I wish that I could scan and post images!
Today I found a Grimaud Marseille Tarot in a local antique shop. I obviously bought it; it had its own wooden box and 2 booklets of instruction.
Most of the cards (not the pips, nor certain Major Arcana) are marked 'B.P. Grimaud', but not with the 1963 date, as my other Grimaud has.
The backs are different too, not so geometrical, but a blue & white pattern with ovals.
The Magician has a green hat, and red balls on the table rather than dice.
The titles are in French.
There is no date or author on either of the accompanying booklets.
However it seems very new! It's a bit smelly (damp, old book smell), but the deck itself is immaculate & seems brand new compared to the booklets.
How can I find out more about it? I'd love to know if its older than me (I was born in 1963) ...although I doubt it!
