I've finished the restoration part of the Payen 1743 (production is still ongoing). I'm thinking about restoring another deck, and I'm open to suggestions.
Preferably, the deck would have all or most of the following traits:
- It should have never been in print, or be difficult to find copies
- It should appeal to me (duh). I tend to like the TdM woodcut decks, but I'm open to other types of decks. I've always wanted a deck that would seem at home in an old carnival (say 1890-1930) - maybe that deck is already out there, and is just looking for someone to give it a little love?
- The full deck should exist - I can recreate pips, but I wouldn't try to invent any non-pip cards.
Decks I've considered and rejected:
Dodal - too similar to Payen. What would be the point?
Vieville - This deck seems to be easily available, and possibly even still in print.
Noblet - A reproduction is not available, but the Flornoy recreation is.
