Original Conver sold on ebay

Interesting "deck" (missing some cards, and combined from at least 2 different sources with different card backs)

edit - I am not the buyer or seller of this deck.

It would be interesting to know if the deck is really what the seller claims. If so, that would be an impressive piece to own.

I believe the seller is World of Playing Cards in the UK. They are a very legit operation and a trusted source of historical tarot scans and articles from what I can see.

it's a Camoin-Conver...

Hi Thinbuddha,
Thanks for mentionning the sale.
As far as I can judge these cards are from two so-called Camoin-Conver decks. They are well known for their typical red and blue backs. An original Conver would get a much higher price (like over 10.000 euro and more).
On tarotpedia there's some usefull info about the different Conver editions and ‘recreations’ going around : http://www.tarotpedia.com/wiki/Conver
And in this post Kenji made a list of known original Convers:

Thanks for the information. I understood that it wasn't an early edition (from the time of Conver) but one of the later editions printed with his blocks. I didn't even think about how a later printing should be labeled.
