Discolored Cosmic Tarot

FaintlyMacabre

I dug out some decks to try to find one that would fit in a bag (backwards approach, I realize) and we were looking through Norbert Losche's Cosmic Tarot trying to spot the stars.

This was one of my earlier decks but I've always been careful about how I've handled them and I never used it a great deal. It is yellowed all around the edges into the white border and looks slightly grubby as a result. This says printed in Switzerland, U.S. Games ... and is an AG Mueller deck.

Is the current deck the same thing? If so, I would just buy another one. I compared it with the Herbal Tarot which is likely around the same age and it doesn't show this yellowing so it must be something to do with the Cosmic.

(Everybody starts to look like an old movie star.)

I just bought a new one a month ago, and it was fine. Have no idea how it will age, though.

Thank you. It seems to be impossible to tell if the card stock, etc., is the same from the listings. If it lasts as long as the other one, I should be good.

The yellowing is quite even. Maybe it's the box.
