EmpyreanKnight Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Is this for real? It seems like Lo Scarabeo is finally going to add another denizen to its metallic decks line. And finally - it's a Marseille! It's going to be a Claude Burdel richly foiled with gold. It doesn't have pics yet, but this seems to be a definite go since aside from Amazon US, it's also listed in their Italian and Japanese sites, along with Book Depository. If this is anything like their Visconti Tarots or their Golden Tarot of Klimt, I'm definitely going to grab this once it goes out in the market. It has a release date of July 25, 2018, so let's see. I can't wait!
dancing_moon Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Yikes. :o And here I thought I didn't need any more metallic decks...
EmpyreanKnight Posted December 9, 2017 Author Posted December 9, 2017 IKR? ;D I have always wondered why LoS didn't include a Marseille in their foiled decks line and now here it is! I won't really count their metallic Visconti Tarots as a Marseille even if it has pips since it definitely precedes the oldest Marseille that I know of. It also has a very different aesthetic, so yeah. I have it tho, and it's oh so gorgeous.

EmpyreanKnight Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 More updates: The line art has been restored from the original xylography made by Claude Burdel in 1751. The colours have been restored to the original brilliance and the cards have been enhanced with full gold impressions on every Arcana. This deck is the richest and most precious Marseille deck ever. With revised instructions and graphics. 78 fully-colored cards with gold foil impressions & instructions.
EmpyreanKnight Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 ISBN: 9788865275283 Size: 66mm X 120mm The description in the previous post was so sumptuous it made my mouth water. All that gold, and on a Burdel! I wonder how the cards would actually be like tho. One thing's for sure - I'd need this deck to light my foray into the Marseille system. The deck is set to be released on either June or July 2018. http://www.bgkorea.com/tarot/Golden-Tarot-of-Marseille-출간예약.jpg[/img]
Raggydoll Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Oooh!!! I totally agree on the sumptuous part ;D
EmpyreanKnight Posted March 19, 2018 Author Posted March 19, 2018 Finally, pics of the actual cards themselves. The foil is almost mirror-like in its clarity. And the colors are so bold and vivid. Yup, it's a sure-buy for yours truly:

Magickjack Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 So what do you think the after pre-order price will be? It doesn't ship till July.
