most sought after / desirable / killed for decks

[Nina*]

There's really not one single (published!) deck I want that I don't already have.

I do have OOP decks I love and would never part with, but I've also had many I thought I wanted badly only to find out I NEVER used them in spite of their beauty etc.. Sold them without regrets.

Hmm the decks I'd like are;

Ancestral Path
Greenwood
Sideshow tarot

and

The new sacred India tarot

[Freddie]

I'd like to find a first edition of the Royal Fez Moroccan Tarot or a 1930's Grimaud Marseille with lighter blue colouring.

For me it was the Tarot de Paris (http://www.tarothistory.com/2009/04/...arisian-tarot/), but luckily I just bought one a few weeks ago in Tarot Trading here! Now I have nothing really high priority on my list...

[Flaxen]

I've gradually acquired the decks I really wanted over the course of a few years: Greenwood, VR, BG, Balbi, Royal Fez Moroccan, Tarot of Bologna, Vieville, Blue box Rider & Co.

There are a few more that I would like but I'm not desperate for them. I feel they are 'nice to have' rather than 'desperately need'. Some are going for prices I cannot afford to pay so unless they suddenly dramatically drop, I'll have to admire from afar.

I'd love to have an actual historical deck though. I'm such a history buff that the thought of holding an original deck gives me a thrill of pleasure.

I think I would be pleased if I could just see it in real life in a museum.
Over the last ten years I have acquired the decks I really wanted, and I am good for now. It took me the longest to find a Servants of the Light and a Granny Jones I could afford.

i might kill for the Four Heavenly Kings deck...

Well, I won the unmentionable deck on Ebay France today, and didn't even have to kill anyone for it!!!

I have lusted after the Arnoult cards for quite some time, since someone posted a scan of just a few cards on a thread in the history forum one day and I fell in love with the wonky colours... but never thought I'd have any antique deck, let alone that one, which doesn't seem to show up too often.

I am just beside myself right now with collector-joy. My hand was literally shaking as I hit the bid button in the last minute, and I think I jumped in the air and let out some kind of shriek when the time was up and I hadn't been outbid. (I had been imagining Stuart Kaplan or some other such person with deep pockets sitting inside a fort made out of stacks of antique Tarot decks, laptop poised, ready to outbid me and get the deck at any cost within the last split second of the auction)..

I thought the Necromantic deck was fairly easy to find. Or is there another one besides the one with the graveyard art?
