New Rider Waite Decks Without the 70's Tablecloth Backing?

[Wyrdkiss]

Greetings everyone,

 

My sis is visiting in October and I want to buy her a RWS deck to take back when she flies home.

But the hideous (to me) picnic tablecloth style backing I had on my last one wouldn't appeal to her.

 

can any of you recommend an edition that has an alternative back?  

 

Thanks so much, I thinks she'll appreciate it.

Oh, just browsing ... I completely forgot about the Universal Waite option.  Nice back on that, brighter colors. I'll still see what you all recommend, but I like that.

The PCS commemorative deck doesn't have those backs

Truer to the original than the Universal, I think.

I think the Lo Scarabeo RWS decks don't have the 70's Tablecloth (lol!) backs

 

My fave is the Pamela Coleman Smith RWS from them, it has updated colours and different backgrounds (much nicer for me!) but a flowers type pattern on the backs
