Getting off topic here folks. A discussion of what is, or is not a TdM deck would be better suited to the Marseille forum.

I totally agree - that's basically what I said in my first post on this topic!stella01904 said:Calling it a TdM is what would rightly cheese off the "purists". Not the deck itself.
RiccardoLS said:If I were to read this thread and this thread only, I would say that the Serio Marseille will be an incredible success, with almost a 100% appreciation rate. However, all considered, in LS we have received just three mails regarding the deck.
Even on Aeclectic that - with all defects - is a sanctuary for people that love Tarot, and really really love it - the deck went almost unnoticed. If there were two hundread mails... maybe it would be different.

spoonbender said:Ric, I hear what you're saying, but what I don't understand is: if you are convinced that a deck based on the Tarot de Marseille with Serio's artwork will sell badly, then why were those couple of cards ever commissioned? And why did Mark McElroy write on his blog that the project was abandoned because Tarot de Marseille users were "too pernickety to be pleased with any effort to modernize the cards" if it was the artwork and the reception by the main market that were the ultimate factors brought into consideration? Was he misinformed? And how is it that a deck like this would fare worse than specialized decks like the Universal Wirth or the Corto Martese? And is a more expensive limited edition really no option?
