Hi everyone,
I've had my trusty greenie Thoth deck for twenty-plus years, and though I was aware of all of the different editions, etc. I pretty much just let it all wash by. I adore the deck but never felt the need to acquire any of the rare editions. My deck's battered and bruised and I love it to pieces.
However recently I inherited the tarot collection of fellow AT-er Zezina, which includes some pretty spectacular Thoths... and I'm not sure what to do with them. I'm still deciding whether I should hang on to them or sell them. Zezina gave me her blessing to do whatever I wanted with them, on the proviso that if I did sell them, I would sell them for what they were worth.
What would be the best first step in trying to figure out what these Thoths are worth? I know a tarot deck is "worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it", but I'm hoping I can find someone impartial who can give me a bit of advice on these decks - including whether I should keep them together, how common they are, etc.
They include
the 1969. White Box 'A'. Weiser Misprint Edition
1969. White Box 'A'. Weiser
1969. White Box 'B'. Llewellyn/Hong Kong Misprint Edition
1983 Green Box
1986 White Box 'C'.
1986 AGMuller Blue Box
1987 White Box, Standard size, 3 magi
among some of the more recent releases.
A bit of direction would be much appreciated.
edit to add: I have looked through the Tarot Garden page on the Thoths, as well as the post listing the different editions on this subforum, but am still not sure what to do with these guys...
