How big are they?

Has anyone seen those Little Big Books series that you find in book stores? I bought one yesterday that comes with a complete teeny tiny deck of 78 cards. The cards are about 3/4 inch by 1 inch. I haven't looked at the cards yet...they're sealed in the box. It's going to be a little gift for a tarot reading friend. I'm tempted to go & buy one for myself. :D

Your little cards soon really sweet, bet they look cool as a picutre too.. of to search for them now :D Maybe an early christmas present for.. ummm.. me ;)

Aren't they neat! Just be careful when you shuffle them - they're easy to bend. I shuffle in 3 sections, then put them together. I've never been able to swish them around on a table to shuffle - not organized enuf for me. And if you got them in the cardboard box (not the keychain ones) - one or two can slip out of the box once the box is a little bent.

Oo I just found a site in the uk that sells loads of tarot decks at excellent prices!!
http://www.playingcardsales.co.uk/

I looked it up for piccies and got http://www.astroamerica.com/t-albano.html

Summary of deck:

Another of the several re-coloured versions of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Pamela Colman-Smith's artwork is copied exactly and re-coloured. There are several similar tarot decks, but this one is loudly coloured, sometimes garishly so. The red or orange skies look a little strange.

Summary taken from: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/albanowaite/index.html


:D

[Silver Venus]

Thanks babe! I should of thought to look in aecletic ;)

Oh, the cards are smaller than that! :D I bought that exact book for a tarot-reading friend of mine too! (Sorry Raevyn, it's not you, but I got you something else for Yule! ;)) They are miniscule! I have no idea how you'd use them for a spread - maybe you'd have to deal them with tweezers!! :D

I also have a mini deck - I think it the Universal Waite deck? I'll have to look it up, but the cards are maybe an inch wide and 1.5 or 1.75 inches long (???). Don't trust those numbers; I'm a metric grrl! :cool:

You're right...they are smaller. I still haven't decided if I'm going to keep them or give them away. :D

[Silver Venus]

Was that a big hint to do a swap? ;)

[Lavender]

Hey! My reply disappeared!

Heh! I bought them for my friend but I really wanted to keep them. I'm going to be good & give them to her. :D

[Silver Venus]

Sure she'll love them :)
Are they really nice?

I didnt buy them before.. I dont know why.. wierd! maybe I got distracked and shut the site off.. Wierd! I kind of like my normal size decks and have a strong favourite deck.. so what do you think?

Guess they are really sute :)
