Wow, very interesting. Maybe I'll try a majors only reading, or devise a courts only spread to try with my DTT deck.
These have been reincarnated as the Wishcraft Tarot. Find it here: http://www.wishcraftmagic.com/tarot.php
Bookman's at Country Club and Southern in Mesa, for those of you who live in the Phoenix area, had a crapload of these this morning. They wanted $6 each for them, and each one is NOS meaning they're sealed. I think they had about a dozen copies? I might go back and pick up a couple for resale.
It's the same line art as the Dollar Tree tarot but the printing is in black, neon pink, and electric blue. The lurid colour scheme works better than the original, IMO. They also have proper 8s, 9s, and 10s instead of having the Ace and a 1 with no 8 or 9 cards. The funky placeholder cards are gone too, replaced by a full sequence of suits. The card stock is much heavier, more like US Games card stock, and has a nice semigloss laminate coating. No sticky feeling, no gritty feeling, it feels like a standard Tarot deck.
The Majors have no Key numbers. I think all of us can place them in order in our sleep, though.
It also comes with a 'magical mat' which is basically a heavy felt Tarot cloth. The cloth itself is made of neon pink heavy craft felt with the spread printed in black ink. I suppose it's nice if you want to learn a new spread, otherwise it's not really useful. It's still much better quality than the cheapass paper one that came with the DTT.
The cards themselves come in their own tuck box, and the full set is in a triangular (when seen from the side) box. I'm keeping everything as a set.
So if you guys are interested, here it is. Enjoy!
