Never heard about this one 😮 Saturated yellow on the backs make no sense with this deck though 🤔 Have been waiting for decades for a desaturated RWS, but this is just weird.

Very interesting comparisons! Thank you for this as I had no idea about all the different options for the RWS Tarot decks. I’ve only been into Tarot for about 4 years now and I’ve fallen in love with reading the cards. My deck is the RWS Radiant Tarot. I love the borderless pictures, the shine of the paper and the heavy card stock.

I have 2 copies, one set is still sealed so can’t say what edition it is, the open one has a reprint starting 45.

Both decks are based on the roses & lilies ('09 print), e.g. the dolphin the king of cups is not cropped, and the shoes in the 7 of pentacles being the same color. I find it a little annoying all those decks are reproductions, with no attempt to fix little defects, like * Color bleed on the High Priestess' robe. * Remove the undulating line in the Sun card, which is due to a crack in the plate. * The hand in the ace of cups, which starts as a left hand, and warps into a right hand.

For anyone interested there is currently an Authorized re-print of this deck currently funding on Indiegogo by the creators Tarot Collectibles. Their decks are amazing, and this is a very limited re-print approved by the original JK creator 😊

A few noted: * The undulating line in the sun card is not original art. I don't recall the source at the moment, but somebody dropped a tool on the plate, which caused a crack. Making a whole new plate was a lot of work, so they extended it into the undulating line. I wish it was photoshopped out. * Later editions have tighter borders, cutting out some details. E.g. half the fish on the left side of the king of cups is gone. * Later editions have some color problems as well, e.g. the shoes of the man in the seven of pentacles are of identical color in the 1909 edition, and different shades in later editions. * Generally, the 1909 is just higher quality - finer lines and better colors overall.

Why are the deck sizes different? The US Games Centennial Edition looks bigger.
@melissazupan60266 ай бұрын
Because the US Games one uses a thicker cardstock. They’re totally different manufacturers, so they’re not going to use the same material.

Hello everyone! Has someone actually used this deck continuously? Is it lasting? I bought a deck from another printer but the edges have begun to damage/ruin after some shuffling… what a pity and a waste of money! Thanks 😊

It has been my experience that any paper deck used heavily will soon start wearing. I don’t use 1909 every day, but it is frequently in my rotation, and it is holding up very well so far.

@melissazupan602611 ай бұрын
Because I got busy. I started the channel in the pandemic when I was living alone and my job as a high school teacher pretty much went to nothing (we were told to give the students no more than 15 minutes of work a day and to suspend grades). Then I got a housemate, started two different graduate programs simultaneously, and took on three part time jobs in addition to teaching full time. And then I got cancer on top of all of those other things. I'm better now, the housemate's gone, I've jettisoned two jobs, and finished one grad program...so maybe I'll do more content here again at some point.

In 2024, if you can find an original blue or yellow deck and pay $200-$300, that's okay to do. It will continue to raise value and it also depends on what you put your money into. Many people spend $65 per week for artificial nails. Don't get your nails done and get an original tarot deck that will certainly last longer. ;). And when you sell your deck, I bet you will sell it for considerably more than you paid for. It's not like you're going to sell it for $50.

I have this deck, and am generally of the opinion that it is sort of sacreligious to trim and alter the original image. However, I LOVE the new look of the trimmed version and the pink edging, and even the tuck box you made! Excellent alteration all around. I would be tempted to do this, but my handwriting is awful, so that would be a detraction for me to see as the card designations. The other thing I kind of rely on is the additional information at the bottom of the deck. I might buy another copy of this deck to give this a try, but overall, I'm impressed. Great job!
@melissazupan6026 Жыл бұрын
Next World does make for a gorgeous trim! My handwriting is seriously nothing great…this is as neat as it gets…but I think anyone’s handwriting would look fine on the cards. They’re edgy enough that messy handwriting totally matches the vibe.

Hi, you mentioned how it didnt make sense that these french pattern (fleur de lis) could be on English cards? Why would that be though? Its not like the artwork on the rider waite has an only English/England theme. Instead the cards have a bit of different things from different cultures and religions. Take the high priestesss card: Islamic moon, Greek cross, Torah, pillars of Jerusalem, Egyptian crown

No, for some reason Reall only did a run of 30 decks. I guess it was a prototype of a later deck that came out. I think that was Pam’s Midnight or something like that. At any rate, that deck is also out. I’ve checked Reall’s website, and it’s been taken down, and her Etsy store has nothing in it. I’ve checked DriveThruCards and GameCrafter, where she had her print-on-demand’s Pam’s Original and Pam’s Vintage, and she doesn’t have that deck up on either of those. 🤷♀️
