This deck of tarot cards is interesting. First deck I've had made of pvc. I agree with others that the material makes the cards slippery to shuffle and otherwise use, but it doesn't come as a surprise. I got the gold rimless, and they are beautiful. I only have two reservations. First, the cards have a chemical odor, the pvc again, I'm sure. Don't know whether time will dissipate the smell, but something to consider when buying. Also, anyone who knows tarot collectors--all collectors, really--understands that presentation (box, books or pamphets, and all included materials) should be perfect, professional. The cards came with a perfunctory paper booklet, and the cardboard box was mashed on one outer corner. The damage could have happened in shipping, of course, but it was also poorly made, difficult to open and close. Not worthy of cards that cost over 40 bucks. Anyway, given those caveats, I do like the cards themselves.
