This collection of modern tarot decks was organized by Adam McLean, a well known researcher into alchemy, expert in emblematic symbolism, and accomplished artist. As of December 2010, this collection contained 2124 items.
I find this collection interesting because I have always been interested in tarot cards and their meaning. Another thing I found to be interesting is how difficult it is to study modern tarot since they are not collected by libraries. There is no way to see them except by purchasing copies. McLean's collection is now one of the largest most comprehensive collections of modern tarot.
If I were to describe the collector, Adam McLean, based on the fact that he collects tarot decks and is an artist, I would say he is probably a little eccentric. He probably has a very deep or dark side to him, since tarot cards are used to dig deep into someone's personal life and can bring out secrets. McLean may also be a bit extracted from society, as many serious artists tend to be.
This large collection can be categorized in many different ways. It can be organized by date, size, or country. It can also be organized by the type of tarot deck it is, such as high art tarots, mass market tarots, self published works, and gift and promotional tarots.
