US not Hong Kong

Sorry it is marked, "U.S." not Hong Kong.

And I did finally find my way to the Tarotgarden.

And I did finally find my way to the Tarotgarden.

Oh :( ... Oh well; I don't really NEED another Thoth. I have no idea how many I have acquired, not least in my search for one as green as the greenie I got with a card missing....

ISBN: From box: 0-88079-308-2 (LWB: same)

Notes: The cards are rich and dark. This is the deck I fell in love with. My deck bought around 2001 is literally a sickly, pale imitation of this deck (unfortunately stolen except for the box, LBW and extra cards).

This is the exact deck I just got today from a friend. She found it (sealed) at a garage sale for 1.00. Steal? Not a steal, but a good buy?

I am waffling about using the deck, as I do have other editions, including my lovely lavender edged AG Mueller, and a white box greenie. And a few others... But I really like the look of the pale grey edges, and the deck is so vibrant and rich. it's tempting....


NO ISBN on the box, it's on the inside booklet.
