The question I have gotten most often over the last few years from fans of the Urban Tarot is “Where can I get my hands on a copy of the original ‘indie’ edition?” I’ve heard from lots of people who have been trying to track down a copy of the deck with my original 9/11-based “Towers” card instead of the new Tower I created for the revised mass-market edition. Other people just really wanted to get a copy of the deck that wasn’t so physically large, so they could more comfortably hold the deck in their hands and shuffle. For the most part, my response has had to be “I’m sorry, they’re not available anymore.”
I only had 1000 copies of that original deck made, which was itself a pretty massive expense for me, as I was publishing it entirely on my own. About half of them were shipped out immediately to backers of the Kickstarter. The rest I sold either personally or through a couple of small retailers. And then they were all gone. Except. I hung onto a few last copies, as gifts. I did give several of those copies away to friends and family over the years, but not quite all of them.
