Following on from Roppo's post in the 'Green Sheaf' thread, about US Games publishing the Pamela Coleman Smith commemorative deck...
I decided to email US Games, and say that I wished it were possible for them to put a nice card back on this deck, because although I love the RWS I've never been keen on the back. (I actually detest that black and blue tartan plaid so badly I can't use the pocket or extra-large versions... shudder!!!)... and those blue lilles- well. Bearable at best, but not great.
I said I hoped that they might try and do something utilising Pamela's own artwork, and that would do justice to the cards themselves... and I was totally gobsmacked to receive a reply from them within 24 hours!
It seems that the back is going to be a sort of aquamarine, with an image of the Tudor rose from the death card... in the top right and lower left corners are images of Pamela's signature.
Just thought I'd let everyone know about this- (so now have another deck to add to my wish list. )
