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.

I miss you Melissa. I hope that all is well by you and yours!!!

They are racist af, this site doesn't even allow Indians to access it.

Great comparison! I just bought an unopened 1st edition of the JK Waite and am so excited to play with it! Your video was great- thank you!

Thank you sooooo much for this video… I just reviewed this deck on my channel and I have to say that I am very pleased with it… thank you for all the very good information you have given us in this video….but the way I will be subscribing to your channel…😊

What a great video…, I just reviewed the RWS by lo scarabeo on my channel and enjoyed your video very much… thank you for posting and I will keep on watching….😊

OMG! This video is so helpful. Thank you for posting it… I just reviewed this deck on my channel and I was a bit confused… I will keep watching and subscribe to your channel…😊

Very good in-depth review, thank you

The Smith-Waite Centennial is like the greenie Rider-Waite. LOL

Why are the deck sizes different? The US Games Centennial Edition looks bigger.

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 😊

I saw a price for the Golden Rider on eBay I couldn’t resist (I thought). I got it today and she’s baby! So thank you for making this video because when I didn’t see the pink circle on the back I was sad but….shes baby!!!! She’s so cute! I hope I can find a decent price regular size with the pink circle in the back ❤

Superb! Thank you for sharing

I don't understand why they didn't translate the card titles....just my two cents.

Why did you stop creating content?

I love there mini decks I have the white cats Tarot and it's beautiful decks

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.

Hi where can one find the rider waite smith study deck?

Oh how I wish the small one was borderless! The image is already small, it doesn't need to be even smaller because of the border! And I would like it to be the same book as the bigger version. Like the sturdy box though! I just bought the big version, and I love it! 💖 Love how you compare the decks!

I am fairly new to tarot still and getting into the history. I loved this video and learning the publication history of lo scarabeo’ dirty Pam deck

May I ask where you got your dirty Pam? Or where I could find it?

I was thinking long enough to maybe get the Centennial Deck version but I realized the thick line work, color bleeding and the less than desired color saturation to cut the costs....... you can see how bad it compares even to the older print in your video. It is a shame...

they are pocket size ?

Hello! I'm just now watching this great video. Question for you: Where did you obtain your copy of the Dirty Pam deck? Thanks in advance!

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!

I have been using this deck quite a lot lately. I like it. It's vibrant.

slippery ❤

damn i have to buy that❤

Great info. Thanks. That glossy card stock is a killer for me too. I can take thin a lot more than I can take that kind of gloss. Pretty artwork though.

what an opportunity. i think the value has risen well above $1,500

It has an old time feel

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

What is the name of number seven please?

Im from Argentina. This deck is the cheapest and easiest to get. Right now it costs about $6. unfortunately the quality of the cards is not good.

which deck is the third WOF card in the comparison from at 16:39? I can't make out what's being said there. "my pmd"?

Awesome! Is Pam's Delight still available?

Thanx for the video. Beautiful borderless deck. Better than radient wise spirit which is dark and shadowy and smith waite borderless which is dull bland and grainy. Im from india and was looking for these two deck on amazon and other e commerce online but did not find them. Would anyone help where one can buy these deck in india???

Not a fan of this deck I prefer the loscarabeo, also why the obsession with it being Pam's deck when A E Waite came up with it? No Waite no deck!

Thank you. This was very interesting.

Where can I purchase this? 🥺

hi, thanks for this very comprehensive video. is it my mistake, or is the deck you call "Boring Pam" identical to the Tarot Original 1909?

Hi, I wrote this guide book and thank you for your good review. I am from Missouri. So thank you so much!!

I just got this deck and I LOVE everything about it, the muted colors, the cardstock, the shuffling....BUT the backs ugh 😩 I hate the backs.
