Saturn Celeste Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I want that deck so bad!! But I will enjoy the photos you guys share using it as your deck! <3
sandrang123 Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I just found a first edition for about 60 more than the 2nd edition. Worth it to splurge? (God, I am going broke over here...) It's a beautiful deck Raggydoll[/member]

It's a beautiful deck Raggydoll[/member] $60 is a steal! Nab that deck before it goes away!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to be a bad influence, but The Alice is my primary reading deck and it is simply fabulous, especially if you can also get the book.
sandrang123 Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Well, it's 60.00 MORE than the 2nd edition cost, so still pretty costly for me. :) I just found a first edition for about 60 more than the 2nd edition.

From what Raggydoll said the cards are either the same or differences between editions are so subtle they are not obvious.

It's a beautiful deck Raggydoll[/member] I wonder if the first edition won’t go down in prize now. That often happens when there is a new edition. But I get why you’re tempted <3 I am currently reading the guidebook and the section called Abridged version of both Alice books. That section is brilliant. It tells the story chronologically and illustrates it with each card in its right place. I chose to read that part first as I wanted to get a good feel for the deck in its entirety. I’m fairly well versed in the Alice books but it’s nice to refresh the memory
Nanook Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Mine arrived today and it is taking every bit of self control I have to not open it right now. I'm at work and don't think studying tarot is in my job description :-)
Raggydoll Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 First reading with this deck: https://www.thetarotforum.com/30-days-working-with-the-moon-spreads/raggydolls-30-days-of-working-with-the-moon/msg85975/#msg85975 I am loving basically everything about this deck and the way it reads. Very on point and fun/sassy attitude. The only thing thing I am a little bit hesitant about is the cardstock. It is not bad quality - not at all. In fact this is (to quote the creators) "high quality 300 gram playing card stock with a carbon inner layer to protect against bending and creasing". So it will be super durable and shuffles really well. My issue is with the fact that it actually feels like high quality playing card stock. I tend to prefer thicker and less bendy cardstock. I am just very tactile like that. But those who riffle shuffle will probably love this deck. And I very much appreciate that the metallic overlay is underneath the top coating so that it will not wear off.
Jewel Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 But those who riffle shuffle will probably love this deck. And I very much appreciate that the metallic overlay is underneath the top coating so that it will not wear off. Yep that is me :D I absolutely love the feel of all of my MRP decks. I love touching them, shuffling them, looking at them, everything about them. Everything about their decks just oozes quality. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am a Baba Studios/MRP fan girl ;) I am off to go see your reading with this deck.

The Alice tarot (at least my edition) has another feel to it. Much more flexible and bendy.

Guess I was a wee bit quicker than you :heartz: They sent mine on Friday evening and I got it on Wednesday - that’s really fast considering where I live!
