Our take on the Tarot Deck

The Rider-Waite Tarot Deck is the original 1971 edition of the most widely used tarot deck in the English-speaking world: 78 cards with Pamela Colman Smith's illustrations and a beginner instruction booklet. Cards measure 2.75 by 4.75 inches on cardstock and come in a box. At $20.46 at Amazon as of November 7, 2026, the new price sits at the low end for a sealed original-edition deck.
