I like the colour in the background of the CS but i love the vintage colour on the title's of Pam's vintage and the vintage look ! Thankyou for sharing !
You are very welcome! Thank you for stopping by @AbsinthEve ! And yes, I love the backgrounds in the CS and an older feel of Pam's Vintage ... hence I have both of them! LOL! :)
Lovely seeing them both side by side Mascha. Aren’t we fortunate to have such beautiful decks available? Not only that but to be able to support a lovely creator and friend 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you, Simon! 🙏💖 Yes, we are so fortunate to have access to such beautiful decks! I equally love both of those & yes! Conrad is such a talented, generous and amazing person! 💕
Hello Mascha!!! Today I've gotten my C.S.Tarot🥰 and...with this video you've made me to buy it😆! I would never thought I will buy another version of RWS because I love my old Centennial so much- but your enthusiasm as well as Conrad's beautiful artwork won😘!!! So I decided to buy my first plastic deck and I am in love with it!!! The colours , the way they riffle-shuffle, their flexibility and even the weigh- everything is perfect except... Well, I have only one question: does this strong and strange smell of this new cardstock stays for a long time? Is there a chance it faints in a while? Would be grateful for the answer🙏!!! Blessings!!!
Hello Astrid! Thank you so much for watching! 🙏♥️ How exciting your plastic CS tarot arrived! 😊😊😊Yes, the flexibility of the cardstock is so amazing, and the cards will last a lifetime! Oh, the smell… I never noticed the strong smell of the CS tarot… but that’s probably because I got it after the plastic RWS from the US Games, which has a VERY strong smell…
@@musingsbymascha Thank you for the answer😚!!! Fortunately the smell is fading- I also rubbed my perfume to the edges🤪 and I'm keeping some incense in the box. It helps a lot😄!!! Besides thank you for the interview with Giordano Berti- it was great two hours!!! I have his Sola Busca and truly the cardstock is incredible! However...right now I am in love with this plastic one- none worries to take it out to the park, beach or to the bathtub😘!!! Have a nice weekend🌞!!!
I really admire your capacity to appreciate all the fine details in the quality, coloring, and so on in different versions of essentially the same deck. You have a wonderful collector's eye! Thanks for sharing 🧡
Thank you for your kind words, dearest Nancy!✨🙏✨💖✨ I’m really only a novice enthusiast in tarot gradually developing my taste & appreciation of the cards, my friend. 🥰
Hi Mascha, You have such a wonderful and gentle energy. I have one of the CS tarot decks and I absolutely love it. I want to order other sizes and I want a plastic deck. Thank you for such wonderful videos!
Lovely Dory! Thank you so much for such kind words & for watching! ✨🙏✨💖✨ I so love my CS tarot too & now this new deck (Pam’s Old Tarot). Oh, plastic versions of the decks featured in this video are just fantastic!
Hi Mascha! I have allot of deck all different styles and I am getting rid of allot of my decks because I realized I love RWS and I am getting C.S. Tarot By Conrad Steyn plastic with the crackle backgrounds but with the Amber back. Thank you for doing this video. Love and light to you!
Hi Marsha! Ohhh, the amber backs are so beautiful! And the Plastic CS Tarot will be an indestructible addition to your deck library, which is awesome! Please let me know once your copy arrives, Marsha! 🧡 Yes, I completely understand deck culling! I’ve passed on so many decks I had acquired during my earlier times with tarot… I have learnt and know better now!🥰 Thank you for watching! Much love! xx 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for another great comparison video! I have both decks that I love equally and would not be able to choose one over the other. The cherry on top of owning two beautiful decks is that the creator is so nice. Conrad is great to work with if you have a special request.
Aww, that’s so exciting to hear you have both of these decks, Sheryl!💖 Do you have them in plastic or satin smooth cardstock? And what backs were your choice in the CS? I’m so curious!🥰 Yes, Conrad is truly nice and wonderful to work with!
@@musingsbymascha I have the CS in the black crackle/smooth satin card-stock. I also bought the custom boxes from MPC for both decks, but I did the Pam's Old Tarot box with just the image of the gorgeous backs. Where do you find all your tin box images to upload to MPC? P.S. I love your dog-I had two Cavaliers, a Blenheim and a tricolor, and I loved them so much!
@@sherylcohen1679 aww, nice! I love black crackled backs, but with that I love the Amber ones too! 🥰 When it comes to Conrad’s decks, there are some images available on the Hermit’s Cave Facebook Page, but I also asked Conrad a couple of times to send me some to customise my tins for his decks. Oh yes, my doggie! 🐶💕 His name is Chappie & he often frequents my videos! I’m convinced many people come to my channel just to see him! ☺️ Cavaliers are such beautiful & sweet dogs!
Love these just ordered the crackle backs CS deck in linen, not a big fan of RWS however, 🤔, looking at that deck on the left I feel I could warm to it and use it for a reading here and there. Thank you for showing us 😊🙏🏻😊 (typically i'm aThoth and Marseille fan) but I'm always on the lookout for a RW deck that one day I might love as much as I do my other decks 😊😊🏴😊😊, this could be the one ☝🏻
Hi Nickie, Thank you for watching & your comment! ✨🙏✨ I hope so much that you love the CS Tarot! When it comes to tarot, the primary lineage for me and which I love most is Tarot de Marseille. I’m slowly learning Thoth though & I do love my RWS, too! 🥰 I want to be well-rehearsed across all these 3 lineages of tarot one day.
@@musingsbymascha hi Masha I have watched your other videos and made contact with Kartogramme and Agnes and recently received a hand made Vandenborre from her which I am in love with 😀 I've been a bit of a collector for a while now and still find new decks which I want to purchase, I'm curious to see how I feel about a "slightly different" RWS as to date it's not really called to me 😊, but I keep trying 😆 and love all things tarot, I'm sure I'll find more after watching your reviews, it's so good to connect with someone who loves the cards and special decks like I do 👏🏻 also the Thoth was my first love many years ago and I still read regularly with it, it's never wrong 😆 but it takes years to understand the astrological and Kabbala/ Hebrew symbolism too, the books give a lot of insight which helped me a lot, I really really really want and older Thoth deck with the 3 Magus that doesn't cost £1000 +, maybe one day I'll find one 🙏🏻
@@nickiehoare aww, thank you for sharing and for watching my content here on TH-cam ! I’m so grateful! ✨🙏✨ Agnes’ card craftsmanship is superb & what a wonderful choice you made with the Vandenborre, Nickie! 👌 It’s such a fun tarot to read with, isn’t it? I’m very partial for Bacchus! 🍷🥰 I hope you love your new RWS, and YES! It’s so wonderful to connect with you, fellow tarot lover! 💕 Just like you, Nickie, I just love cards so much & they bring me tremendous amounts of joy! ✨💖✨
Hi Masha!! Thank you for your suggestions of plastic decks. As you know, I'm in pursuit of either an Italian or TdM in plastic. So far, I can't find what I'm looking for. I do have several plastic playing cards and I've noticed that the colors on those plastic cards are wearing off. They definitely show signs of wear from shuffling. Have you observed wear and tear and fading of color in your plastic tarot decks? I wish I liked RWS, so many options for it in plastic. I hope our favorite publishers consider creating a plastic option for some of their decks. In particular, I'm looking for a plastic Mitelli. (Our friend SD no longer makes the Mitelli available in plastic, so I don't know how to get my 78 card Mitelli in plastic.)
Hello Marilyn! I hope you’re having a weekend! Yes, I too have a few plastic playing cards decks from a few mass publishers of playing cards (bicycle & etc.). And yes, I find the colours in those decks wear off. But when it comes to MPC plastic cardstock, I think it’s superb and even my first plastic decks from them look brand new. I’m so sorry I didn’t know you wanted plastic Mitelli when Shell did mine through MPC. 😢
@@musingsbymaschamorose. I'm glad to know that MPC makes a quality product. Id be really disappointed if i spent the money and the paint chipped. I asked Shell if he could make it in plastic for me, but he said he isn't offering the plastic anymore. I'd try it myself, but I'm not clever enough to figure out out. I'm in a mission. I haven't found a historic MPC deck that I liked well enough to spend the money on, especially with nearly $20 for shipping. I'd make it myself but I don't know how. So frustrating 😢
What a lovely review. Thank you Mascha. 😊 I haven't seen the plastic yet myself and I like the way it turned it. Its a pitty that MPC cost price is so high for plastic decks. Wish they could be more affordable. As I'm typing this I'm thinking Esther from Mindful Tarot will like this one too. You and her both love the plastic card stock. :-) Let me know how it reads. For me... CS always reads like I'm chatting with an old friend - who knows me better than I know myself and is not afraid to say it. 🙃
@Conrad Steyn , Thank you so much for watching and for making Pam's Old Deck available in plastic for us, who love our decks in MPC plastic cardstock!💖 Yes, I think Esther will love it, too! I will let you know how it reads for me, Conrad...but meanwhile an epsom salt bath in the candlelight with my new deck is in the cards for me tonight! 😊
Hi Mascha! One of these days I'm going to have to buy a plastic deck to check it out. If you love it so much it's got to be decent. Btw, are the CS and Old Pam versions you have there mostly different colorations explored and applied by Steyn, and also, which Pam are they copied from (1909, 1910, or the B,C, or D)? As always, xoxo ~ Marilyn
Hello Marilyn! I hope you have been well! Thank you for watching! 🙏💕 Yes, you are correct, both of the decks in this video (Pam’s Old & CS Tarots) are different colourations/ filters applied by Conrad. As of recent, he actually DOES have Pam’s 1909, A, B, C & D available from his MPC shop, as per Saskia & Kenji’s ( people who own the originals/ original scans) permission to reproduce them. As for the plastic version for those, you may need to contact Conrad or MPC team for those. I hope this helps. www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/the-tarot-lounge Sending much love 💖
@@musingsbymascha Thank you for getting back to me Mascha! I have Conrad's 1909 and 1910, but I was curious about those other two. I'll have to get around to doing a video on the Roses/Lilies 1909 and 1910, we've had a few things happening that have distracted me from doing it but I will soon. Thank you for getting back to me xoxo ~ Marilyn
Hi Anne, If you don't have the Pam's Old Deck yet, there's an option to purchase the deck + tin (with the Hermit), here's the link: www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/marketplace/pams-old-deck-tin.html The plastic version of the deck, also can be purchased with the tin (with the Fool Card): www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/marketplace/pams-old-deck-plastic-tin.html If you already have both decks and just want the matching tins, you will have to customise the tins yourself. Some of the images are available from the Hermit's Cave Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/186075265437272/files Or you can always request them from Conrad Steyn. He's a lovely person. I hope this helps! xx
@@musingsbymascha Helps a lot. I don't have any of his decks yet, so I'll get the ones you suggest. I don't belong to Facebook so if I want something the site doesn't offer, I'll contact him directly. I did write MPC and am waiting for them to contact me but that doesn't mean they will accomodate what I want. I seems to me that they should put the tin as an option on all of the pages along with the decks but they don't. Thank you so much, Mascha. So nice of you to take the time to respond to all of us so quickly and consistently. Love Anne Conrad seems so nice. I think he's a Virgo along with his 2 Virgo cats! Or maybe a Pisces like me cause his favorite cards are the High Priestess and the Hermit. .
@@annerobinson2288 aww, that’s always my pleasure, dear Anne! 🥰🥰🥰 And thank you for your kindness and support of my little channel! ♥️ Yes, I so agree with you!
