Does anyone have a copy of the limited edition Rigel Press Royal Moroccan Fez tarot?
I have two versions, one of which (144/500) has a yellow label on the front of the box and irregular card sizes in the deck. The major arcana and the court cards are slightly smaller than the pips. Everything is the same about the label, except the coloring and that it has no publication year at the bottom.
I have a second, "PROOF" copy, which looks to be more like the other two copies I have seen with a pink label on the front and regular card sizes. The label is exactly like the others I have seen, except that it does have the year "1970" at the bottom.
Right now, deck 242 is available on abebooks.com (without 1970) and deck 437 (with 1970) is available on ebay. I'm wondering if anyone has a copy of this deck for comparison purposes.
Were there two or three printings of the "limited edition" 500 copies? Why would some have 1970 on them and some not? Why does one copy have a yellow label and the others pink while the year is on the bottom of some and not the others?
Stuart Kaplan's Encyclopedia of Tarot doesn't appear to clarify.
Anyone know the story?
