New Rider Waite Card Back!

53rdspirit

I'd prefer the back without the large signature in the two corners (it's overkill to me), but other than that, I like it much better than the plaid.

I know I'll be purchasing the deck when it comes out.

I think this is awesome! This new edition looks like it's going to do full justice and more to the deck. My birthday's in May so this couldn't have been timed better!

There's been a thread started on the same subject in the Tarot decks forum. I've cross linked to it and copied the back design pic over to that thread as well. Everyone over there had been asking the same questions about the back design.

I don't like it at all. To me it just looks uninspired, especially for a 100th anniversary edition. I like the Rider deLuxe back better than this one. I'm not trying to kill anyone's buzz, that's just my opinion.

My mother always said if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all; I probably should listen more to her advice. :D

Yes i agree with that, but other then that it looks alot better without having all those flowers on mine.

While I do like the new 100th anniversary back, I also really like the DeLuxe back. I had forgotten all about it, just got it out to look. Here's a scan of it.

I agree. The deluxe back looks awesome compared to the flowered lilly one. That's such an off-shade of blue. Maybe they were going for something that looked old and faded by the sun? Also, the deluxe back looks like it runs to the edge of the card, while the anniversary backing appears to have a white strip bordering the image. (Even if it doesn't, it still looks better, hehe.)

Teachers used to get angry at me in gradeschool for not filling in the whitespace in colorings.

Almost anything is an improvement on the generic tartan.
