The Tarot Garden
From Our Collector Vault: "Before They Were Famous" -- First/Early Editions

The list below is an assemblage of first and early-edition printings of decks that later went on to wider-distribution printings by mass market published (although not always within the U.S.). They are considered "collectibles", and are either numbered limited editions and/or differ from subsequent printings in one or more significant ways. Many are majors-only decks that were later released into the mass market as 78-card decks. Prices are provided, but Tarot Garden discount coupons will be accepted for these items if you have one. For fastest service, contact Dan directly at dmp@tarotgarden.com if you wish to make a purchase. If you have an online account with us, we can use your credit card on file for payment, or we can send you a PayPal invoice upon request. Prices do not include shipping costs, which will be added to the total cost of the order at a rate that allows us to cover the actual postage plus recover our own shipping overhead costs (usually $.50 - $3 extra, depending on the weight of the final package).

Important Considerations:

Some of these decks are majors only (22 cards). Decks that do not contain 78 cards are so noted.

Many of these decks are preowned. That means they are not in new condition, although some items may be close. We will inspect decks prior to finalizing a purchase. Decks missing cards will not be sold. If we find major flaws not previously noted, we will inform you and adjust the final sale price accordingly. All items are non-returnable and non-refundable. Please read all information carefully.

The Tarot Garden warrants the following:

• All cards will be present -- we are not selling any decks known to be incomplete.
• Cards will be free of tears and obvious creases.
• The cards will be in usable condition.

Buyers should be aware of the following:

• The deck may not be in the original box. If in the original box, it is unlikely that it will be in mint or like-new condition.
• The LWB (Little White Book) may or may not be included.
• Cards may show bends or curvature (not creases) associated with handling and normal use.
• We are not responsible for manufacturer or printer errors -- i.e., we cannot provide "corrected" replacements for decks with misprints.
