Which edition would you say is the best on the market? Or if oop which is the best edition to look out for on eBay?
Thank you
Thank you
Of the OOP ones, I love (and I know gregory doesn't) the pocket Urania/Konigsfurt gold box German titles one which disappeared off the market rather mysteriously. Such exquisite, pastel colours - all the delicate gradations and subtle watercolour washes of Frieda Harris' art. Not at all saturated but I just love it.
I look forward to the answers to this myself!
Do you know what size Thoth deck you'd like, OP? That might narrow it down.
I personally like the regular-old purple box Thoth--the "small," but not "pocket Swiss," size. Any AGMuller printing is lovely for me.
I only have that and the modern Green box copy (NOT a Greenie; just any old modern large size deck), but I will say that these work beautifully for me. I hope you find your ideal copy
Me too - it is my favourite - and the standard size one I got around the same time has the same stunning colouring.I also have a soft spot for a large 3-Magus 1986 AG Muller one which I bought from an amazon seller and really never expected to get one of that vintage. The blues are gorgeous but I only have one copy and (oh the shame) I find it hard to regularly use decks I only have one copy of.
Indeed gregory doesn't. I mean - it's beautifully turned out and high quality and all that - but it's just so PALE ! I suspect a copyright fight again, sadly. But you can get it from the Konigsfurt /Urania site:Of the OOP ones, I love (and I know gregory doesn't) the pocket Urania/Konigsfurt gold box German titles one which disappeared off the market rather mysteriously.

You CAN still get it, clos See above. Now that I have looked I don't know why Leffy says it disappeared... I had heard this but never bothered to check.It did?? Is this the new "laser printed" fancy schmancy one, OTO approved and all? That's a shame, I was debating with myself whether to get it despite the German titles. After so many years of it being in the works, I wonder what happened.
Every print of everything out there varies. I have even bought two copies of postcards on the same day in the same museum with startlingly different colourings. But I DO like my Foff BRIGHT !I have absolutely no idea, this will be my first experience of Thoth. I just know I have read old threads where people have been disappointed with colouring.
You'll get a nice one, don't worry - though beware of the older borderless-backs ones - their colouring is very patchy.Again I am unaware of these issues, I literally need a lesson in Thoth of every known deck listed and rated 'yellow =okay, green =good and red=bad. That's how new I am I'm afraid.
Thank you. I may end up taking a but if a risk on it and hopefully order a decent deck.
I don't want one too big for my hands to shuffle I know that much. And I dont like muddy colours. So hoping for great card stock, lovely colours and nice size.
.My gosh I just asked my mum to bid on eBay for me and I got the whole ' Crowley was evil, a Satanist, summoned demons, practiced black arts and you shouldn't bring that deck into a shared home' rant. My goodness, I tried to say you know other people feel differently, failed on that then tried to reason but failed there too
Ah well my mum may never change her thoughts on it..
My mum wasn't too keen either at first. She then complained of dropping off to sleep and having a Devil's face with two long curly horns suddenly appear close up to her face giving her a fright [emoji23]
She is ok with it now though Hope your mum comes round. We did talk about how he seemed infamous at the time, very sensationalist press etc.
