Newbie question: Which decks and which editions?
Hi all.
I have found myself obsessing over collecting historical decks. So after identifying which is which in term of their historical timeline, I decided that I will need the Soprafino Deck, Tarot de Marseilles, and the Visconti Sforza. There are so many versions! And I don't know what the differences are, so I can't decide which is for me.
For now, I have the Mary Packard's Visconti-Sforza. But then I realized that this is a 'restored' deck, designed to read with, i.e. as a 'functioning' deck.
If I were to try to obtain a deck which is the exact copy of the original, which version of each of the above decks should I be looking for....?
Also, other than the ones I mentioned, is there any other deck I should be looking at?
Thank you all in advance!
Thanks so much!!
