This are great begining or regular used deck. I always liked the symbolism of this deck.
The cards feel nice and are not cheap or flimsy, great for practicing.

I was able to get my hands on a rare 1st printing of this now classic gem of Tarot. It has been the basis of all modern decks to follow. The colors are a bit more accurate in this edition. The texture is different from modern editions; less shiny and somehow more vibrant than more modern printings. The backs are unimaginitive with those horridly busy lines. Turn them over and there is a modern pop image that is recognizable to anyone that has ever seen the cards. Interestingly, this early edition from 1971 was not published by U.S Games, rather Samuel Weiser.
I remember my first encounter with these cards was in 1985. It was a little creepy looking at the then, unfamiliar images. There was not many other decks to choose from at that time. I began memorization of each card and tried my first consultation for myself. I was not put off by lurid rumors after that initial year. I would move on to other decks through the years. These cards would be referenced for many readings to come. Looking back, this was an invaluable lesson for myself.

There are many unusual packs of Tarot cards on todays market, many apparently aimed at various deviant groups and which employ symbolism peculiar to that deviancy. The Rider-Waite deck is not applicable to such groups but rather to the majority (one hesitates to use the word 'Normal') of us who tend to share similar archetypes, or symbols.
Designed by Dr. Arthur Waite and executed by the artist Pamela Smith, the deck is crisply and carefully printed in full color by U.S. Games System Inc., recognizing normal symbology and presenting it's greatest utility to the majority of Tarot students.
For a first deck (and even perhaps your only Tarot deck) you simply cannot go wrong! Something that is not necessarily true if you wish to use the various "collector" decks.

I received my Cards today. Unlike some,I do like the look because I do like the antique look I just wish the instructions were a little better for us beginners.One minor problem was the card box was a little bent up,But the cards were wrapped and looked great so I am not gonna complain. All in All I was very satisfied..Soon as I find more info about what the cards that have no names,(just plain) mean,then I should be happier..hehe (Thumbs Up from me and I would suggest them to others.)
