ALL mine have been opened and many of them, even the rarest ones, have been used for reading at least once. Tarot as an investment is a non starter unless you are looking at seriously limited and rare decks. LoS mass market ones aren't going to cut it. As for pirated ones - I have a few (I just bought one by accident, as I searched for it EVERYWHERE to verify it, failed - I couldn't even find the artist's name ! - so assumed it must be genuine, and only found out it was a knock-off in some reviews after I had received it.) I wouldn't buy one knowingly; it takes income from the original artist. You are right on everything . I feel bad after buying Meta Barons ,because if it is original I will never use it ,but I love the art , Jodorovsky ,everything about it ,so it will have a nice home here ,because I have big three of Tarot names I absolutely love First i of course Maestro Pitisci ,but second and third is a tie between Jodorovsky and Ben Dov Yoav. If it will turn out to be a fake I will be sad ,but will use it .Even this situation isn`t perfect and I will be sad in both cases ,but there is a upside in both cases ,also having Keymaster Tarot (main deck of my purchase)intrigues me is it considered Marseille deck ?

There is NOTHING wrong with collecting; it supports artists and the production of decks, and every card is an artwork in itself., with something of interest. I only own one deck with literally no redeeming merit. Agreed, everybody needs a hobby.
