Vintage Rider Waite Tarot Card Deck 1959 University Books 1st Edition Red Box
SOLD $499.99 Sold: Sep 18, 2023 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
I believe this vintage Rider Waite tarot deck is the first edition printed by University Books in New York in 1959 / 1960. It includes the full set of cards plus two promo / advertising cards, and a textured burgundy / maroon slip case box with The Fool on one side and The High Priestess on the other side. The cards are colorful and have a pink ankh design on the back. The box has some minor signs of wear, but the cards themselves are in excellent condition. I don't see any stains, bent corners, rips or marks. The cards are still glossy and vibrant. I believe this tarot deck sat untouched in storage for quite some time before I acquired it. It has the faint musty scent of old books. If you want to freshen the aroma that's up to you! The box measures approximately 5" x 3 1/4" x 1 1/4". Please see photos for details. My home is smoke-free. Due to the rare and special nature of this tarot deck it will be shipped fully insured, signature required. If this is an issue for you please do not bid. Thanks! (Condition: Pre-Owned)
