Got this to gift my sister for her birthday since she's beginning to get into tarot card readings. She uses it a lot and the deck still hasn't worn so its good quality from what I'm seeing. The reason I gave it four out of five stars is because it came two days late so it annoyingly was a late birthday gift, but she ended up really liking it and thats all I really cared about.
This is a terrific deck. ?The images are crisp.. yes they are actually crisp like the description suggests.. maybe the sharpest images in the Rider Waite catalog.. ?The card stock is a little grainy but very pleasant, similar to typical deck of playing cards. ?This may be my favorite reproduction of a Rider Waite deck as it seems to have been done with care. ?Ia'm impressed.
I was drawn to this deck for the original artwork among other inspirations and was pleasantly surprised when they arrived even more beautiful than described, in my opinion. They are crisp, clear images and have a pleasing texture. The image and color on the back of the cards is also very pleasing to the eye and touch. ?They are also a good manageable size.
Ita's a Rider Waite Smith deck, and that is always a plus for me. The colors are not the best but I do like the linen look to them, the card stock not the greatest. I dona't use this deck too often but I do reach for it every now and then. I find that, like with all my decks the messages come regardless of how I feel about the look or card quality.
I love this deck sooo much! Everything about it, even the way it smells reminiscent of a new book. Super accurate. It is making me pick back up doing readings professionally again! AND DID I MENTION HOW ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! The cards fold BUT DO NOT BEND!!! THEY REMAIN LOOKING NEW!!!! and indeed waterproof!!! DONT HESITATE GET EM!!!
I love the way they look they are stunningly beautiful but they are so slick that when you shuffle they go all over the darn place. I am getting it down and figured with time I would. So don't let that detour you from buying because they are durable and will last a very long time if not a lifetime. These have become my go-to deck????
No expert here but these cards seem to be of great quality. ?They are a nice thickness with nice coloring. ?I'm sure if I used these for magical purposes they would do the job. ?If they didn't do the job it would probably be because I didn't know what I was doing. ?The booklet is nice too and includes good descriptions of the cards.
These are beautiful cards but being plastic theya're hard to hold on to especially when shuffling. The box is nice though mine was slightly damaged (in transit I believe) as it should have been shipped in a box, not a padded envelope. I have gotten used to shuffling them for the most part, but I have dropped them a few times anyway.
I love this deck! I'm a beginner so this is perfect, it's the original version which makes it easier for one to learn. Only thing is, I thought they were gonna be thicker (these cards are thin). Also, it was a little booklet that is very helpful with the meanings of everything card, how to throw it a certain way, etc. Very nice!
I'm a Card Collector and I own over 200 decks. I have every version of the rider deck all the way back to the 1959 University cards. These are by far the best feeling easiest to shuffle cards I've ever laid my hands on. Besides my 1971 (an actual deck from 71) these are now my go to cards! I'm going to buy a spare just in case.
