Maybe I should treat myself to both...you know, just in case I need a set of spares ever...

Can you ask the seller if they'd give you part of your money back? You know, since they only sent you part of a deck. And did they mention the teeth marks and other damage in the listing? (And it was priced accordingly, yes?) If not, I'd ask for more money for that.
Maybe you can find out how much it's worth as-is and ask for enough back so that you end up paying that "partial damaged deck" price. Then keep it! Le Fanu's comment makes me think you very well may be able to find replacements for the missing/damaged cards, and in the meantime it sounds like you have a method worked out to use it already.
And of course get the other one, too.
Good! Bet they'll deal with you. Bird in the hand and all that.Good plan- sent email to that effect.
Be wary of those prices, especially if it's been there a while and is the only other one. I recently asked if my well-loved '82 Sacred Rose was worth even half of the "buy it now" prices I'd seen on some used ones on Ebay. I got a "no". I watched some of the auctions just to see how much they went for and the posters here were right.I got it for half of the price of the other one that's available- I will post in the Singles Bar for lost cards thread if I keep it.
Of COURSE you will. Can't wait to see which deck this is.99% sure I'll get it too
I bought a deck on eBay which it turns out, is missing 1 card (2 of wands in a Marseilles style deck so at least I can use one of the 'cover' cards instead right?) seller will take it back for a refund if I want. The deck is 1970s, rare, OOP, well used and some cards are bent, and one card even has teeth marks so it really has character! But if I keep it, I realise it's worth nada to anyone else for resale.
I've noticed there is a newer one on the internet which I could order for twice the price.
Would you-
1. Keep the bitten deck...
or
2. Return it and get the newer one (there's always the risk this too could be faulty).
(Can't say what the deck is 'cos someone will swipe it from under my nose if I do )
