I've got the US Games "yellow box" RWS with the plaid back. I was happy with it at first, but the more I look at it, the more I'm put off by the poor quality of the printing on the cards. The typeface titles don't bother me much, but they don't help, either.
I've placed the Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack (handwritten letters) in my Amazon cart, but I'm a little concerned. The reviews seem to be mostly good, although one reviewer said the cards looked a little "orangey", but also said it gave them a kind of antique look. It does have the original Tudor Rose back design. It also comes with a copy of the Pictorial Key to the Tarot (which I have found to be an incredibly dry read, but it's interesting for it's historical value)
I would like a better print of the RWS for reading with. For about fourteen bucks, it this pack worth the money? Or would I be no better off than with the deck I have.
ETA- I just found Kat Black's review, and she seems to think it's great. Apparently the colors are more muted than on newer versions of the deck, which also appeals to me.
