The Fantasy Showcase Tarot Deck (also called the Fan Tarot Deck) was a longtime 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.
