Very happy

I was so excited to receive my deck today. Yes, the card quality may not be the greatest, but it still does a fantastic job at giving concise messages. I had been using a mini German version which I love, but wanted a bigger tarot in English and found this for such a reasonable price. I’m very happy with my purchase and plan to use it every day :)

Worth Considering

(Updated 12/12/2022 - Original Image Uploaded showed the wrong card for a PAM-C Sun) The stock and general feel of the cards are good. However. This is a reprint of the PAM-B deck version of the deck and NOT the 1909 original. The original Rider-Waite Deck print run was from December 1909 until April 1910. This original print had a roses and lilies back, and is the earliest version of the deck. Up until around 1940, there were four different prints of the deck. Named. PAM-A, PAM-B, PAM-C, PAM-D. PAM-A April 1910 until approx. 1920. PAM-B 1931 until approx.1940. PAM-C Approx 1920 until 1928. PAM-D 1920 - 1931. As you can see there was an overlap in print runs, and the exact order cannot be determined. However PAM-B, was not the first, and it was the worst of these. The reasons for it being considered the worst, are the poor colour, notably problems with the colour blue. And the poor and sometimes incomplete engraving. Famously the plate for the Sun, was never finished. Lines are missing from the cloth held by the child, the "red standard", referred to by Waite. And the sun flower on the far right lacks seeds. There are also a few other missing lines. Looking at the Fool, the problems with the colour blue can be seen. In addition, for some reason in the "Tarot Original 1909", the fool has been shrunk, and then the image stretched at the bottom to make up for the lost height. The backs of course are wrong, the original back was blue, as shown. The "Tarot Original 1909" has a similar back, that has been recoloured. I am deducting 1 star, for not being a 1909 reprint, and 1 more for being a poor PAM-B reprint. I would have been quite happy for an accurate PAM-B reprint for my collection, but with changes, possibly in error with the Fool, a changed back, and misleading advertising. I think 3 stars is very generous. I don't understand it, the appearance of the 1909 edition is well known in the Tarot community. Please can we have an accurate reprint. With the correct colours, and the correct back.
