Some years ago, I purchased a used Universal Waite deck (in the tan box with the child releasing a bird, not sure where it was printed) in a used book store, and owned it for several years. Eventually, I gifted it to my brother-in-law, who has an interest in divination.
More recently, I became interested in owning this deck again, so ordered one from a seller on eBay, who advertised using the same illustration. When the deck arrived, it was in the blue box with "The Fool" on one side, and "The Emperess" on the other (printed in Italy).
I can not SEE any problem with the cards themselves.
My question is: Is there any difference between these two decks, or are they identical except for the box. I know that some decks have been printed in various countries, and sometimes forum users comment on variations in quality (have seen this in particular regarding the Morgan Greer deck).
So...any reason to be dissatisfied? Or, perhaps I got lucky, and should be pleased?
