can we post our toths in a thread til we get all editions compared ?

[HOLMES]

I read the pdf posted in the purple vs green what is the difference.

and without the database samples there is no way to compare.

 

so I saw in some threads there is pictures of the reading,,so why not make a thread,, where we post the thoth we have (if that version hasn't been posted yet ).

that will be the new comparision. !

The ones that need comparisons (the ones that always get discussed as "which are which") are all in that table; newer ones are not an issue as they are easy to find.

 

Try some of the old AT threads.

I remember your asking which yours was, years ago. :) Post the images again and I'll tell you.

Did anyone ever sort out the "Greenie in a green box" kerfuffle? I got a major surprise when I ended up with what appeared to be a 78 (Green Overcast, Red Hex , Blank Card , No borders) in a very beat up green box that was dated to 2006.(I don't believe this to be the original box, as I had about 5-6 extra cards from a more modern edition mixed up with the complete 81 of the old style)  No LWB came with my used copy. but the OTO card says 78 only.

There are two issues here. One, that it seems when usg first started putting them out the remaining greenie stock ended up in their earliest green boxes; the other that a lot of sellers have no idea of the importance of this stuff - never mind the few who do, and scam,  and simply put decks in any old box. Someone on AT once got a brand new usg style one in a two part box...

Thanks Gregory!

 

I'm not holding onto it for the value or really concerned with what it's worth. Just always curious for comparison and collection standpoint. (If it is true, I wish USG had stuck with the old cardstock it's very lovely and almost satin.)

So, just to make sure I'm clear on the Thoth White Box A versus the Thoth White Box B:

 

Is the "A" the 2-part slipcase published by Llewellyn, regardless of whether it was the Hong Kong printing or the U.S.A. printing?

 

And then the "B" the 2-part slipcase Weiser edition?

 

I have found some slightly ambiguous and conflicting information over the years, and want to be sure. I have both the Llewellyn (U.S.A.) and the Weiser, but not the Llewellyn (H.K.).

Huh. And thus the mystery of my "greenie in a green box" is finally solved. Both the fact of its very existence, and that it has the best cardstock of all editions I have (and I have a few, including the latest AG Muller).

 

Mind you, there is also the fact that there are degrees of "greenery" in the Greeny Thoth. I remember gregory posting images of her Super Greeny --that thing was GREEN.

My position precisely and that is how I understand it. (I also have an extra one in silk, also with the upside down Ace disks, which MIGHT be the HK print but we shall Never Know )

It is rather. I have two like that, one incomplete, and I gave a spare card to Leffy once; he says it stands out like a sore thumb in his less green deck.

 

Here's the images from that old thread:

Thank you, dear friend! Indeed, I've read the thread that you linked to from AT, as well as the Thoth edition comparison table from TG, here: http://tarotgarden.com/blog/crowleys-thoth-tarot-edition-comparison-table/. But it's good to have independent confirmation.
