Do you know what...
Just to confuse the issue.
There is currently an old 'white box c' type deck (large size, borderless backs, red and black hex) on ebay in a green 2 of discs box...
I believe that some were originally sold like this, though I have no details on it, but it's not the first I have seen.
Also I believe that in the early 2000's there were some of the new style decks sold in white boxes.
Confused?
You will be!
Well, I unsealed my deck and looked at the cards. All present and correct (small printing flaw on the 7 discs, but never mind). Hex card in red and black, OTO with copyright on, and that wicked white card that scares me so much
It is not as green as my later one. The borders have slight variations in the greenness, but generally a grey/green. The fool, the top card visible through the plastic is one of the greenest.
The pictures do not have as much of the greenish cast that my later deck has.
And do you know what, this is the deck I have been looking for!
This is the deck that sits in my mind and my memory.
This is the deck that I had and used for a decade and then destroyed.
I can stop looking now.
