Review: Authentic yet Little known Smith Waite Tarot Deck - I was looking for an antique reproduction Rider Waite Smith Tarot deck and this is the best ive found. Most people in the UK seem to go for the so called 'Original Rider Waite' which although it does have nice faded colours also has a few things I dont like such as all the blues have turned to green from light exposure and many of the faces are red, blotchy or look redrawn? Look carefully at the Fool card compaired to the illustration in Waite's own Pictorial Key to the Tarot book and you will see what I mean. I can only assume that deck is more popular here because its the only version you see in shops in the UK these days. I think the publishers should change the front cover, although the additional cards with Pamela's artwork are a great addition I think it would be best placed on the back of the box so people know this is the iconic Smith Waite Tarot deck. I discovered that the Centennial edition deck is much preffered by Tarot collectors and readers outside the UK and now I understand why. This deck has a much better range of colours which give a better idea of the original artwork as painted by Pamela. The faces are clear and in keeping with the artists style. The artwork has crisper black lines and unlike other reproduction decks the borders are not stark white but keep the off white vintage look all the way to the edges. Ive compaired this deck with other Rider Waite versions and I noticed that this one has more of the image on each card which says to me that this is a more authentic deck. See the King of Cups for a clear example of this, we now see the full fish in the sea. The card is semi matt and the deck is printed on nice thick card stock. I feel like im stepping back in time when I read with this deck, so beautiful and magical. If your looking for a high quality antique looking deck with muted colours, plenty of symbolic detail and countless books that work with the symbolism this could be the one for you. Review: This is the deck you're looking for. - If you're like me and wanted to get a high quality Rider-Waite-Smith deck with the original artwork this is the one you need. There are so many versions of this deck available to buy online and almost every single one has an issue. Either the artwork is poorly printed, the colours are sickeningly bright, the art has been redesigned, the cards are too small (like the size of playing cards), the quality of the cards are poor and are hard to handle...the list goes on and on. This deck is a brilliant size, the art is crisp and clean while the colours are subtle but not washed out. The cards have a great feel and are a great thickness as they're thick enough to not be flimsy yet still easy to shuffle. I collect tarot decks personally but this remains my go to deck when doing readings and is the sole deck I think of when I think of tarot. To put simply, this is my deck. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 231,530 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 235 in Cartomancy 424 in Fortune Telling 753 in Tarot | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,515) | | Dimensions | 7.62 x 3.18 x 12.7 cm | | Edition | Tcr Crds | | ISBN-10 | 1572817623 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1572817623 | | Item weight | 431 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 84 pages | | Publication date | 20 Aug. 2013 | | Publisher | U.S. Games | ## Images ![Smith-Waite(r) Centennial Tarot Deck - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-BrwPAWgL.jpg) ![Smith-Waite(r) Centennial Tarot Deck - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LJrlgMChL.jpg) ![Smith-Waite(r) Centennial Tarot Deck - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71v58FjKVJL.jpg) ![Smith-Waite(r) Centennial Tarot Deck - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Yk59eNp4L.jpg) ![Smith-Waite(r) Centennial Tarot Deck - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cK9vqkJNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentic yet Little known Smith Waite Tarot Deck *by E***I on 24 July 2014* I was looking for an antique reproduction Rider Waite Smith Tarot deck and this is the best ive found.

The vintage, sepia tones are mellow and soothing (unlike other neon 'egg yolk' yellow versions), the details are far more refined (yes, I'm looking at YOU, crappy-awful-shameful 'Original' RWS deck!) and finally the backs - featuring Coleman-Smith's monogram with the Death's banner White Rose of York - are simple and beautiful. Generally the RWS deck isn't overly busy or ornate, but the more muted shades of this edition make it prefect for keeping focus during readings or when you're learning the interpretations. This is a lovely deck to work with, a perfectly balanced colour palette, not too big for shuffling and nice quality cardstock. Overall, highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smith-Waite® Centennial Tarot Deck - Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey to Self-Awareness (A New Edition of the Tarot Classic) - Guided Tarot: A Beginner's Guide to Card Meanings, Spreads, and Intuitive Exercises for Seamless Readings (Guided Metaphysical Readings) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48608969-smith-waite-r-centennial-tarot-deck](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48608969-smith-waite-r-centennial-tarot-deck) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
