Curio & Co. Tarot Deck - see it first at SDCC

About the back of the cards of the Curio & Co. tarot deck. In the spirit of reproducing a fictional 1700's tarot card deck, each card will show independent ware of its back. Each card will be unique in front as well as back.

Because they are intended to be collectable the cards will also be printed on acid free paper and will be produced in a small quantity, we are deciding on the quantity right now but we know for sure that it will be below 500 sets.

A couple of days back we got the proofs for the cards… and we picked the set-up and color of the back of the card.

Here are a couple more cards that got colored since the last post… Some of the cards underwent some design changes during the coloring process ie the The Tower and The Stars.  If you compare the images to the ones of the prior posts you can see the difference.
