Nevermore
I was surfing on ebay, interested in getting an older Thoth. I can't remember where but I heard that the older ones are stronger. I also rather like the green borders instead of the whitish grey and the lack of the white strip around the card backs.
I've trimmed my small and have a mini Thoth, by the way. When I first shuffled the mini it felt right and I think the same cardstock was used on the small, just on a larger scale so the small felt thinner. When I trimmed the small it seemed stronger. I have great trouble shuffling as I have small hands (even the Victorian Romantic can be hard). But I like the idea of owning someone's old deck and having a nice cup of tea and laying out cards on a table and just learning and studying patterns.
Anyway, on eBay, most older pre green box ones are going for a lot and are starting some crazy bidding, but I found one that no one seems to be bidding on, that's going for cheap, too. I talked to the seller who gave me the ISBN - "0-913866-15-6" and I did some searching on AT and is the deck with that ISBN is supposed to have a real greenish cast to it if I'm right.
I think this is a green box version. While I'd love to have a green border from a white box I think this deck has the problem of a real greenish cast...am I right?
