I'd love both of them as well....but add shipping to Australia and it's pure madness. Perhaps someone can try de-enabling us. Go on, I dare you.....I'm sure it just won't be possible
Shippng to OZ? eeep. Makes shipping to Texas look... well... like a bargain! You have my condolences...

The 7fold thingy has MISPRINTS - one even ON AN IMAGE.
And they aren't cards but whacking great pictures like a portfolio. Even I am not buying it.....
a) I want cards and b) I feel sure he will at least correct the misprints. I can't even have a card reading "As above do below...." in the house...
As above do below? lol. I did find that on the Magician card. I see your point about wanting *cards* - but the annotations would be too small to read if it were so. I think that's the point. As far as you not buying it... well... Scion did!

(re: 2 copies of the Mystical Lenormand) Now that's just silly. Can you use two at the same time ???
What a cool idea! Or you could pull significator cards from one of the decks, and then that card could show up in a spread again! Besides, we all need spares of our fav decks, right?

I don't think that's the Cary Sheet, I think it is the Rosenwald or Dick Sheet or something ... forget now and can't be bothered to go dig it up. But it's far too bright and gaudy. And it's majors-only. And the Sevenfold Mystery? Hold out for the usable DECK.
Okay, I guess it's not the Cary sheet. And it is bright - but it's so whimsical? (I do wonder what size the cards will be...)

I really expected it to be nicer. Looks just like the Dame Fortune's Wheel same colouring and everything. {snip}
(what a funny thing to desire...)
lol Le Fanu. The images from DFW are from the Charles VI, while these are from ... well, something else. And DFW has such awful backgrounds, and pips that are a mixture of RWS and.. well... something else.
These are so whimsical! (although, if Scion was right, they will be offered at $150.

Me? Want them? Er ... I think not (said Descartes, and promptly disappeared in a puff of paradox).
I guess there are two questions that should be asked of decks when you are seriously thinking of adding them to your wish-list: do you think they will work well as a deck that is will you use them in preference to one of your already-existing decks; and the second question, if the images were blown up as full-sized paintings, could you live with them hung on the walls of your home for more than five years?
The answer to both questions, sadly, did not start with a Y.
First Q: this deck would not be a working deck - it is a study deck, AFAIK. And as full-size paintings - just look at that temperance card! Yes, on both counts.

sigh. I do get this thread, honest. But I convinced Robert Place to sign up to ATF at the Readers Studio and he did yesterday. And trust me, he isn't shallow.
Oh yes, Robert is a genius. Hopefully he won't see this thread! We are so cruel here...
I suppose my question about both decks is: will they eventually be released as 78-card reading decks, and if so, will they (pretty please!!!) use pips?
