I really liked the look of this deck from looking on the website that was suggest to me in another thread, but this deck I've seen on here, I've also seen on Amazon. Is it one and the same? It says its published by US Games? .. does it have that ghastly US Games trade mark running up the side of every card as they've done with other decks?

They shouldn't. US Games has this link on their website.

Apparently, US Games simply acquired 1000 copies for redistribution. "US Games, Inc." might be printed on the packaging somewhere but I doubt it's on on the cards or wrapper.

Bonjour all !

Yes my decks are only distributed by US Games don't worry.

Mr Stuart Kaplan contacted me (after US Games bought one exemplary of each deck Madenié and Chosson some months ago).
He wrote me a nice handwritten letter (a nice document I'll keep preserved ;)), and then started a good cooperation.
This change of scalle allows me to have a clear idea of what future will be:

I'll issue three old historical tarots decks in 2015: Early, mid and late in year.
Two in 2016
Two in 2017
After this "massive attack" originated from Marseille City :)) I will look for some other interesting decks that remains unknows from other categories.

Same packaging and with wrapper when it still exist.

Have a nice day.

If anyone is still wondering about this, I bought my facsimile Pierre Madenie on Amazon and I've had no trouble. The US Games logo isn't on them and they are stunningly beautiful. The box and tissue that came with it are also gorgeous. All around an A+ product. I'm extremely thankful to have this deck added to my collection :)
