While I don't believe in fortune telling the concept is intriguing enough for me to have spent considerable time studying the methodology and even doing a dozen and a half "readings." That said, Tarot cards just don't do it for me. It comes across as a Dungeon & Dragons or Lord of the Rings sort of board game to me. Whereas cartomancy via playing cards resonates with me due to the general historical symbolism which has morphed but retained much of its early intent.
Regardless, I'll still buy and collect Tarot decks because I like cards and printed matter in general. Here is The Devil card from the 1972 Hoi Polloi Tarot deck partial set that I bought yesterday for a reasonably cheap price of $9. From what I've read the deck is basically a neon technicolor counterfeit rendition of the standard Rider Waite tarot deck with some attributes whitewashed from the palette. I plan to post the entire partial deck in due time.
