Amazing quality i loved it

Oh My God! ! straight from italy. its not made in china. its italian made. the cards don’t feel cardboardish like some cheap version od decks. the back of the cards are perfectly beautiful. the cards are mode of matte finish and not glossy and slippery. as for the print, original pamela colman print. don’t complain about it. it was made that way and the artwork is simply transferred. its not the issue with printing. over all. LOVE THE DECK PLEASE BUY THIS ONE AND NOT OTHERS BECAUSE THEY ARE ORIGINAL ITALIAN MADE AND NOT FROM CHINA!!! and my first reading from this deck was ace of wands oh god such a positive kickstart to a new deck! 100 percent recommended!!!

This is the best tarot cards which one must definitely buy. They are smooth and the print quality is just WOW!! One could easily connect with them at ease and get going !! A must buy for all tarot card lovers !!

Finally so glad and thrilled to own this original deck getting added to my tarot collection! The card quality is amazing, not paper or cardboard stuff it’s really superb quality and very easy and light to shuffle. But I feel printing could’ve been much much better since it’s made in Italy, the colours of the objects like wands, cups, the horses of the knights are noticeable thin lines, not completely filled color which is really disappointing. There’s some weird white gap of white color at the hair of the female characters too. But overall amazing deck! Always wanted to own this and now I have it so I’m very happy! Thank you @Amazon & customer support for the quick delivery before 2 days delivery date as promised!

I have been doing tarot since 3 years and I have many decks. This was one deck that kept attracting me ...it's nice and smooth. I liked it. The color is good and true ..but i wish the features were little sharper like that in radiant tarot. Few cards have dull colour..but since I know the interpretation..i am ok with it.

This is the best deck ever. Just blindly go for this one. Pictures are very very clear and easy to shuffle and spread. Cards are very smooth. Beginners should definitely go for this one.

Beautiful smooth cards... The imagery is wonderful. This deck has a lovely matte finish. Overall I am happy with my purchase. If you are a fan of the Waite-Smith decks and don't have this "Original" set in your collection, then I would urge you to pick one up.

I was apprehensive because I saw a lot of bad reviews about how they were misprinted or bad quality images, but those appear to be older reviews, so I figured I'd order it anyway and see how the quality was. I wanted the old, classic look of the earliest print of these cards, which does look a little oddly printed to modern eyes, but it's a good clear print of the original images, which are a bit weird looking, if that makes any sense. The cards are made of nice smooth, sturdy standard card thickness material, feels like every other non-linen finish cards I've ever handled (playing cards are often linen finish, but usually the same weight). Everything was printed perfectly, including the booklet. I think perhaps in the past this listing has been invaded by fakes, but currently I received a good deck that I'm very happy with. Note that if you want the oldest-looking, retro-style Rider Waite Smith deck, this is the one - if you're looking for the updated, more modern colored one, you want the illuminated or radiant version. I wanted one that looked like the classic old cards that look like they're from the 60s or 70s, if not earlier, so this is the deck I wanted. There are even several different prints and colorings of this "retro" style, but mine looked true to the example photos on this listing so just look closely. It's a bit on the pale side and leans yellow, but I like that look. The RWS isn't for everyone but I have always wanted this deck aesthetically, even before i decided to learn to actually read them, and many books are based on the imagery of these cards, and many people find the imagery of these cards to be the easiest to learn with because it has a lot of symbols that are easy to intuit and to stick in your memory, and having just started I find this to be true. I do have a personal connection to the imagery, but I also find you'll see images of these cards popping up everywhere, so if you're trying to learn, you may already be familiar with many of these images which can make it easier. (While often just called Rider Waite, I and many others add Smith to acknowledge the artist Pamela Colman Smith who drew the cards.)

Es mi baraja favorita el tamaño es el perfecto los colores son fuertes y nítidos. Los detalles los observas a la perfección para los que van aprendiendo y quieren entender cada cosa. Me encanta
