Hello OnePotatoe and all,
You said:
"I am curious as to whether decks were assembled from cards of the same sheets? Or were piles of each card made after cutting, so that decks were made up of cards that came from various random sheets".
I thinks that second option is more efficient in term of timetable, speed, planification.
If decks are made up of cards from various random sheets (second option so,) this explain why on same deck you have either ghosted images or clean images.
If I remenber well you will find all the process explained and drawed by D'Allembert Encyclopedie prints demonstrated on Jean Claude Flornoy Web site: Very educative. I have them too and it explains well printing process and decks constitution by selection of cards.
As I previously wrote many decks have this ghost images (i.e Pierre MadeniƩ deck) and this is very precious to clarify exact design of drawing lines.
Best,
