Vicky is a researcher and collector dedicated to the preservation of historical tarot and occult cards. He has been interested in the tarot for many years and collects across many printers and countries to document the breadth of traditions rather than a single school. His work records makers and workshop practices, printing and colouring techniques, backs and stamps, and paper and finish details, providing evidence for reliable attribution and dating. Through careful cataloguing and conservation-minded handling, he seeks to safeguard the material record for future generations and to support scholars, curators and fellow collectors with clear, verifiable descriptions. He is honoured to serve as a custodian of these artefacts and to document them responsibly. Selected rare lines in his collection include Conver Marseille, Keusters of Rouen and Brussels, Del Pieve Minchiate, Gumppenberg Soprafino, Marseille Type II by Bourlion, the Knapp Hall tarot, and Kitchner.
