A Little Help
I have the deck and truthfully it is not my favorite from Mahoney and Ukolov. Their Victorian Romantic deck is by far superior. The biggest drawback to this deck is the fact it will not and does not wear well, the card stock is similar to what Mahonoey and Ukolov used on their Baroque Bohemian Cats Tarot. A bit flimsy for lots of use. A pretty deck, but certainly not worth a grand. If that doesn't help in de-enabling you, then consider that in time either US Games or Lo Scarabeo will make a huge offer acquire the rights and publish a reproduction on heaveier card stock much like Kaplan of US Games did with Godfrey Dowson's The Hermetic Tarot.
Hope that helps.
All Is One said:Got a huge problem. I saw the Tarot of Prague on someone's photos and I feel I must have it. It's going for almost $500 used through Amazon marketplace sellers and a new one was way way over $1000. Even I'm not crazy enough to pay those prices, but could someone please tell me something to ease my pain and de-enable me from wanting this deck?
