Rare Crowley Thoth Tarot Deck - Samuel Weiser White Box B (Early 1970s)
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:851256 |
This is the very rare Samuel Weiser White Box B variant of the Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot Deck, illustrated by Frieda Harris. The deck is not dated, but online sources place its publication date between 1969 (Stuart Kaplan, Encyclopedia of Tarot) and 1973 (Weiser Antiquarian Books listing).
This is the original 78 card deck, complete with the OTO informational card, and did not come with instructions (unlike later printings from other publishers). The outer and inner boxes ...are somewhat scuffed and show some discoloration. The cards are in really nice condition with the exception of several (10 on the back of cards) that have what seems to me to be areas where tape may have been applied and removed. That's the only way to describe it. It doesn't affect the integrity of the card. There are also minor scuffles on the cards too due to age I am sure. I have tried to photograph the imperfections, but you will have to blow the pictures up and check it out. The cards do not have any bent corners or anything else wrong with them. They appear to me to have never been shuffled. All the cards are present and accounted for!Please see photos and please ask any questions. I will be happy to answer any. I have owned these cards for about 15 years. I just never bonded with this deck, lol. Thanks for looking!
