I Tarocchi from ideabag - 1980s

[gregory]

Does anyone else here own this deck ? I seem to have absolutely unique packaging, but I cannot actually believe this... I bought it new in 1990 - and mine had no plastic case, as everyone I have spoken to say theirs has. Mine has rather fine boards tied with green cord. They REALLY don't look the kind of thing that's hand made by an owner.... Anyone ?

NO-ONE ???? This is driving me nuts.....

[gregory]

At least two people on the collectors' forum have it - neither with any kind of packaging, though. But if someone made their own cards to stick on - they are AMAZING craftspeople !

 

And Adam has it (or had):

You can find it if you google ideabag tarocchi....

At least four people now certainly own it. And it is mentioned on a few blogs belonging to people I am sure none of us lent it to.

 

I don't want to be nasty - but I am very seriously looking for info here - both for myself out of interest and also for a serious researcher - and you aren't actually helping. ☮️

I didn't want to be nasty. So I included a peace sign, But I really am trying to find out stuff here.

Are the cards on thin wood?

[gregory]

No - perfectly ordinary heavy card. As far as I can tell, so are the cover boards - they give more than I would expect from wood.

WELL - research by the guys who are working on other aspects of this deck has turned up another from the same company with the boards, so at least I can be fairly sure that they are "original"...
