Smith-Waite® Centennial Tarot Deck Review: High quality and affordable! - Gorgeous tarot deck! I wanted a classic looking tarot deck but not one with garish colors and outdated art. THIS IS THE PERFECT BALANCE! The subdued colors make this deck incredibly pleasing to the eye and the box even came with really cool extra art prints from classical literature too! Get this as you first deck if you don’t already have one & get this to add to your collection if you already have others. This deck is solid, easy to use, and is perfect for all levels of tarot enthusiasts. THIS DECK IS PERFECT AND SO AFFORDABLE!! My first deck was and archetypal one that cost $80. I realized soon after opening it that it was a mistake, as I was inexperienced with the themes of tarot and didn’t understand the cards because they drew off of concepts involved in this classic deck. I was devastated because I couldn’t afford another $80 for a classic deck! Then I rejoiced when I found this one!! Not only is this deck very affordable, it is high quality! Every card is perfect, the card stock is thick, the prints are immaculate, and these feel like they will stand up to rough use. They are also a good size. They are larger than playing cards, but not so large that it’s hard to handle them. They shipped in a timely manner and were packed well. Overall I’m elated!! Review: Best starter deck to learn the RWS in my opinion - This deck is gorgeous and very historically accurate to the original 1909 deck. Some reviews complain of an 'vintage' filter, but compared side-by-side to another facsimile of an actual 1909 deck (you can find these flipthroughs on Youtube), you'll see that it's very similar, and that no such 'vintage' filter was applied. The colors seem slightly yellower, so maybe US Games applied a slight color adjustment filter, but all of the printing errors and stains are from an authentic scan. There are many supposed "original 1909" decks on the mass market, but many of them seem to use artwork from different historical printings. The cardstock is nice and thick--thicker than other decks from US Games--though a bit stiff for my taste. It is definitely durable and not a problem for shuffling though. I actually prefer the thinner and slightly smoother cards from their Italy-printed decks. But no complaints from me. If you're new to tarot and you're not sure which of the many Rider Waite Smith decks to pickup, I recommend this one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #67,594 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #74 in Fortune Telling #197 in Tarot | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,545) | | Dimensions | 3 x 1.25 x 5 inches | | Edition | Tcr Crds | | ISBN-10 | 1572817623 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1572817623 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 84 pages | | Publication date | September 23, 2013 | | Publisher | U.S. Games Systems, Inc. | ## Images ![Smith-Waite® Centennial Tarot Deck - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-BrwPAWgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality and affordable! *by A***R on March 18, 2021* Gorgeous tarot deck!

In al the years of Tarot studies, I have struggled connecting to decks, I have so many I am embarrassed to admit. Recently though, I have read a book that transformed my approach to the cards into a more intuition based process with the imagery on the card as a starting point... rather than memorizing meanings from a book with or without connecting to the card imagery which is what I have done for years. I went through that entire book using this deck and now I have this very strong connection to it. Its color tones are sort of muted but vibrant enough at the same time, compared to other Smith-Waite decks and I love that. I gives the vibe of working with an old deck without being cheesy about it. The size and quality of the cards is nice. I have also ordered the version in a tin for when I travel. I don't think you will be disappointed with this one. ## 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.ae/products/16159249-smith-waite-centennial-tarot-deck](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/16159249-smith-waite-centennial-tarot-deck) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
