Only now??? OMG, I love these. But beware, the newer ones (2010 release) are on hideous cardstock, I fell off my chair when I saw the da Vinci Playing Cards (same illustrations as the Da Vinci Tarot, but on playing cards and not at all like their tarot cardstock).autumn star said:I just realized that Lo Scarabeo also makes a lot of illustrated playing cards here: http://www.loscarabeo.com/ing-catalogo.aspx?p=8353. Does anyone have any of these? I thought that the Alice in Wonderland or the Living Flowers decks seemed appealing.

And then there are the US Games Natural World decks that I keep meaning to compile into my own Best Card Oracle Ever. Virginijus Poshkus, who did work on the Radiant Waite deck, did many of them. What's the UK/European equivalent publisher that does all the novelty playing cards of animals, flowers, etc? Very high quality as well.

It depends which ones you get. The recent ones; da Vinci, Milan, the 2010 releases.. the older ones are fine. My Dukes of Tuscany is on fabulous cardstock.autumn star said:I love those Alice Cards Thanks for the suggestion.
For anyone interested the Playing Card Oracle by Ana Cortez is available again at the Book Depository - I ordered it last night I think I will end up ordering some of the LS playing card decks ~ shame about the card stock though.

ETA; PC oracles not coming up at the Book Depository for me...
I'm a member of her forum and she is doing a reprint and some of the cards will have different paintings on them...her father died recently and she has discovered more of his art on settling his estate....cardlady22 said:I am seriously hoping for a reprint- either by US Games, or for a new publisher deal to be permitted. Maybe even a special edition of some of the other variations of her father's art. A girl can dream . . .
