Well, I get spares for all my favorite decks. When I really, really like a deck I always get another one because it could so easily get ruined at some future date and it if was OOP by then I could never get another.
I like to drink tea when I work with my cards and it would be so easy to spill it on them. One day, I spilled a whole cup of tea into my knitting basket - what a mess. It could have just as well been my tarot cards.
Of my very, very favorite decks I even get a spare for the spare - I just got my third Victorian Romantic - the Gold Edition.
I'm 51 so might not wear out some of my spares but I figure it's better to be safe than sorry. If I get a deck that I sort of like but don't really connect with then I don't get a spare. If I don't like it at all I usually trade away or sell it.
