Thank you so much for this!!!!

[@ellabyrne4417]

Thank you so much for this comparison video! I bought my first rider Waite tarot deck not knowing there was different versions! I really want to buy the rider Waite borderless edition, but I have to convince my parents as they think I have got too many 🤣

[@seeingbystarlight]

Did you get your deck in the end?

[@deelovesdave1977]

You can never have too many 😉

That was the best review of the Rider Waite decks- I really enjoyed seeing them up close side by side and have chosen my favorite. I have the Radiant Rider Waite & the moon is definitely the prettiest of all decks and my favorite is the Radiant Wise Borderless! The Hermit looks the best with the colors. That will be the deck I will do for my readings. It shows more of the scene, it's just gorgeous. Thank you!!♥

[@rachelstarotreads]

Thank you love!!!

[@adelejones9399]

This was so interesting seeing all of the different designs. I absolutely love the vintage feel of the original.. gives me 70's vibes and the original original is stunning 😍

Great vid! I really enjoyed seeing all the comparisons.... And cracked up with all the sunburned people.

I've been looking for a video comparing the Original Rider Wait deck with the Da Brigh deck for a long time. Thank you for doing that. I appreciate it. I finally see the difference between the two. You rock. 😁👍❤

[@rachelstarotreads]

Oh awesome!!! I’m glad you found what you were looking for ☺️

[@imanxious275]

i’m new to tarot and i wanted to purchase my first deck and seeing this video i instantly, and when i say instantly, i mean INSTANTLY connected to the radiant spirit tarot deck ! Lord i bought immediately after! I just never even commented but it’s been about 2 months since i bought the deck and currently working with it (: 💞💞 Thank you !!!

[@samu_el_pack]

OMG i have the borderless version!!! i am so happy

[@eliraven9259]

Thank you! My favourite is the Universal Waite!

[@joannalim7687]

I was never attracted to RW Tarot decks but the borderless edition totally captured my attention and after a very long debate, I got it. Hopefully it will be sent to me by this week,,, ordered about 3 weeks ago >

[@Mela5999]

Thank you so much. I couldn’t decide which of the multitude of versions out there that I wanted to get myself. This helped so much 😊

[@mikelee158]

Super duper helpful! Trying to decide on my first deck. I'm leaning towards the borderless version although I may get the centennial instead. Same coloring pretty much but there's borders. The borderless for me is almost right until you pay attention to how they didn't crop the image, they drew more to the picture. You can see it pretty well in the empress and the magician in particular. But anyway, thank you so much for the comparisons!

[@yeobo]

same for me, i’m stuck between the two, i really like the borderless but the shape of the card kinda bothers me and then i found the centennial and i’m now trying to decide between them both

[@libbyhicks7549]

I really enjoyed this video. I am just like you and can totally nerd out on this stuff. We should be friends. I hope you are well. ps I got the Pamela Colman Smith biography with full pictures, such a treasure if you havent seen it, find it.

Oh thank you so much!! 😍😍 I will check out that biography. It’s always nice to meet someone who loves Rider Waite decks! Nice to meet you!

[@carmmen1384]

Thanks for sharing. Love RWS videos. The Radiant Wise Spirit came in when the PCS Lo Scarabeo when OOP and the company was using the regular colors but selling like the PCS Lo Scarabeo which has awesome colors.

[@morningglory797]

As I'm quite new to the world of tarot, I have to say I'm Rider nerd too! I plan to get the copyright of rider waite one but I spend weeks deciding which edition to buy! Just because I need to make sure I get the right size with my hands and the colors that I like. I also talk to some people about this and they seem not really understand why am I so picky about this but thank you for showing I'm not the only one who is the rider nerd! Lol thank you.

[@PlayGtr]

Oh my gosh, you are the cackling moon!! I love your laugh!!! 😊

[@aliceanne3952]

You need to look more into the Albano deck. What you mentioned about it isn't true. The colorist Frank colored them according to "colorology" and symbolism, plus it has the most detailing in the print of any deck. Did you know there is an eye and bird on the fools bag? Yes, those symbols have meanings that Pamela added in there, but they were lost to the printers. After a lot of research I got my hands on a 1968 version, and I think it's the best one out there.

[@rachelstarotreads]

Oh wow! I has no idea.. I’m gonna have to bring out my deck and have a look and compare it to another one. Thank you for that insight! ♥️

[@aliceanne3952]

@@rachelstarotreads You're welcome! I always see people calling them garish, but once you start using them they are so so lovely and you don't even think about it anymore. Give them a try! 😊

Do you know where I can find the 1968 version?

[@aliceanne3952]

@@annabellz1354 honestly I searched for weeks online, until I found someone selling a well used copy. You just have to be patient 😔 otherwise getting a new edition is unfortunately the only way to go. The original print colors are so much better. Look up Mindful Tarot's video about it! She's great!

[@annabellz1354]

There is now a Vintage Pam deck that is just awesome. Maybe not your fav because you like the brighter colors it seems, but it has a feel to it like no other. On beautiful linen, as well. It’s a limited edition only through a playing card website. (don’t remember the name right now, but contact me if interested and I”ll look it up.) They have both full and deck size. My new favorite RWS . (Also the illuminated Tarot but I think that’s out of print.) Great Video. Thanks. I”m teaching a tarot starting in a couple of weeks. I’ll definitely put this video link in the handouts.. :)

[@astromommyuniverse]

Thank you for doing this review! I have been reading tarot for a while now, but don't have a good RW deck (my husband gave me a holographic RW deck that is hard to look at, LOL! Well-intentioned, but not "the one.") I would have to say that from your review, my favorites are the Universal and the Radiant RW! Thanks!

[@rachelstarotreads]

I love the more muted and calmer tones of the Universal!! Yes some of those holographic decks can be hard on the eyes hahah

[@astromommyuniverse]

@@rachelstarotreads Totally! That's why I needed to get a more "regular" one, LOL! I decided to get the Universal Waite Deck and I used it for the first time in my video on the Mercury retrograde in Taurus starting today and it was awesome! Thank you so much for your amazing review, it really helped me and I think the card I pulled for the Merc Rx was spot on! I subscribed to your channel and I look forward to watching more of your videos! Thank you!

[@SNH108]

Could you compare the Universal Waite deck (that looks like colored pencils) next to the Radiant Rider-Waite deck?

[@rachelstarotreads]

Yes! I will add this to my list ☺️

[@RetroXRicardo]

As a collector of Waite-Smith spin-off decks, I appreciate this video to see the differences of the clone decks out there. I don't care much for card backings differences or color differences. I am more attracted to spin-off versions of the original artwork of Pixie. I have the Centennial, Radiant, Radiant Wise, Albano-Waite, RDR Tarot, White Tarot, and RWS 2.0 as my main clone spin-off decks. Thanks for an informative video! 🤗🤗🤗

[@nadia_margaret_3458]

LOL

[@akiraakimoto326]

I believe the black strips you mentioned 16:14 is used to cover the little line of US Games copyright words, which means this deck is probably a scanned copy of US Games deck

[@YourMajesty143]

That's not pixelation on the borderless, that's a result of using linen cardstock rather than matte, gloss, semi-gloss/semi-matte, etc. Linen shuffles better and is more durable. Not my favorite, but some people base their enjoyability of playing cards on texture & feel over aesthetics and others prefer aesthetics over texture/feel.

[@blondefire79]

It would be interesting to see your take on the Vintage Tarot (Lo Scarabeo). I can't imagine you'd like the muted colours too much 🤣

[@annerobinson2288]

The green of the Original Rider deck is copied from the 1930's Rider and the non copyright yellow box editions are from the earlier 1910 Rider. Clearly different printings. Thanks for this comparison. You're sweet. Anne

[@KittyPurro]

It’s weird that I have the spanish type of version but it is not in Spanish. It is in English but with the same text font as it is and the back of the card is not green but Blue!!!. I think mine’s fake or China has modded the card to make it look more appealing. Since the skin of The Fool is more Yellowish.

[@ungrigridetarah9963]

Hello have a question about radiant rider Waite deck. I recently purchased one but it’s not the right version. Doesn’t look like yours the one you trimmed. How do I find that version? I really want it. Thank you in advance. 😊

[@rachelstarotreads]

It’s hard to tell which version you’re getting… the one I have I bought it at random and it just so happened to be the glossy vibrant cardstock. But I know what you mean because there’s another edition where the cardstock isn’t glossy and the images are not as vibrant in color. I wish I knew a way to tell when purchasing but I honestly don’t know.

[@-Prashant-Kumar]

Loved it totally ❤ tooo many decks in one. This could hve been titled *All in one decks comparison* which ppl mostly buy. Please a request to u, can u make a side by side comparison of the da brigh original tarot deck and *real original, tht vintage one* deck. Just every card comparison between them 😁 P-L-E-A-S-E 🙏

[@grhtheblahaj4248]

Hi, I hope you do not mind me asking but I was looking to buy the Before and After Tarot Decks from Lo Scarabeo but I dont know which RWS deck should I buy to complete the trinity. Initially, Im thinking the Centinnial deck that come with the PCS Commemorative edition would be nice but Im not sure if its the same size. Before and After cards measure 7x11.8cm. I have limited budget and thus I cannot commit a mistake in purchase. I trust your recommendation wholeheartedly.

[@rachelstarotreads]

I agree, the Centennial deck would be great! I also recommend the Original Rider Waite. The colors of that version match the Before and After Tarot decks, in my opinion. ☺️

[@lizgonzalez9589]

Hey Rachel can u help me find a version of the rider Waite that has two pentagram on the backs and the backings are dark blue ??

I’m not sure which deck that is? I don’t think I’ve seen that one before…

Great video thank you! I was hoping to find out what deck is the one with smiths images only cards like the two of cups are hugging, and the 4 of cups has one person holding a coin in front of 3 children sitting in front of him each holding a coin. I can’t find anything anywhere except for images 😭 If you know what deck this is, I would be great full for your knowledge.❤️

[@kimberlyfogalun-filtered6466]

Of course, right after I reached out to you, strange events that occurred this morning miraculously took me straight to the deck in question?????? It’s called the After Tarot Deck. I’m blown away, simply blown away!!!!!!! 😊

[@rachelstarotreads]

I love when that happens!!!

[@ghettocountry8678]

I just noticed where the period is on the fool card, that maybe a way to tell how vintage they are also, because i just got a deck from ebay trying to figure out what year, because there is no copyright on them just on the sides of cards very small the box has the green wand, and the colors are pale colors has ibns number downside back of box, perfect condition, so whoever owned these took very very well care, it's got both blank cards vol l and vol ll with the Stamford ct address but backside of book has the Ludlow street address on it on it talks about how to order the catalog, from cartomancy. NOw Im thinking i may have ended up with a later version or possibly early edition for the 70's and not an 80's to 90's deck. Im so unsure and trying to figure this out, because the punctuation is far out on it from and on the fool card. Im trying to find someone that would def. know what year it is so i can figure it out for my own. I've asked several but with no response back yet.

[@grumpyschnauzer]

Thank you so much for doing all this work 😆 I’m now narrowing my picks down.

[@ghettocountry8678]

I think the older ones are colored in linework and that's the difference in color, but i think mine are just like your second stack. But the copyright is so so small you can barely see that is there and the bottom is like a pale blueish grey so light and pale. That's the way mine is the art lines in the fools inside sleeves which that I think makes it totally older. His face is pale. I'm trying my best to get a date because the copyright on side is 1971 but it's possible it's early to late 70's but was told it was 86-90's but i don't think it is just because of the art of them. if you could help that would be greatly appreciated. These are so matte feeling and flimsy like airy, windy if that makes since got a odd sound not like the new cards, these are super thin but flimsy and so so pale. My first deck after my 80's deck that did get lost moving i think my mom may have thrown them away, but the original deck was my second newest first deck and brought back so many memories for me after I started working with it more, and so accurate to read with. But at first, I didn't want anything to do with it, but the more i picked it up the better it worked so now that's what i use the most, the original deck/the sepia brownish colored ones. I didn't click well with it first, but I have learned with it,

How do you know if it is a clone deck?

[@rachelstarotreads]

I call any Rider Waite that has been changed in some way shape or form from its original state a clone. So usually if the colors are different or the backings. There’s many artists who will create their own version of a Rider Waite and change the art.
