I just received my last Il Meneghello deck. Such a shame that this people have the access and the resources to bring to us this ancient relics, yet at the last minute fail to do a good job just out of lack of care and sloppy "artisanship"!
When I got my first deck by them (The Svizzera TdM) i thought it was just a fluke, maybe a very challenging deck to recreate. Then I got number two (The Besançon) and again, the edges and printing butchered.... such a lovely deck too! And no warning about the crooked images or scribbled on cards! But I let it pass, thinking that OK, i'll just get used to it...
And then today, I got the precious Soprafino as an exchange with a kind fellow ATer, and to my surprise, again, messy and carelessly chopped! Like if an 8 year old was given the task to trim the 2000 decks in one sitting...
All the ingredients where there. The dough was allowed to ferment and properly rise, and then they burned the bread in the oven....
So, if you are thinking about purchasing a deck from the highly rated Il Meneghello "Artisans", be aware that you will probably get an unfinished and inferior product.
Bummer...
