Nine national galleries

The first link for each insitution takes you to a Google search page, where the hits should be interesting, and further, the words in the search box can be adjusted to narrow to the specific thing you are looking for. So for example clicking on the first link takes you to a Google search page for:
inurl:commons.wikimedia.org tarot
Add "temperance" to the search box and search again, and the second result is the Temperance from the "Charles VI" deck.

Nederland
Geheugen van Nederland - claims "Hundreds of thousands of beautiful images of artwork, photography and design from more than 100 Dutch museums, archives and libraries." But in fact, not much. The site's own search function is best
http://www.geheugenvannederland.nl/nl/g ... =kaartspel
Koninklijke Bibliotheek - the national library; they have books
Rijksmuseum - the national art museum: lots of engravings of card players
https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nl/zoeken?q= ... =&ii=0&p=1

Now we come to the four countries which should have been the best, but they have the least online (that I found).

España
Biblioteca Nacional de España has nothing online
Spain has the Museo Fournier de Naipes de Álava, but it has nothing online

Confoederatio Helvetica
Landesmuseum Zürich : nothing online
Kunsthaus Zürich, books. Try spielkarten Very little found

Deutchland

Deutchland has the Spielkartenmuseum in Leinfelden but this has not even a website

Italia

===================
That's all I've found in official online sources.

And the other smaller portion of the PMB, in Bergamo's (Italy) Accademia Carrara:
https://www.lacarrara.it/en/?s=Bembo+Bonifacio+

Only one of the three PMB trumps is popping up on-line there (but there is a painting by Bembo you can view); at least the place is apparently open again after a long building rehab (I guess I'm still bitter after having shown up there some 8 years ago and the museum was completely gutted - the art stored away - with no on-line notice about that; but Bergamo is a beautiful place to visit regardless).
