Gold/Silver Baba decks. Favorites? Why?

Le Fanu

Can't really contribute much here as I love them all.

Interestingly, my favourite card in the BBC Gold is the Chariot. I just love that sumptuous gold juxtaposed with cat fur.

I have them all - and love them all. The VR is my favourite baba deck ever and I only really use the gold for special personal readings. I have found with time that the 2nd edition gilt-edged one is my favourite - the cardstock feels slightly stiffer and the colours more subtle and the gold edges make it feel a little extra special. Plus a couple of cards which jarred a bit in the 1st editions have been changed.

For me the BG Silver is just breathtaking. My god - I know - all their decks are. However, the BG Silver when tilted at angles can have a look of Victorian Daguerrotype photos - or spirit photography. Like shimmers of ectoplasm.

But - deck apart - I think the shimmers on the Alice are perhaps the most accomplished for me. They are slightly copper-ish and they seem worked into the images with greater mastery. However, my favourite deck remains the VR. Both editions of the deck have this added glint.

I feel even more enabled now in respect to the BG Silver. And YES, all their decks are breathtaking. Baba decks are in a class all their own, beautiful decks that read so well for me.

I remember thinking --cats dressed in 18th century lace and brocade? Nosferatu looking at a girl as the King of Cups? Give me a break. And yet, and yet--

I have been resisting the Alice deck because of its high price point, but this thread is making me want it. Badly.
