Rare 1930 Tarot Deck?

I have a complete tarot deck made by the german card maker Alterburger und Stralsunder Spielkarten published in 1930, made in German . It is in very good shape , no missing , torn or bent cards . The gold on the edges has mostly come off , they are slightly yellowing on edges but not bad .His trade mark is on the Ace of Diamonds .They are in the original two part box . The box is in good condition also but a little worn on edges . There is a detail picture of them on page 484 in the Encyclopedia of Tarot Vol. ll .

Can some one tell me what they are worth or how I can find out ? I am not selling them ,but would like to have an idea what they are worth .

Thanks

    I don't know what they are worth, but you could try searching on ebay, contacting the owners of Tarot Garden (www.tarotgarden.com), or maybe someone on either the Tarot-L or Comparative Tarot Yahoo Groups could help you out.

    Gilded is a posh RWS clone. it truly is no longer a themed deck if that's what you advise by using professional. Accuracy has no longer something to do with the deck, it truly is all interior the single that reads the enjoying cards. How precise are you? I even have many decks i'd desire to advise, yet my form is in all possibility diverse than yours. i'd say to think of concerning the failings outdoors of tarot which you're drawn too. Cats? get a cat deck, there are a number of obtainable. Dragons? returned, there are a number of out. choose for a topic matter- and that i wager you will hit upon a deck it somewhat is centred on that subject matter. you apart from would would desire to evaluate a manner diverse 'form' of deck. interior the international of tarot there are 3 kinds: RW - maximum decks stick to this shape, yet no longer continually the RW imagery Thoth/Golden daybreak - Crowley is a good sized ingredient in those decks. Marseilles - this could be a classic that takes you back to the decks used for gaming.
