Looking for a 'smudgy' TdM

Carla

• #1

Hi all, I have the CBD and I have a mini LS (the one with the words all over it -- meh), but I've decided I need a new TdM, and I'd like one that has that old 'smudgy' look in muted colours. I'd like one for under £20.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

The facsimiles of Yves Reynard and Wilfried Houdouin have that appearance, although they work out a bit over £20. I like the Pierre Madenie and the Claude Burdel best, but they are all excellent quality:

Another possibility is the Jacques Vieville facsimile:

That too has an aged appearance, although it varies somewhat from standard TdM.

I have that, Carla. It is one of the decks from Yves Reynaud and Wilfried Houdouin, although you have got it from Amazon UK. Very sturdy with square corners, and definitely a bit smudgy. You can see the images here:

I am sure you will like it.

I ended up getting the Ancient Tarot of Bologna as well. Now I have two smudgies.
