VARIATIONS
last update 3/10/2007
This section will be used for the publication of short articles -with lots of pictures of course- that describe a comparison of similar decks. The articles sprang to mind, whenever we had discovered discrepancies or unwanted similarities in the decks that we have added to our collection. So sometimes the articles will have a critical undertone. At this moment there are 5 articles:
| 1/ | Carta Mundi's
Millennium Mess. There were 3 subsequent versions needed to get the Carta Mundi Millennium deck right. Not one of the publications that Carta Mundi will be proud of. |
|
| 2/ | St. Louis
Girls Play A Cheap Trick. We compared 3 early photographic pinup decks from St. Louis, USA, and 1 turns out to be a cheap trick. |
|
| 3/ | An Indian Copy. We thought we had all the variations of a German Pin Up deck, but then found a new one.....from India. |
|
|
4/ |
Minimal changes in a
beautiful deck We have searched for the second version of the Cassandre deck, published by Hermes, for over 2 years. When we had finally found it, another version popped up within a fortnight. |
|
|
5/ |
The
improved Air Marin deck A slightly repaired, but mostly improved version of this deck was found. |
|
As soon as we encounter new oddities, we'll add short articles to this section.
