Grimaud TDM current printing queston

[Freddie]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone here could answer this question. I have seen two scans of current full size TDM Grimaud decks (with traditional blue backs) with two different copyrights. One says GRIMAUD 1963 the other says GRIMAUD PARIS 1963. Any one know the difference? They both have French only titles.



Thanks,

Freddie

Hi Freddie

This is the best thread for identifying Grimaud decks so I would suggest reading through this first:

Tarot de Marseille - Marteau Grimaud, informations for collectors

If you still can't find the answer then coredil might be able to help.

At the above site it would seem that there are two different prints of full size decks (as well as mini). I bought a new French titles deck (12cm long) with the old standby pale blue & white backs from R. Sommerville..love that place..bought it for a steal of a price to boot. I wonder what the printing difference is...backs?

I lost my original, but the new ones look good on the net and the card stock should be more flexible. I somehow remember the older decks longer than 12cm. It seems harder to find in French only so I went with new.

Thanks for the great thread link!!!!
