Why have no Golden Dawn decks turned up?

The existing GD notebooks only show the cards from World to Hanged Man. These are the images that each person was supposed to draw for themselves. In actuality, they were to copy by hand each of the GD teaching papers that included multiple diagrams, in this case for the initiation rituals. Sometimes a more skilled artist would copy the drawings for a less skilled member. So, for all the Trumps that come before the Hanged Man, we only have the Felkin/Whare Ra deck to go by. The Felkin cards are probably close to the deck done by Moina Mathers (rumor has it that it still exists in private hands); it appears to match written descriptions.

I wonder where the deck that belonged to Israel Regardie as copied by Robert Wang went to? It took me a few times of reading 'The Qabalistic Tarot' is realise that Regardie and Wang added changes (extra symbolism maybe???) to their deck to improve it.
