Many here will remember Roderick Somerville, formerly of Edinburgh and now in France. He of the AMAZING parcels that made it feel like a crime to open them.

 

WELL - I quote:

Quote

 I'm thinking of selling some or all of my collection of Tarot cards. As you perhaps recall, I've kept one example of every set I've ever stocked (plus examples of other sets I decided not to stock). If you or any of your friends are looking for any particular packs, it's always worth asking me. I keep finding packs I'd forgotten I had. Often they turn out to be duplicates.

 

If this might be of interest to you, PM me. And to anyone who doesn't know of him - he is honest and reliable as the day is long. One heads up though - he effectively closed his store some years ago, so very recent stuff isn't likely to be there.

I think I got my Costante Minchiate from him. 

 

I sent a PM about something. 

 

 

Answered and request sent to Roddy. (I got mine from him too - also the one you are after !!! )

He has what you are looking for..... and YOU have PM !

The thread has turned into deck trading, on behalf of someone else. Trading isn't allowed in the decks section. So we will move it to the Promotions section, people can contact who are interested. The other place is the Subscriber's Trading Section but I think this will work best in Promote Yourself.

This is not trading or self-promotion. This is simply a thread alerting members to a huge collection of very good stuff being sold by someone who used to run one of the best on lines stores out there. Just like all those threads promoting Kickstarter decks., which are allowed to remain in the decks section This isn't me promoting me; this is an alert to the sale of some very good stuff. Sale, not trade. I hope putting it under promote yourself doesn't mean people looking for class stuff don't miss out.

We discussed this and we did not take the decision lightly, @gregory. With kickstarters, it is different. Here you are connecting people through PMs.

I would post Roddy's email to avoid the PMs, but that would be worse. That was why I stated in the thread that I was putting him in touch with pickles. And I am NOT trading. He has no website and he has SUCH good stuff ; it is effectively a store.

Ok fair enough. But why is he not here himself? That would make it easier and much clearer.

I would prefer not to discuss him in a thread. But he doesn't do forums; he never ever has. Or facebook, as far as I know. Other than his own store, basically now defunct, the only other place on line I have seen him is wopc, if you want to see that he's for real:

And of course the associations he was chairman and president of.

He is however on Facebook.

Good lord ! I wouldn't know, of course ! Anyone needing a link to THAT will have to ask pickles.

 

Oh - and also on linkedin

I'm not on Facebook so I sent you a PM.

Answered. And I believe it has worked out for pickles. I will give Roddy's email to anyone asking after something specific,

Yes it did! I meant to post here. All very pleasant and efficient 😀

And... my package has arrived!

 

This has been the most pleasant and efficient purchase I've ever made. Mr. Somerville has been sweet and extremely punctual, and everything came neatly packed, wrapped, and labeled. I can't wait for a day off to play with my new decks 😆 And all thanks to you, @gregory!

His packaging is AMAZING. I never like to undo them. It was the talk of AT for a while.
