The 100% Plastic Rider Tarot Deck (Rider-Waite® Tarot Deck Collection)

I’m studying, solely, with the Rideer-Waite-Smith Decks, purchased through Amazon. In the last week six 100% Plastic Rider Tarot, and two of the classic paper card stock. All was fine until number eight, as it had been opened. Now, your people may not be aware that some card readers don’t like, or allow others- the querents or curious, to touch their cards. I’m one of them. I haven’t inspected them yet, but will do so, with the of knowledge and intent to clean, if necessary, smudge, and consecrate them, to get rid of negative aspects. Now, other than concern for #8, being a 100% plastic deck, it should be easy to remedy. Now I’m a fan of “The 100$% Plastic Rider Waite Deck.” I have short, but wide fingers. Standard card stock, if larger dimensions than that of the 100% Plastic cards, is extraordinarily difficult for me to shuffle. I love these cards. Like the KEM cards I played Bridge with more than fifty years ago, they were the “unicorn” of cards. Easy to shuffle, maintain, and hold. U.S. Games Systems, Inc. has made the perfect cards for me. Easy to clean, these cards will last far beyond the fifty times the usage of typical card stock. BIG money saver. Checked the deck, and only the Knight of Pentacles was dirty. Likewise, checked the box- dented on six of eight corners- like it had been dropped and skidded. Deck unwrapped, and box is loose. Will necessitate a better way of storage and/or carriage. It pays to check anything that will be of use to self or others. My experiences with Amazon have all been favorable. Knowing how logistics works in this country, it’s amazing how well the do, versus other carriers. That they not only provide goods and services, but ship them to their customers, is a certain wonder of the modern world. You decide what number! Now, as to the 100% Plastic Rider Tarot Deck, you’ll have to decide for yourself. I’m hooked, and I’ve had lots of different types and styles of Tarot decks. I can only say this about the Rider-Waite-Smith Deck- at 75, I wish I’d majored on their use from my beginning use and experiences of Tarot. Knowing what I know now, I’d have stayed with far more than substance of the RWS, and eschewed the glitz and glamour of the myriad of deck now available. But, Hey! That’s just me. Do your research, then buy ONE. Check it out, see if it bonds with you, and you “click.” Always be ready and available for change, if you or your guides suggest something else down the road. Readers have lots of decks, for whatever fits them, or may fit someone else. Next week, three more of the 100% Plastic RWS decks will arrive- had to go to another vendor when Amazon temporarily ran out. Take your time to bond with your decks, keep them clean (very easy with the 100% Plastic decks), and treat each one as a friend. Get to know them. Understand them. When you do, you’ll begin to know how to interact with them, for the benefit to yourself and others. I wish you well, and Blessed Be…

I have a few thoughts about this product. I've been reading the cards for about 7 years professionally. I have a fairly big collection of decks. I wanted a fairly true RWS since I didn't start off reading RWS. But I ventured into it and found it was so close to my Christiann roots and started diving deeper into the most famous of all tarot decks in the modern era. One thing right off the bat is I love how flexible the cards are, I don't have to overexert my thumbs to riffle shuffle. The problem with most decks is after a while I would get a weird wave. Even in the poker sized decks I have which Shuffle perfectly in my hands. This plastic deck is by far the best one. I shuffle all the time even at home watching tv. It's kind of like a fidget spinner for me. But I haven't so far gotten any ripples. I have the biblical tarot, and the glossy texture and plastic feel of the cards still got that weird wave after about a day. This card deck doesn't do that. So, if card bending is a big deal to you, you don't have to worry with this deck. I'd say it's good for all hand sizes just because of how you can flex the cards. I spray holy water on a cloth and wipe each side of the card with it. Then I put some holy oil on it in the sign of the cross to bless each card. If you do this and have essential oils in the olive oil. Be sure it won't eat through plastic. As some oils that are mentioned in the bible will eventually eat through even really thick plastic caps. I wouldn't put those essential oils on these cards. One thing that got me worried though is why US games would have changed the color pallet on these cards. There are some weird skin tones and coloring where there shouldn't be. I'm sure their trying to make it more modern with different shades of skin tones. However, it did change some of the coloration of the original cards. For instance, the two of wands the globe is yellow and a brownish red. Rather than the blue and green globe. I really don't like that they changed the coloration on the cards. The cards do have the US games copy write on them, but it almost feels like someone tried to make a knock off of US games cards. The feeling of the cards is really interesting. I can describe it in three ways for various ages. The feeling of the plastic has a texture to it. The texture is like the old popcorn celling that was exceptionally popular back in the day. If you don't know what that is think of it being like a very fine, non-scratchy sandpaper feel. if you've ever felt sand in your hands, it's like that, but it's not annoying or rough at all. You almost don't feel the texture it's so fine. That actually gives the cards grip on the other cards so that you don't have to worry about them sliding around like other plastic decks. One thing I love about this deck is that there are two cards that have information on them. I like to use these cards as a blank card. Much like a blank rune. For example, I asked the deck what it thought about God, and I drew an information card which is used as a blank card. So, the tarot was telling me it didn't want to give its opinion of God. But when I asked it how it through about my relationship with God, I drew the Sun. Which is a good sign and a good relationship. So, having 2 blank cards can open up a whole new dynamic of how the cards read. I'd like to update in a few months to see how the deck holds up to being handled every single day for a year. So, tune in around the same time next year for an update.

Omg the plastic cards are awesome. When I first got it I was worried that it might be a little too saturated, because it is more saturated in the regular paper version. But after using it, I’m just obsessed, the plastic does take a little getting used to - It’s not quite slippery it’s just so flexible that it has the potential to go everywhere on shuffling. Once you get the hang of it though it’s incredible. I don’t particularly take my cards any where crazy, But it’s so amazing to know that if there’s accidentally anything a little wet on the table or some thing like that the cards can’t be ruined. I’m super happy with this purchase and I can already tell this will be my go to deck for its durability, clarity, everything! Very happy :)

This have become my GO TO cards for everything. Unlike other PVC foil cards out there these are actually going to last for a very long time. I use them A LOT and f they get dirty I literally wipe them down. They are a breeze to shuffle too. Im in love.

It's great the cards are nice with good flexibility, they feel like traditional paper cards, and work nicely for shuffling, great purchase!

The corner of the lid is dented and it was sent out this way I know because they shipped with other items in a box together and like many other reviews stated the lid is very loose but I new that was a possibility and had decided not to use the box before I even made my purchase and since the cards themselves are just fine its not really a big deal. They do have a strong smell but they are plastic and it does start to go away with shuffling so again not a big deal. This deck is soooo smooth to shuffle even on the first shuffle it was so satisfying 😌. I would definitely recommend!

This tarot deck features the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) drawings/symbols, and even the blue/white plaid design on the back. But there's a twist...the cards themselves are PLASTIC! Unlike a normal deck made of cardboard/card stock, these are made with a thin plastic material. That makes them very durable and sturdy. They won't bend, crease or split on the edges. They're even waterproof and you could wipe them down if they somehow got dirty. My favorite thing about them is how they feel! They shuffle so easily because the plastic slides smoothly. That also makes them a little slippery, so you'll need to get used to handling them. I've adapted to them now and love the feel and even the sound they make when you shuffle them. One of my favorite decks - I reach for them often!

I've recently gotten back into the tarot after several years and I can't tell you how much I love this deck. I have an old deck (kind of a novelty deck with different artists renditions) and i just didn't mesh well with them. These plastic cards are great, though. Classic look, easy to handle, sturdy box, and seemingly indestructible. I bought a silk-lined velvet bag to keep them in so the box stays in good shape. I don't really like the booklet that comes with them, but there are plenty of good inexpensive books out there that will teach you so much and more than the generic little book that comes with any tarot deck. Great buy. 👍

To be honest I have been using one cardboard deck for more than 15 years. I now decided to try the plastic one but I don't think it is a nice one. They are quite big thin and filmsy. I don't know over time if I know and I learn how to use it well. This is not going to last very long because I use them for more than 3 to 4 hours everyday. I would highly recommend everybody to have a look at all reviews and then make their mind. I am honestly not to happy but I will try to connect with the deck better. Also doing smoke of Palo Santo or sage might be a bit dicey because we do have a chance of burning the deck. While shuffling the cards it is not very comfortable and they do tend to bend and also bruise your hand if you have a sensitive skin. Lets enter the future and see but as of now, I am not happy. I would have definitely given three stars only but I'm giving one more star for keeping the original pictorial print very very intact and perfect. Also,the price is a bit steep. All the best.

Amazing quality and print! Slippery suckers though! When I opened them, they flew out all over the place and I had to pick half of them up from the floor and count them. These should last many years! Ooh, and shuffling them is so easy, but yes, just keep in mind they are a bit slippery - as I stated earlier. I probably wouldn't advise people with small hands get these, but anyone else, definitely worth it!

Exelente mazo, tanto para principiantes como para expertos. Es exactamente el mismo diseño del original, mismos colores, la textura es sedosa y agradable, aun que si se llega a percibir el plástico, por eso mismo son un poco más resbaladizas que un deck normal, pero nada a lo que un experto no se pueda a costumbrar en dos o tres tiradas, y un principiante es posible que no se percate al tacto de la diferencia. Se barajan como los dioses, no se atascan, no se dañan, no se doblan las puntas, no se pelean, no se maltratan con líquidos, hasta soportan gel sanitizante sin dañarse (vi una reseña en youtube donde mostraban eso). De la durabilidad ya mejor ni hablamos, parecen casi indestructibles, a mi siempre me han gustado los naipes para jugar de plástico, tengo unos que me han durado con mucho uso más de 10 años (suelen despintarse, pero después de muchísimo uso), por eso cuando vi este mazo de tarot no dude en comprarlo, desearía que toda mi colección de mazos de tarot fueran de plástico. Si eres profesional como yo, te vas a ahorrar mucho dinero comprando este deck, yo me gasto en promedio unos 2 o 3 mazos al año y este calculo que me durará unos dos años como mínimo. El único pero es que la tapa de la caja está floja y se safa con mucha facilidad, pero a mi eso me da absolutamente igual, por que de todos modos siempre pongo mis mazos en bolsas especiales. Sin lugar a dudas es el mejor mazo rider white clásico que puedes tener. No dudes ni un segundo en comprarlo.

best deck ive ever seen or touched. will likely become a family relic

●発売当初、タロットリーダーの間で話題になっていた（？）、プラスチック製タロットである。デザインはライダーウェイト版。製品自体に若干癖があるが、個人的には相性も良く、お気に入りの一品。 ■気に入っている点と注意点■ プラスチック製なので、紙製よりは丈夫であろうし、又、防水加工はされていなさそうだが紙よりは水に強そう。 ただし、プラスチック製と書くとカチカチのものを想像してしまうかもしれないが（私もそうでした）、本品は柔らかいので、折り曲げたりすると普通に折り皺が残ったり傷んだりする可能性が高い。 故に、紙製タロット同様、あまり雑に扱わないほうが良さそうである。 ■扱いやすさ、扱いにくさ■ 通常サイズのタロットよりも少し大きいのと、プラスチック加工故の滑りの良さが相まって、慣れるまではカットしにくい。手の小さい女性はカットの仕方に一工夫必要かもしれない。 扱いに慣れてしまえば、滑りの良さとシャッ！シャッ！シャッ！という爽快なカット音により心地よく感じられることだろう。 ■好みが別れるであろう点■ 着色の仕方がかなり派手なこと。ただその分、絵柄やイメージがダイレクトに飛び込んでくるので、個人的にはかなりリーディングしやすい。きちんと利点にもなっている。 ■注意点■ 本品はかなりニオイがきついので、注意が必要である。開封したては特に顕著で、プラスチックというよりかはゴム臭という感じ。ビニールプールや浮き輪のニオイに近いものを想像していただけるとわかりやすい。科学物質や臭いに過敏な方は避けた方が良いかもしれない。 ●以上の点を踏まえると、扱うにはかなり癖があるが、リーディングしやすく存在感抜群なアイテムをお求めの方にはオススメ。私もよく実践鑑定で使っています♪
