I have noticed that, what one might call 'classic' tarots, that is, those produced from the 1960s to the end of the 20th century, do not seem to be so enthusiastically sought after by the new generation of collectors.
When I was building my collection, I wanted to possess as many of the decks from this period as possible, but I'm not sure that collectors nowadays are so enamoured of this period of tarot production.
In the last five or so years, there has been an explosion of new tarots. This is probably due to the improvement in methods of production. I do admire those tarot artists in the 80s and 90s who tried to find ways of printing tarot. Most of their efforts were idiosyncratic but endearing.
Nowadays, everything seems so well printed and packaged. I like the individuality of self-published handmade tarots. My own publications fall under that description.
