I think this is the right timeline . . .
Hi goldenVI
I have spent months wrestling with this question. I have read Holly's page over and over, read up on the cards in the Encyclopedia, and even bought several decks after scouring old eBay sales for clues. I have had long discussions with a few serious MG & Aq. deck collectors, and so I "think" I have the timeline right, but even after talking to the Morgans themselves several times there is doubt.
IMHO the key is in the LWB and the boxes, as the cards did not change (unlike the Aquarian decks). I think the order listed above is the closest thing we have anywhere to correct, but I really want to see if any aqua boxes turn up with no stars and that 'Plain" font. I took a few pictures today in fact, and I will upload them just in case they help.
Oh, and to answer your question, I have to say that it seems that unlike the Aquarian decks (which have a LOT of "editions," I think the Morgans simply added borders and then removed them when people complained. I think all of the decks are technically "first editions" (except for the black bordered cards), but the BOXES and LWBs are definitely "various editions." I hope that makes sense (everyone's a winner!
Okay, I think i just creeped myself out. Here are a few of the pix I shot today . . .
