Morgan Greer Tarot in a Tin

I've had my original Morgan Greer deck for a few years now and I really enjoy it. The one downside is the size - full size tarot cards are sometimes hard for me to shuffle well. I wanted something player card sized for easier handling, and for ease of travel. Well, this set fills those needs easily. If you're worried about the artwork, don't be. Yes, all the illustrations are reduced in size to fit the smaller cards, but they're still as lovely and legible as the original deck. It's like someone took a full size M-G deck and shrunk it down. The cards have the same feel, but shuffling and handling the cards is so much easier. Plus, this set comes in a sweet little metal tin, which is great for keeping the cards safe from damage. These are super easy to throw in a purse or bag and take with you. Well worth the price. My new favorite deck - love them!

I follow several tarot card readers on YouTube who use a variety of different decks. That's how I discovered many of the decks I now own, including this one. The bold colors jumped off the screen! The drawings are a bit cartoon-like, based on Rider-Waite-Smith images for the most part. I bought the mini deck, which comes in a cute storage tin. The cards are approx 2.25" x 3.5", a good size for a pocket deck you can carry around with you. The card stock is slightly glossy and on the thinner side, but because they're smaller they don't feel too flimsy. If it matters to anyone, The Star and The Lovers cards show a little more nudity than a RWS deck - i.e. the nipples aren't just dots, they look more realistic, and the male's hairy backside is peeking through some leaves in the garden! This is a fun, colorful deck to have in your collection if you're looking for something different from the very detailed drawings you find on many of the fantasy style decks.

I love these. They’re so pretty and their size is like a regular deck of cards, which is awesome because some are too big to even manage.

If you like the Morgan-Greer, you'll love it in this portable format. The Morgan-Greer cards are beautiful, borderless images originally created in 1979 (thereabouts). The images follow the RWS format though they have a close-up approach, creating a more intimate feeling. Some of the images will definitely feel dated (check out that mustache!), and that's precisely the charm. The colors are warm and inviting. It's an easy deck with which to read. The card production is nice and sturdy and the size works wonderfully in smaller hands. The tin is icing on the cake! It makes these gems entirely portable, ensconced in their armor. Bring it on!

I used to have the full sized Morgan-Greer tarot deck, but full sized decks are very hard for me to shuffle as I have torn ligaments in my hand. When I saw that they made this in a playing deck size, I had to get it. I have found that my older clients who can't see as well always tend to really be drawn to the Morgan-Greer deck as the imagery is bright and colorful and easier to see. It is a RWS styled deck and with the smaller size, it is also easier for my elderly clients to shuffle as well. I love the tin it comes in as this is much more protective of the cards than the cardboard boxes most decks come in. I wish EVERY TAROT CREATOR would make a deck this size - I'd buy a lot more decks!!!

Wasn't going to get this one because I have the standard but I'm kinda boycotting standard sized tarot decks right now and going with pocket and/or mini sizes because the standard size has damaged the nerves in my hands and caused arthritic flare ups from heavy use over the years. The only thing I do not like about this deck is the coloration. Really prefer the coloring of the standard over this but it will have to do. Why do we with small, crippled hands have to suffer with subpar product? Its not like we are choosing the smaller size to skimp out. We are choosing the smaller size because that's what we can comfortably use. I'm tired of being punished for not having gargantuan man hands. I'm a lady. Please make the color the same as the standard while retaining the cardstock and size of this deck. That would be worth 5 stars.

It's so cute y'all! It's a great size. I bought it having read the other reviews, knowing it was travel sized. And it's not to heavy for my daily bag. I can't tell you how many times I've been out and about wishing I'd brought a deck, but didn't because they're bricks in my bag. And I hesitate to cart around cards in their paper boxes. I lost a few good decks to lip gloss or perfume spills. The tin is lovely, I've wrapped the cards in a clothe to keep em from rattling around in there. I love the artwork, the devil card is a full on devil y'all, but I kinda like it. I love all the 70s moustache action. The artwork really held up. It's retro and a little kitschy. Maybe I just grew up seeing this deck at hippie parents houses, but it's nostalgic. The colors on this travel deck look great to me. Vibrant. The camera is zoomed in close on this deck but I really like that. The images feel simple and clean, I love the colors. The things that might bother those that are persnicity are, the tiny usgames logo, ugh!, but I personally can move past that. I do the reverse cards thing, and this logo doesn't bother me, I barely look at the cards while I shuffle. Some of the elemental symbology on the suit cards seems a little off, but, meh. The ol' time Rider/Waite symbology is there, though some of the artwork has shifted the meanings of some of the cards for me, but... That's like every single deck.Tarot decks are snowflakes. And a Rorschach. I really like this one.

With that title, you know that I've had a strong love of this deck over the years! I'm not always a fan on the mini sized decks, and that's coming from my 'small hands' self. Do you like to sometimes do, or often clarify your readings with extra cards? I do. I will always want a traditional sized Tarot deck for readings. I like seeing everything on the cards. Most of us are fairly limited in our surface area to have too many cards laid out and I like large full spreads. I primarily wanted the in a tin version for two reasons. First being, they can be easily be carried with you, just tossing them into your bag and go! Second, and this is actually my main reason for wanting these! If you have: a well loved deck, if you like doing large spreads, like ten to twelve cards, have a somewhat limited space, then to clarify some cards, more than likely your going to be covering over some cards. This is where size matters! The Mini helps! Then, I thought of my Win-Win! 🥰 Why not do this? In my readings, I'm use a Combination of the two, the Morgan Greer of the traditional size for the Card Spread and followed up by a Mini Me of the Morgan Greer in the tin for my clarifying cards! It's all the same art and deck! Plus it is easily seen as for which cards is belonging to which deck! I really love being able to use two identical decks, with the except for size, in this way.
