No, I mean I really can't. I bought a Daniloff, a Tyldwick, and a Deck of the Bastard. I also pre-orderd a Malpertuis Lenormand. I don't know anything about Lenormands yet, but it said it was meant to be a companion to the Tyldwick and I was like, well then you can't really have one without the other, right?

I also bought several mass produced decks these last two weeks:

Night Sun
Sherlock Holmes
Golden Tarot by Kat Black
etc
etc

I'm DONE now. And I think the Deck of the Bastard is going to win, as far as what I was looking for. So, in all, it might turn out to have been worth it.

Nice list!!! I don't know what you're looking for.... but I see that you have an RWS in your collection, for me that's a touchstone... when I get a new deck I compare it to the RWS, both for similarities, and for insights into the new deck. Enjoy, you have a wonderful journey awaiting...

I think if I never bought another deck for the rest of my life, I'd have enough here to keep me busy.

I was thinking about maybe signing up for a Deck of the Month or Week thread, if it's open to new people, in order to dive in and get better acquainted with one of them.

Mwah? }) More than some, less than many...;) i bought my first deck in 1970...
But my collection list has dwindled quite a bit in the past year...
It fluctuates so much, that i don't even bother to keep it in my profile any longer.

As I was researching, I stumbled onto Le Fanu's blog, My Curious Cabinet. Well, that's a terrible little site. The way Le Fanu writes about each deck makes me want it, whatever it is. I wasn't sold on the Tyldwick until I read that post and it made me see the deck in a whole new way. It was well-written and poignant, in a way.

That's like the most enabling blog I've ever come across. Geez. It was Le Fanu's love of VR that made me re-think.

people have bought things for worse reasons.

Seriously, it's a great deck; i too was meh about some images when i saw them online, and liked others quite a bit and had to wait a long time for the most recent edition. A lot of friends and family members who come for readings always tell me that this seems like such an authentic deck to them; like this what they have in their minds when they picture tarot, which i find quite interesting given it has a fair amount of non-trad imagery.
