Just wanted to drop in an update regarding my current feelings with the deck... So far, I am really liking these cards A LOT, and the images on them are just so wonderful. However, I notice that the card edges are beginning to peel slightly, showing some whites here and there. Does it happen for your decks as well?

I use the deck quite a bit....and no peeling or fraying
I am going to use distressed ink on the edges, but not because there is a problem. I just thought the edges would look nice with color from the borders and backs. Did you get them from Book Depository, Claire1805? You could contact them and tell them the problem and see if you can get another. Like I said, I use quite often and no problem and I have had for a couple months now.

Thanks for the advice! I might have to check with Book Depository then. I only have them for around a week or so now...

Then it definitely shouldn't be doing that, Claire!
I don't riffle shuffle, not that that should really matter. I do an over and under shuffle. But I have paid much more for a deck that DID wind up getting white spots or peeling and I was pleasantly surprised by this inexpensive little deck and how sturdy it seems. So yes, I would contact Book Depo if that happened to me!

JUST edged my deck....
I will try to put up a pic Thursday. I used Gathered Twigs by Tim Holtz. It is definitely BROWN. I think it looks great. But if you just want an "aged" look, this would likely be too dark. I could easily just wipe away any stray bit (but you need to do it before it dries, even though waterbased, once it was dry, even a damp qtip wouldn't get any little bit off) and on the backs this is great because the backs have a kind of mottled brown, it isn't just one shade, so I just kind of rubbed any little bit in and it looks good. But expect BROWN, like tree brown.

I did wind up moving my Under the Roses along. Lovely deck, but yes, the WHIP, while I could read with it and just trained myself to see it the way I see the WHIP/BROOM, seemed out of place in a "Victorian" style deck. In many ways, it is a lovely, but that was a bit of a strange Whip....

This is my newest deck and I really like it a lot. Have done a bunch of readings with it for people and they flow really well. Popular with the person being read for each time as well. The sepia really harmonizes the look. Appreciate the multicultural images very much
