New Backs on the Witchy Tarot

So I have a deep-seated love for the Witchy Tarot by Antonella Platano. An all-consuming, inexplicable, perfect love. A few years back I saw this blog post about trimming a Witchy Tarot and using its cards for a Lenormand - http://bit.ly/1LcxEXq. A capital idea - I had very different ideas about which card should go where but that's not the point.

This week I received my fourth copy of the deck and lo and behold, the backs which on my three previous versions featured four copies of the Three of Boulders artwork as seen here: http://bit.ly/1NhehDb, but the new one had a simple dark purple back with a large blue pentagram on it.

Joy!

Rapture!

And, when trimmed down to just the image, the pentacle still fit within the back of the card. I'll post an image this evening. I never loved the old four-copies-of-one-card back that Lo Scarabeo did in the past, are a lot of the more popular Lo Scarabeo decks getting a back image makeover?

Is this something that constitutes a new edition for you collector types?

For me, a new back counts as a new edition.

I know how much you love that deck so I'm surprised this is only your fourth copy....

And I don't even have a mini version yet! My collecting sins are grievous.

I know, for me it counts as another edition.

If I buy a back up of a deck and it comes with a different back aaaaargh! - it defeats the object because it isn't a back up. I then have to get a back up of the intended back up.

I have noticed that a few LoS decks have been given cardback makeovers recently. I have seen different backs to the Art Nouveau. Plus I believe that the Ancient Italian has different backs, and (it seems) the Sorcerers too.
