Make sure if they are opened to count the cards, sell them on eBay, like Zumi said.

Some interesting sets. I don't see anything rare but I'm sure you could get easily over a hundred or hundred fifty for them, depending on the shape. You could go to a local new age shop and get a better estimate.

How I value a deck is if all cards have a picture on them. Most of the cheaper decks (Except Rider) don't have art on the arcana minor cards. They have only a numerical value and the suit. These would be decks I wouldn't collect.

So, I am really glad I started this thread. I knew that there would be people on here that know much more than I what I have. Most of the sets are brand new and the cards are wrapped in plastic. I am really excited because tomorrow I go to the same place all this came from. The lady is now moving from her house to a condo and is ready to get rid of the rest of what she does not want to take with her. We became friends while I worked there, she is a veterinarian. Fun lady. I think most of what she was getting rid of was her ex~girlfriends.

Someone said they would do a reading on me. She just used a deck of regular playing cards. Every single card had a meaning depending on where it was in the deck, what card was before it and what card was after it. After about an hour and a half I finally just said, "What the fuck are you talking about?" and then I left.

Maybe they had no idea how to do it right...I think some people pretend they know what they are doing and talk in such vague generalities that it seems like maybe, there is a hint of truth to what they are saying, or it is so vague you can apply it to pretty much anything that happens in your life.

Seems like there are more types of tarot cards these days than you can shake a stick at.

I used to have a couple of sets once upon a time, the Rider-Waite deck and Crowley's Thoth tarot. The Crowley one is too esoteric to be much use to the casual observer.

I don't believe in tarot as a means of divination, but I have often thought self-readings can be a useful form of evaluating your own psychological state (if you can be objective)

I think in my current life I am too optimistic to be objective. Cup upside down? NO! That does not have a negative connotation, it merely means I am standing on my head and my cup floweth over! The Rider-waite deck was my first deck.

The Castle of Crossed Destinies, by Italo Calvino, is wholly based on a tarot deck, and is one of the most beautiful novels I know. Very well worth discovering, and quite unlike anything else you will ever read.

Thanks Des, I am going to see if I can find that novel.

Here's a pic of a few random cards from a deck I bought at a flea market a couple of years ago because I liked the art

Its "The Gothic Tarot" with art by Joseph vargo

Pardon the pic, the room I'm in has three skylights and this time of the morning I couldn't avoid any glare, but some are pretty clear

Those are beautiful! I can forgive your glare if you can forgive mine... I normally take really good, clean, crisp pictures when I am selling, these were just for sharing though.

Hey Jez on another note if you stumble across comic books shoot me a pm and we'll talk about what you have, that way you don't become one of those people who found a ten grand collection and give it up to some asshole dealer for $400

You know an asshole dealer like I've been for about 25 years now....;)

Good to know. So far no comics, but time will tell!

Something to go by if you are looking to try to sell them

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...ard+decks.TRS0&_nkw=tarot+card+decks&_sacat=0

for the most part with e-bay look at the prices they are going for and figure....they are worth a lot more:rolleyes: that's how it is in the days of the net, its not what its worth, its who is selling it the cheapest

That is so true and thank you for the link!

I know a couple people that do this... mainly the orbs. They show me pics... of 'em. Say that orbs show up when the energy is good, but I'd bet there are bad ju ju orbs somewhere out there, too... if... maybe they've got a redish tinge to 'em or something. Oh... nevermind. :cool:
Click to expand...

I have not seen the pictures yet, she said that sometimes the orbs can be tied to negative energy. Mostly what she has found has been positive. I don't know if it was color related or what, but I really think this is something that I want to know more about. I guess I should quit my job and begin a quest for knowledge. Working takes up too much of my time, too bad I cannot get paid to be a student of life!

At this same place I received two boxes of rocks....
So, they are not all "rocks" per se. Some are crystals, others are, well, other things lol.
Click to expand...

Wow! I'd love to get a box of rocks like that some day. Very cool. :)
 
I think your rocks are worth more than the cards. I'm guessing from your picture over $200 if you sell to a reseller.

I'd take them to a new age shop or if there is a rock hound shop and see what they say. You won't get list, but if they give you 30 to 35 percent of what they sell them for, I'd say that's fair for. Ebay would probably provide you with collectors to buy direct, so you can double whatever a local shop offers you easily.

Lucky find.

I am keeping some, while getting rid of others. I was so excited.. I have been a rocker for a long time. Always on the hunt for agates!

Lucky discard. The lady with the tarot cards gave them to me.

Score!

It is amazing some of the things I have found and received. I will share more pictures as time goes on.
 
My witchy senses are tingling! lol

Great collection. I see quite a few pieces of quartz and jasper, and a really nice pendulum in there. :D

Heading to the local rock shop to unload the geodesic crystals agates and well, rocks. Fingers crossed !!
 
different decks so many but only slight variations of the names and meanings.

sleep with the deck you would like to use til it becomes one with you.
