I recently became aware of fake Evelyn Nicod (purposefully misspelled) Tarot decks that appear to be older B&W versions of my friend Rodolfo's wife Evelyne Nicod's Italian Cats decks on eBay and other places. It turns out after a little investigation and speaking with Rodolfo that OSVALDO MENEGAZZI stole the artwork and sold it to US Game Systems in the US, and they printed and sold it - likely in good faith with no mal-intent.
The cards are showing up on eBay and likely other places and it's not the first time I have seen them. I have RtR (Right to Represent) Evelyne and Rodolfo here, and have filed a DMCA IP takedown with US Games. Beware that these are always forgeries and not even a good copy, and of course illegal to sell once you have been served with a Cease and Desist order in the US.
I'll post more later. Just don't get taken while I pursue this.
