T<\/span>arot Productions, Inc. made a “first to the public” boxed set of tarot trumps only in regular and giant size<\/a>. The regular-sized version (shown on this page) came with an ivory-colored covered LWB that was blatantly stolen from University Books, Inc<\/a>. but\u00a0this specific edition did not have the full deck of cards listed, so in a way it was like sampling a song (without paying royalties) instead of just making an exact cover of it for your own album. An interesting point\u00a0that needs resolving is the variation in boxes<\/a>\u00a0Tarot Productions put out. Some boxes state that they come with a fully illustrated book while others declare they do not, and box color-specific\u00a0tape is sometimes pasted over these words.\u00a0In any case however, Frankie Albano brought us a convenient study or European-style divination tool that fit easily into purse or pocket. Images are below.<\/p>\n

By all rights this looks like a 22-card version of the full 78 card deck put out by Tarot Productions. None of the colors are changed and the only noticeable difference is the LWB (in goldenrod<\/em>), which has information specifically tailored to a 22-card deck. The cards themselves differ in no way from the standard deck.<\/a><\/p>\n
