this is my first deck and am not sure if all decks should be hard paper, but this deck certainly feels hardback (it's not bendable easy) but that's good because it prevents the cards from bending an d looking ugly. the colors are SOO BEAUTIFUL!! they are so beautifully printed, amazing quality and are soo just gorgeous. i was hesitant cuz the other reviews showed misprints and while it was being delivered i was thinking on maybe cancelling based off the negative reviews. but i kinda went with my gut and all and am happy i did cuz it's an amazing deck and so so good to feel. such high quality for the price. ORDER IT!!!

It's important to consider what you're paying for. Since this deck is a reproduction, it's obviously not going to have amazing quality artwork, it looks like a reproduction and the colouring shows that very clearly in the silly blurs on the faces and in small details etc. However, most mass-produced decks will be like that. The quality of the cardstock is great, and the overall appearance is lovely. The guidebook is very nice considering that it's bound and has a cover, unlike a lot of the mini guidebooks you get with a deck like this.

I like everything about this tarot deck! Everything in the description is 100% spot on. The cards are beautifully designed and produced with great color and clarity. They are high quality, sturdy, and easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone who cares about quality. I am a tarot reader and combine my readings with pendulum dowsing for greater accuracy at"Pendulum Dowsing and Tarot Reading with Lyman Holton."I am a very satisfied customer and would definitely buy these cards again, and again.

I've been using Ryder-Wait since 1981, and though I often go to other decks, I always come back. ?With early decks the plastic coating would wear off and you would be shuffling paper. Later decks felt like solid pieces of plastic. ?This deck has a wonderful feel and texture and the images are bright and clear. ?For those new to Tarot, the book to help you interpret that comes with it is full color and far improved over the tiny booklet you used to get in a Ryder-Wait pack. ?Recommended.

For anyone looking for a good, easy-to-understand tarot deck for learning, practice, or for any level of application, this is a great set of cards. The booklet is concise, practical, and practicable, and the cards themselves are of exceptional quality. Even though the use is very much tied to the intuition and sensitivity of the reader and the receptivity of the querent getting the reading, I can say that from the first card I turned, this set has been perfect for my purposes so far.

It doesn't make sense, but this is cheaper than the U.S. Playing Cards produced cards, while being MUCH better quality. The deck is made of excellent card stock, at least 50% thicker than the U.S. Playing Cards"plaid backed"cards. The colors actually have tones and shades rather than the solid tones of the plaid backed cards and the major archana have the original titles drawn as per"pixie", rather than some plain font. I would buy these cards again at twice the price.

I like the size, colors, thickness, and the a'Feel of thema'... The mini guide book with full-color drawings is very useful too and is cool it comes with the deck, is my first deck, and the kit of book and cars and makes it easier. if you want to learn faster check a youtube video I found called: a'tarot 101: learn all 78 tarot cards in less than 2 hoursa' - CONCLUSION? cool deck, decent material, full color, and a mini-book that helps understand. Recommended 100%

This is not an a'officiala' deck. Meaning it isna't made by the rightful copyright holders, US Games or AGM. But.. they are a RWS tarot deck nonetheless!They have a matte, linen texture that shuffles really easily, for me. The pictures are crisp and clean, nice colorings. The box seems sturdy and should last of you storm them in it. Would be a wonderful first deck for someone, just pick a a'Tarot basicsa' book to go with it and the recipient would be set!

I absolutely love this deck! ?Easily my favorite rws deck at the moment, ?The card stock is sturdy and excellent the backs are simple and clean but not my fave tbh, Ia'd ?much rather it have the classic plaid backs or something similar but I digress, as for the images themselves they are absolutely beautiful I couldna't be happier they summon up that timeless spooky feeling that only the bold colors and strong line work of the rws can bring
