Is this deck out of print? I have a copy that I'd like to trim and edge but I am unsure if it is out of print or not, so that I can have a backup.
Thanks
Thanks
there is still a lot of copies in the aftermarket.
I trimmed mine to make them easier to shuffle. I used the lines on the card back to go by.
The cardstock is stiffish so it didn't make them easier to shuffle, but I like them better trimmed.

Have you looked at the Zerner-Farber deck? I believe it's the same deck, but re-worked slightly. One of the things they did is remove the borders. I have it and it's more like poker sized, but if you trimmed a deck, it would be smaller too.
I looked on Amazon and it seems to be out of print, too, but if you wanted to you could try to find one - then you'd have a nice "trimmed" deck and still have your Enchanted Tarot intact.
What AJ said - I did basically the same thing as you, bought a second copy to trim and kept my first as a backup. It's easy to get them for $10 or sometimes even less, and if you're trimming, a deck being used generally won't matter as much as long as there are no major creases or damage, since you'll be cutting off the main signs of wear anyway. Just be aware of the different sizes of the majors and minors!
I looked into the borderless edition, but I didn't care for the way the titles were on those, among a few other nitpicks, and I knew the deck well enough to trim the titles on mine off. The backs are nicer on the borderless, though.
What color do you plan on inking the edges with? I still haven't done mine yet; can't decide. There are so many colors in that deck to bring out.
