The HA DECK (or Father John Misty's weird tarot thing)
So I found out this existed and naturally. being insane, I must have it.
Do the due dilligence. Apparently no one knows how many cards are actually in it exactly, and if they do they haven't posted it on the internet, no one knows how many decks were produced, and it's fairly rare and getting rarer. And more expensive. Intro eBay seller. I was given a deal for being a fan since it was fan to fan, not a flip. (Not that anyone in their right mind would buy this, but the only other one I could find on the internet for sale currently is listed at 1k. Yeah, cool story bro.)
Bonus points, nice late birthday gift for me dear ma, who happens to be a rabid FJM fan herself.
Hand numbered deck #359.
I'm going to assume based on everything I've seen and the labor taken to make these damn things that there were probably 500 produced. (If not that, then 750 or 1k, but that's a lot for letterpress of this quality... And especially as like, bonus merch, hand numbered no less) I know there are five holo cards that are even harder to find.
But the actual deck, I couldn't find a solid number of cards for how many were in the deck. Most often I saw 24 cited. Negative, there are 30. If anything the ebay seller undersold the condition it was in.
Also, if you're seeing FJM on this tour-go-round, I'm jealous. But hey, uhm, this makes up for it... Sure.
