Does anyone know anything about this card? I found this picture in a Lovecraft forum but no one knew much about where it came from.

No idea what it is, but I did try finding it during my lunch break today on my phone. And now, 7 hours later, I open the YouTube app on my roku at home, and there's a video about Lovecraft in my recommended videos section. That's real creepy.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Well, Lovecraft was creepy for his time and is timeless so.....

Actually, now I am wondering about this set. I like this card

I do all my google searches in the incognito mode in my browser simply for that reason.

I think it's from one of the Lovecraft tarot decks, just not sure which one specifically.

That appears to be what is it. I didn't think to search on tarot decks.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Lovecraft/comments/k6ofzv/the_horrors_of_hp_lovecraft_deck/

Per that discussion, they are doing a 3rd printing of this deck but no mention of where to purchase it. The rest of the cards look even cooler than that one I originally found the picture of.

Good find! This one was kind of bugging me. I thought it was going to end up being identified as part to the CCG "Call of Cthulhu". I spent some time going through those cards looking for something close, some had similar themes.

Now I know why there was nothing exact. I'm not into tarrot cards but I do like the art on that set.

My two-cents is worth slightly more than a penny.
