    I'm doing research on the history of RWS and this seems to be the last printing of the RWS by Rider (still unsure) until US Games started printing it. This edition is definitely going into my collection I've never seen the cards printed in such clean and crisp line work! the thing is the RWS is in the public Domain in America but it's still under copyright in Europe until 2022 still doing research congrats on your find and wish me luck in finding a copy!!

    Hi lovelies! A bit more research since I made the video: it may be that the blushing fools are simply a rare anomaly that happens in some 1970s print runs, and almost never happens in blue box editions... whether they're Waddington or not...

    I have a Rider and Co Blue Box 1971 2nd edition and it has the Blushing Fool. Love this deck

    You can restore the shape of the deck by leaving it pressed between two heavy books, with an added weight, on top. It worked for me. And I would leave it for three days.

    :D I love the box cutting direction off camera! I was anxiously waiting for that Fool card! But despite it not being blushing, it is a GORGEOUS deck, I can't get over how clear the line work is! Enjoy your beautiful find ::HUGS::

    I have this deck, and it only took one night underneath heavy books to straighten out beautifully! Put the cards next to each other on the pages of a book and stack some more books on top of them, you'll have a perfect RWS deck

    this is the way the colors are in my yellow box, their so faint, bright but soft pastel colors. The yellow look almost bright gold but pastel color that pops but they do have the 1971 copyright. Just don't know exactly what year. Yes, lines are sharp and more detailed.

    ok...I've done it now - this one is your fault...just jumped off the cliff - my first two RWS decks off ebay - here's hoping they are good ones. Thanks for all your hard work in these vids...I am going to be scouring second hand bookstores and garage sales forever...

    I have this exact same deck, with the same address and misspelt coleman name. I was thinking it is a 1971 deck, as I heard the blushing fool actually came out after in 1972. I could be wrong. The deck is definitely in-between 1971-1974 as after them dates the copyright appears on the bottom of the cards. Have you worked out exactly when your deck was published? In my key to tarot book it says First Published 1910, This Edition 1972, Second Impression 1973, Third Impression 1974 and Fourth Impression 1977. In the leaflet like yours there is no date inside (unlike the blushing fool that states This Edition 1972. I would love to know your thoughts on our Blue Box version?

    So in essence, USG took ownership of the images, making it difficult, or near impossible for others to publish them without great costs in favour of USG, reducing their competitors' profit margins while increasing their own for every attempt made thereon. And then, systematically reduced their own production quality, to further increase their profit margin (brilliant business moves of course), necessitating current consumers to pay through the nose (or close to it) for a good quality, vintage, OOP ones. Nice. How would you compare this to the recent AGM ed? Just found this video a year on :D Thanks for sharing :D

      Thanks, Anneke - yes - this whole business is a bit dispiriting. - My blue box is gorgeous, unparalleled given its history and the card stock. But the AGM is a VERY close second (if you don't mind losing Pixie's calligraphy).

    Man o man I was biting my nails for some reason! I wanted it to magically be the blushing fool for you.

    hi there, I have just came across this video of which I watched & replied to last year, but unfortunately for me, my laptop was broken, so lost everything, anyway the deck you have seems to be genuine, but due to becoming more advertised , as RARE , more & more people are making up decks, as we call it, a , marriage , of other decks, from, the box, the white booklet, then the cards......which is such a shame, as I have many of the blushing fool decks, & a rare, blue one part , tuckbox, blushing fool, which I never paid more than £5 back in the 1980,s but I can say over the past 3 years on ebay, the average price was about £20, now there is decks on ebay they are asking ...£165, which is CRAZY, but there is a fools proof way of knowing that it is a 1972 deck, & its 100% proof, but that would be telling, sorry lol, but I do hope that you get the Blushing Fool deck soon, BB x

      Hello I have this deck, I don't have the blushing fool but other cards have the blushing face and the book states it is printed by The Campfield Press, St. Albans
