Tell me about your subcollections!

vee

I'm just getting to the point in my Tarot collecting where I'm interested in forming some subcollections. Looking at my more recent acquisitions/wishlist, I can tell that I have a strong interest in historical decks, postmodern decks, cultural decks, lit inspired decks, and independent printings. I'll keep buying decks as they interest me, but I may make a more conscious effort to chase those. :)

Oh yeah, I like cat decks too. :p

What about yall?

Very interesting ;)

Mine changes! I have lots of decks but sometimes I'm attracted to a certain genre.I do have quite a few historical decks but rarely read with them.Sometimes if Im in a light-hearted kind of mood I reach for a Fairy themed deck and when I'm looking for some pretty serious advice I reach for my 'dark' decks which are Vampire themed :)

I have a lot of themes in my collection. It could be called a subcollection. I have mythology based deck, gothic, aninal/cats and erotic. It's the four main subcollection that I have.

I wouldn't call it a sub-collection :) but I do enjoy having the small print run decks that I hear about here.

My Subcollections:
mini decks
Marseille
RWS
Lo Scarabeo

Those are the ones that jump out at me. I'm not all inclusive. I don't need to have them all within a category. Just the ones I feel drawn to.

Oh, I do have a few Egyptian decks as well.

Black&white Tarots

But I also have smaller ones, like:

Collage Tarots

Le Fanu

I've never quite understood the concept of "subcollections", but I'll try, here goes;

MRP decks
LoS decks
Thoth editions and Thoth clones
Historic decks
Different versions of the RWS

(I mean, isn't this a bit silly, aren't I just listing everything?)

Schiffer decks
LoS Gold Leaf decks
LoS Artist's decks
Will Worthington decks
70s/80s decks
Editions of the Crystal Tarot
Robert Place decks
Editions of the Visconti-Sforza

(yes, it is silly; basically, my collection can be divided up; I guess those parts are sub-collections. Enough.)

ETA; Erotic and Egyptian? (that's two separate categories :))
