📖 Historic Context & Comparison

- 1969 Green Box Edition: the first Grimaud reprint of the 1930 deck. Thinner, more flexible card stock, simpler French booklet. Highly valued as the first revival edition after decades of absence.

- 1981 Brown Box Edition: thicker, more durable cards designed for heavy use. Comes with the expanded booklet by Tchalaï, offering richer interpretations. Appreciated by professional readers and collectors for its deluxe quality.

Both editions are rare:

- Green Box (1969) is prized for its historical importance,

- Brown Box (1981) is loved for its durability and professional feel.

✨ A must-have for serious collectors and practitioners of the Tarot de Marseille.
