Green tinted Thoth deck

Essence of Winter

There has been much discussion here about the BOXES these things come in. It may be an early USG in a Weiser box - and also there is considerable evidence that some newer decks have been put in old boxes by unwitting (or even very naughty, deceitful) sellers. Many people actually don't realise the significance of the box...

Essence of Winter - what EXACTLY is the box like ?

This is the Ebay listing, which shows the front and back of the box:

It looks a lot like the large US Games box with the same font and design etc.

My original greenie was more green, if I remember right, but it's probably in a police evidence locker so I will never be able to compare.

:bugeyed: How did it end up there?

I loaned it to a friend, who unfortunately got involved in some things he shouldn't have. It was very sad actually. Such a bright, creative man, but not strong enough to overcome addiction.

I am confused about Thoth editions. I thought the ones with no border on the backs were all from the OTO white boxes.

There was apparently a brief crossover. There's a thread here somewhere...

I finally located a Thoth Greenie! I wasn't expecting it to be so BIG, though. Previously, I had a recent Thoth, in the lavender box, and it was a tad smaller. Were all the older cards in the white boxes this same size? (The smaller side tuck tabs are fragile, but the cards look brand new, I am so tickled! Gotta count them all, though).

count if you like, but you'd be better served by ordering the deck.
Usually if there is a card missing there is also an extra card.

My greenie is super special to me. Enjoy!

? I DID order the deck, it arrived yesterday. (I meant, I need to count/take inventory, to make sure all the cards are there, as it was a "used" deck...of course, cards can be missing in new decks, too. I left GREAT feedback for the seller, they packaged it GREAT!).

I just wasn't expecting it to be so LARGE! <GRIN>

I believe AJ is referring to putting the deck in order. :) If you count and find 78 cards, all you know is there are 78 cards. Whereas you might have one missing, and one duplicate...
