It's 1975, Christmas is approaching and you're a soon-to-be 'Rock Legend'. What do you give your friends for Xmas presents? That's right - you hand serigraph onto rice paper 50 sets of five tarot-themed cards, and give them snappy titles like; 'Lovers' 'Death' 'Star' 'Moon' and 'Fluorescent Cheese Football Bouncing On My Heart' - oh alright I made the last one up, he actually went for 'Earth'. Set No. 24 of the 50 numbered sets was auctioned at Christie's in 1994 for a mere £4,800 (£7,500 GBP or $11,940 USD today.) However, there is another option, because in 1996 an 'official' large 5 postcard set was published by 'bowieart' with each card sized 8" x 6" approx, and there is probably more chance of these coming up for sale on auction sites etc.
So, what are the cards like? Well take a look, here are pictures of the postcard repros;
About as impressive as his acting aren't they - good job he can write songs (although he was okay in 'Labyrinth' and did a good job as Tesla in 'The Prestige'). You can read all about one guy trying to value another set here - WARNING - The comments section at the bottom features a whack-job using bad language;
