I bought the original rider waite tarot pack at amazon.com. But it doesn't look so original. The color of the background is green instead of blue.... Does anybody here bought it too?

Hi Marcos, I have heard a few people complain of this when they went to renew their decks. The original printing of the original Rider Waite had the blue English Rose on the back, and that is the one that is shown on sale at Amazon.com. There have been many reprints since the deck first came out in 1910, and the cards have slowly changed in small details. If you are not happy why not return them? But I would think that if the pictures are correct, the back is of lesser importance?
