Niobium Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Tracking number received for mine. Now The Wait. I was reading up on how sanctions effect such things and the take home was, it'll vary by country and in some cases your package might get to gather dust in customs for a while as they contemplate if a deck of cards is a 'luxury good' (in the US case) but generally things of this nature are getting through. Eventually.
legendaryelement Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I have been gathering “hybrid” playing card based decks … these arrived yesterday: Oracle Fusion Deck (Haley Games; printerstudio) ~ V1 {red backs} & V2 https://www.printerstudio.com/sell/haleygames > Note: the preview photo makes one deck appear creamy, but both versions are white in color. They come in plain white tuckboxes & there was no packing slip, but I am going to enjoy comparing the associated choices with the Pixie Cards - Universal Game and Story Cards (drivethrucards) that I am using for the Sacred Days of Midsummer. https://www.drivethrucards.com/m/product/222858 Edited June 17, 2022 by legendaryelement

KiMo Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 A couple of days ago I pushed the 'buy now' button for The Lonely Dreamer Tarot, now I have to wait while it flies from the other side of the world 😅 https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/931898279/the-lonely-dreamer-tarot-2nd-edition I have the Oracle d'Or, by the same artist, waiting in my basket as well while it's still on pre order. This morning a second hand copy of the Elemental Tarot came through the letterbox, and a few days ago a second hand copy of the Moon Oracle also arrived so I'm looking forward to taking a dive into those!
TheFeeLion Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 My Dreamkeepers arrived! 😁 So happy it's finally here. I've only have the chance for a quick flick through to check everything is there so I'm looking forward to getting properly stuck into it. I think it'll be amazing for ISG 😁

Niobium Posted June 26, 2022 Posted June 26, 2022 So in an amusing turn, I received the MM Dreamkeepers as a gift, which I'm going to keep and re-home my indie copy. This is one of those cases of the MM really outshining the original, what a NICE box it has for the deck and book. I pre-ordered a 'stained glass' RWS variant, basically it looks like someone took the PCS images and carefully redid them in a stained glass motif. Once I have it I can confirm the quality; if anyone else feels like taking a risk: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1175262551/the-stained-glass-tarot-deck-preorder
Eno Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 Today the postman delivered my Anne of Green Gables Tarot, the printerstudio version with the errors...
Sartori Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 The other day, a courier (in fact, she is also the owner of a small online store) brought a brand new Lubanko Tarot deck to my office at the publishing house. The images are peculiar, but there is something in them.
DanielJUK Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 I've seen it online @Sartori and it looks like a wonderfully surreal and diverse deck 🙂

It will be up there again in the end, but when you make a mistake you have to go through the approval process again. Kind of convoluted.... Mercifully I think this only hit you and me. I am waiting for two from Russia - Forgotten Legends and Four Cities....
Eno Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 Today the nice postman brought my "Tarot of the Toiling Hands". I like Black&White decks and this one is beautiful. https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/1067281469/the-tarot-of-the-toiling-hands-78-card
ballerina Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 Yesterday the mailman brought me (well, I had to go pick them up) Manifest Success Affirmations Cards by Deja Drewitt and 3 decks from Travis McHenry: The Oracle of Heaven and Hell and 2 playing card decks. Also, I got the card bags sold at Bloodstone Studios. They are amazingly nice for only $5.00 each. I'm waiting for a couple Patrick Valenza "bumped" decks. I don't have any of his decks so I thought this would be an economical way to check them out. I do love the artwork of the Deviant Moon Tarot and the conceit of the whole Mildred Payne story. I look forward to getting them. I have found that the mail finally seems to be getting back to "normal".

AJ-ish/Sharyn Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 Thought I'd add a Postie Going Out image ~ many people will be happy when these start arriving, the last half of my collection 🙂 The first half went out in January. (I'm losing my vision, can't see the details anymore, so have created my own large deck)
legendaryelement Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Just in time @AJ-ish/Sharyn … saw that the USPS prices will rise again July 10th.
Niobium Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Ack, AGAIN? x.x So glad I sold the bulk of my decks. Found a Medieval Enchantment (Nigel Jackson) NIB for a good price, *and* a copy of the Russian Andersen Tarot for a steal. Replacing everything I just sold? Possibly...
Eno Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Tod ay the p ostman brought a huge packet, much bigger than I expected it to be. It contained my Broken Mirror Tarot collectors box: Edited July 8, 2022 by Eno
gregory Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 OH WOW - mine should come soon then.... Did the collector ones go first ? I went for the three decks - I don't think anything else came with them....
Nanook Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 On 6/14/2022 at 8:26 AM, Pierre said: Well, I just ordered The Tarot of the Toiling Hands - it's a tattoo inspired deck by Esme Baker, who runs a tattoo shop. It started out as a fundraiser for the shop, but she's selling leftover decks and damaged box decks on the Etsy site. I think they are really great artistic expressions of Tarot, and I can't wait to try them out. Cost was good, shipping, of course, as everyone has already mentioned, is huge. But sometimes, you just buy stuff you need. I needed this deck. If you're curious: Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/esmebakertattoo/esme-baker-tattoo-78-card-tarot-deck Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/EsmeBakerTattoo I'm not associated with Esme Baker in any way btw, just to be clear. It says it should be here in a month. Will update when I get it. Anyone else know about/have this deck? An y thoughts on it? Take care, stay safe, Pierre Thank you for sharing this one. I had to order it even though postage was almost as much as the deck. It’s beautiful!

I went for the three decks - I don't think anything else came with them.... There were I think two ways to get all three standard sized decks: buying the special box set (which was all 3 regular size and all 6 minis, pictured there), or buying the 'all three decks' package, which doesn't come in a fancy box, it's just all three standard size decks for a lower price. Looks lovely, @Eno! Can't wait for mine to show up. (I only ordered Emerald.)

I slightly wish I had - but they tell me I can get the minis later No, I only got Emerald--I'm trying to reduce my collection, and that would have pointed me wayyyy in the other direction. 😄 (I'm attempting to require myself to remove a deck for any new decks I get, and I couldn't find that many to release.) So maybe I'll see it this week!
