Oh, these look great! Thanks so much for posting them.
I'm definitely keeping it on my wishlist now. I think I would enjoy using the deck a lot if I trimmed it.

Beautiful! Makes me want to reconsider this deck.

Oh My Goddess! - looks like I've finally joined the ranks of "deck alterers"
Have trimmed my Crowley-Harris (Thoth Tarot deck) like so:

The top is the trimmed, the bottom is the original.
I'm amazed how much fun it is to do - and how much more I like it.
Will check out this thread more thoroughly for everyone else's recent endeavours soon...
(was just "dying" to communicate mine somewhere... now going back to complete the rest of the deck.)

A definite improvement, Tanga! Looks great!

You should trim the whole thing, Tanga, they look much better with just images!
Pinterest is a bit of a pain; if you're not a member you can't see the whole thing, as a banner flips up asking you to log in or continue and then you have to log in with facebook anyway (which I never do).
I got a quick glimpe - enough to admire your handiwork. It's so therapeutic and the results are so rewarding. It makes the deck yours!

I know - but I'm not ready to cut off the Crowley labels yet - as I still need them as a guide - seeing as I hardly use this deck.
I can look forward to doing this later... Yes - sorry. I'm not a subscriber and not very techie either. All will have to struggle with my Pinterest photos until my status changes.Madrigal

I bought a cheap Conver Marseille and would like to trim off the white borders. Should I round the corners or not? I noticed Gregory thought corner rounding was a bad idea on a Marseille.
Why is that and what would you all recommend. Are square corners the traditional production style for old Marseille decks?
I am mainly cutting it down because its cheap and I haven't done it before and think this will be a good practise deck before trimming the Druidcraft.
I'm cutting by Stanley knife and ruler so the deck won't be perfect (but bloody close).

It looks beautiful! Sometimes when I trim a deck I have to mark the cards with abbreviation of the name of the cards for easy recognition. The design of this deck allow the number on the bottom to be shown. That's great, in my view.
