Doing a reading exchange has just reminded me that Mythical Goddess Tarot also has lovely backs.

My favourite backs of all are on the Albano-Waite deck. I just think they look very classy.

Other decks whose backs I like are:

Thoth,
World Spirit,
Anna K,
Morgan Greer,
Glastonbury Tarot,
Sheridan-Douglas - the 2006 reprint.

I don't really like reversible backs because I don't like turning the cards upside down.

I'd agree with Nisaba about the backs of the Kissa Tarot. The backs are so beautiful I had trouble turning them over to look at the fronts.

I also really like the backs of the Pictorial Key. Simple yet beautiful:

<grin> Beautiful, aren't they. Also got to put in a vote for the Lebanese backs, too. Just the kind Le Fanu has said he likes: subtle, tasteful, understated, not competing with the fronts but in keeping with the theme of the deck. And since I'm fresh from the de-enabling thread where I've been righteously slamming the Sacred Circle deck, in all honesty I have to say that I still find its backs quite attractive.

I'd forgotten the Kaos unicyclist Thank you for reminding me! Maybe not gorgeous, but definitely unique and wonderful
