Check Out This [Almost Complete] Rare Tarot Deck From 1973!

A few years ago, I acquired this fantastic tarot deck at an estate sale. To my delight, the deck is nearly complete and in pristine condition; only missing one card! These decks are fairly rare and hardly ever found complete. That does mean on occasion, people will sell individual cards from decks they find. I really have no intent to sell the deck complete or incomplete; I lots of things and one of them is a collector! And this one makes a great edition to mine. Also, this deck included blank spare cards, so if I cannot hunt down an individual card from another incomplete deck, I may take a whack at illustrating a replacement, since I have been able to find what the card looks like.

This is a tarot deck created in 1973 from a now defunct manufacturer called, The Hoi Polloi, Inc. company. Here’s a link to a fantastic blog post I found that gave me a lot of information about this particular deck, although their sample photos look slightly different than what I have. No need for me to rehash this thorough investigation, check it out for yourself!

You can scroll through the Major Arcana, take a peek at the handwritten notes that were still in the box, and at the end of this blog post, there’s a link to a .pdf version of the guidebook. I hope you enjoy taking a look at this deck as much as I do!

And here were some notes left within the box:
