View source for Fan Tarot Deck

The Fan Tarot Deck (also called the '''Fantasy Showcase Tarot Deck''') was a long-time project of [[Bruce Pelz's]] which he brought to completion with the help of [[Noreascon Two]] as part of his [[Fan GoHship]] at it.  The complete set of original art (as well as printed decks for sale) were displayed there.

It started in the 1960s when [[Don Simpson]] persuaded Pelz to buy a Steuben Glass goblet with the promise to engrave something of Pelz's choice on it. He eventually decided he wanted an engraving of the tower tarot card, which Simpson did. Pelz then developed the ambition of acquiring an entire tarot deck engraved on fine glass goblets, but Steuben forestalled him by taking that design out of production.  So he decided on a more conventional card deck, but with each card done by a different [[fan artist]]. He started soliciting art before [[St. Louiscon]] in 1969.
