Thank you for the tips. Yes, and I know the Engel is also not cheap, cause I asked about that one, myself. Thus they remain on my list, not on my shelf.
Sommerville has *both* the Masonic and l'Oracle? I knew about the oracle, I was going to be saving up to order that one. Now I guess I will have to saving up a bit more. Thank you both so much for that information.
For the most part I've had good experiences with Somerville, but several decks I've ordered from there turned out to be not what I was expecting. They were newer printings and had changes of one kind or another- card stock, image quality, finish, etc. This was done by the manufacturers and I can't really criticize Roderick for it. To his credit he sometimes mentions in the description if the cards he currently has are different from what is shown, but I'm sure there are too many to keep track of.
Roddy will ALWAYS answer questions by e-mail if you have any doubts at all. Just thought I would mention it, as he is my FRIEND - and I do mean in real life !
