Waite. This classic tarot deck features full pictorial scenes in the muted colors chosen by “Pixie" herself. The deck was first issued in 2009 by U.S. Games Systems as part of the Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative Set. The 80-card deck includes the standard 78 tarot cards plus 2 samples of Pixie's non-tarot artwork. Cards in this pocket-sized deck measure 2.25˝ x 3.75˝.See also: Smith-Waite Centennial Tarot Deck, Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative Set. Review: This is THE Rider-Waite deck to get. Especially if you didn't like the Original. - The recoloring does wonders to make this deck one I can connect to and use. Initially I intended to set it aside after getting better with tarot, but I'll definitely be continuing to use this lovely deck. It's given good readings in just the little time I've had it and I look forward to learning with it. I also really like the size - bigger than my other travel deck, but still easily portable, and easy to shuffle. The tin is very good quality and the cards fit into it nicely. I'd previously not gotten the classic Rider-Waite deck because I found the original deck almost repulsive - full of preschool-bright primary colors that appeared to just rest on top of the lovely line art and a hideous amount of yellow. Despite so many sources recommending the deck to use for study at least, I couldn't do it despite how badly I wanted to improve. Just the sight of the Fool and the Magician standing in front of that unrelentingly yellow sky made me not buy it and I knew it wasn't the deck for me. Until I saw a video review of THIS version of the deck. On the video the colors looked thankfully dulled and I finally caved so I could have a good learning deck. I am so glad I did. Even with just a few readings I cannot be happier with this deck. In-person the colors aren't faded or muted, but vivid and saturated - instead they have a dusky, aged quality to them that is very pleasant to the eye. That awful yellow has been replaced with a more mustardy hue. They're still unfortunately yellow, but it's a bearable one. The new off-white color for the backing (almost like a tea-stain) also helps the colors blend into the environment of the scene rather than appearing to sit on top. It suits the cards very well, and I think where they made color changes entirely it was a good decision. Overall the images now look almost painterly rather than like a coloring book. My only qualm is the Little White Book. I did not agree with 90% of the keywords and definitions of the cards. The Hermit is not "Deception" ect. I don't know if I got one with errors, but I will never look at it again. The additional art cards were nice though. Overall: an excellent recoloring of the classic deck. Review: A perfect deck! - Gorgeous deck, perfect for what I wanted. Slightly smaller so easier to handle, the colors are gorgeous and feel vivid without being overly saturated or garish. The tin is lovely. I have 0 complaints about this deck, and I've been using it every day for a month. Highly recommend! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,943 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in Fortune Telling #57 in Tarot | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,420 Reviews | ## Images ![Smith-Waite® Centennial Tarot Deck in a Tin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91biRXZSkGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is THE Rider-Waite deck to get.
